We definitely held too long on Capela.
Trading him to a desperate Dallas team last summer was the right play to make.

Like we do with most of our players. Knowingly and publicly making them available then keeping them , just keep stripping away their value year over year .
When he signed his extension 2 years ago, I made a comment on the Squawk that would make him easier to move at the TDL in lieu of his expiring contract. He was on the market at the TDL that year as was Gallo with his partial guarantee. We did nothing, even though we were struggling.
We keep doing the same things over and over.

I'm not looking for a full reboot, but if Capela's trade value is high enough, it might behoove us to move him trade.
I said this 14 months ago in this very thread.
Wish we would have heeded it...

I'd like for us to hold until the regular season to move him unless a team offers us value. Then again, he's 30 years old, and h can be a serviceable player for us, if we decide to keep him. His next contract more than likely won't be $20m per season.

If only he could finish all those offensive rebounds.
(Fun fact: he gets so many because he rebounds his own missed layups over and over again.)

With no other elite rebounders on the roster, Hawks will indeed miss Clint's ability to grab contested boards in close games.
