Getting rid of capela will somehow impact harden’s game. He won’t have an alley oop big anymore. harden will just drive or kick out for 3. Which I believe will benefit most teams moving forward.
Let’s see how far they will go

I started to write up a Wiggins to Dallas deal a few days ago and just could't bring myself to do it. I think he might thrive here surrounded by better players in a lower usage role (we've seen that movie before). But, I didn't like what it did to our D, so I passed on the idea.

I was one of the biggest advocates for a Wiggins + RoCo deal but that was when THJ was still considered a bad chucker. Now they don´t have RoCo and THJ is having a career year.
Wiggins also had a hot start this year but his numbers are slowly regressing. Add his contract and there is no asset outside of a top 5 pick or Towns that would make me want to trade for him.
I've wondered about Wiggins for two months. Certainly seems like a Mavs-type buy-low move. One thing about Wiggins, his value is low and he's still an awesome talent.
- A wing scorer that would allow the Mavs to play small;
- Adds size on the wing and tremendous athleticism;
- Mavs transition offense is near the bottom of the league (as the DFS article in The Athletic today notes);
- Mavs have a history of rehabilitating players like Wiggins (Stackhouse)
- Do the Mavs really need another good role player? Wiggins could be so much more, especially as a secondary weapon ...
- Is Wiggins less risky than going all-in on another dynamic talent like John Wall?

Wiggins isn't paid like Stackhouse...
I just don't think you can create a starting lineup with two abysmal defenders and hope to win in the playoffs.
Finally 1 hour has passed...

The New York Knicks have one of the top assets on the trade block ahead of Thursday's deadline, as several teams are interested in Marcus Morris Sr., according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
"There's a tremendous market for him," Wojnarowski said Wednesday on SportsCenter. "The Clippers, the Lakers would love to get him and then keep him away from the other."
I think I'm pretty well out on Tristan completely, if he's expecting a big payday this summer. He's paid what he's worth right now.
If Evan Turner gets bought out that's a player we should target.

I don't think we have much of a shot at him. There will likely be ten teams with a better shot at postseason success who will target him, and we can't offer more than the vet minimum. We would have to clear roster space for him anyway. A better move would be to trade for him now.

What would Minnesota give to get out of the $5-6 million dollar difference between Turner and Lee? I'd like a 2nd rd pick in the next couple of years ('21 especially)
