I like Capela and a top tier with my defender.
ATL: Bullock + 2027 DAL 1st (top4 protected)
Hawks lower their tax bills gaining also more flexibility going forward.
DAL: Capela + Anunoby.
Mavs get rebounding, rim protection and overall a huge defensive boost.
TOR: Bertans + Hardy + #10.
Raps get a cheaper younger Trent replacement with good potential in Hardy and a top10 pick for an expiring OG.
Capela / Powell
Anunoby / Kleber
Green
Irving / Hardaway
Doncic
Assuming this is enough to get both of them(I still think Masai would still ask for the moon for OG though) on paper that's a contender if Kyrie and OG can stay healthy. The cons are this team would lack some depth, if we make these moves we could only sign players on minimum salary because it's a very expensive team (assuming Kyrie gets his max contract) and with the new CBA we have to stay under the second apron (projected to be around 180mln) to receive more salaries than we send out via trades and to use at least a part of the tax-mle.
Kyrie (46,9) + Luka (40,06) + Capela (20,62) + OG (18,64) + THJ (17,89) + Kleber (11) + McGee (5,76) + Green (4,76): 165,63mln committed to only 8 players, leaving 14/15 mln in salaries to fill the roster.
Anyway they have to plan the next offseason very well, this summer is gonna be crucial for the future of this franchise.
