That's fair value, maybe, but I don't see why ATL would want him. Can you help me there?
They're trying to recreate GSW/HOU 5 out offense. Capela is a solid piece for them but he's just a rim protector and rolls to the basket. He can't shoot and it limits their ideal offensive game plan. ATL theoretically would want KP for the same reasons GSW would want him. 5 out. Big guy. Can stretch the floor. Can rim roll too. Theoretically can protect the rim. Fits better next to JC.
Mavs getting Capela would be the first step in trying to recreate HOU's death lineup with Harden/CP3/Capela. They were an absurd 46-2 or something like that when those 3 played. Luka plays a lot like Harden right? Well why wouldn't we get a dude that can catch a lob from anywhere?
Reddish had a better 2nd year but still is a long ways away. He hasn't even played in the playoffs this year from injury (achilles soreness) so he shouldn't be thought as a core piece to their success. It essentially boils down to a Capela for KP swap and to me it makes sense to both teams. ATL gets a star. Mavs get a 2nd chance and a player that slots into a roll well here.
