I also feel like that package is more than competitive for a guy who's contract could be considered one of the worst in the league. 

There's no denying Gobert's impact and he's a winning player. But 40+ mil for a guy who can't be even a 3rd option on offense and is generally not well liked in the league makes him quite the unappetizing contract.

I'd argue that we'd be better off going for Capela. Half as much money and does 60-70% of what Gobert does. I also think ATL would be particularly motivated moving off from him to make room for Okongwu and they would have a vested interest in bringing in a guy like Maxi.

You don't have to convince me of that idea.  I have been beating the Capela drum for a while.  I would argue a finishing lineup of Capela/DFS/Luka/Din/Brunson is a contender.
