Mavericks Remain Interested In Trading For Clint Capela

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Dallas Mavericks remain interested in trading for Clint Capela. With the Atlanta Hawks one of the teams most interested in trading for Pascal Siakam, the Mavericks could participate in a potential trade involving the Toronto Raptors to take on Capela.

Capela has two seasons remaining on his contract at nearly $43 million.

With the Raptors re-signing Jakob Poeltl, they are not likely to have interest in taking on Capela.

The Mavericks and Hawks discussed a Capela trade before the draft, but the addition of Josh Green was a sticking point.

I love Josh Green but the addition of Capella would be huge considering the mavs play style and lack of interior def. I understand they would lack wing depth on the defensive side of the floor but their need for a rim-protecting big who can be a lob threat and hustles is just glaring.

Yeah he's the perfect center to play next to Luka. Makes too much sense to not happen.
