I've been against trading JC for JJJ unless they could obtain a rebounder to play along side JJJ. Well what if they could get Capela for the BKN pick and JJJ for JC plus a future pick? Would anyone do that? How would they fit together? I'm thinking a lineup of Trae / Cam / Hunter / JJJ / Capela would have scoring, defense, and rebounding. Thoughts? I have been having the same exact thought. It could be a real terror, both offensively and defensively. It may just be achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhhh man I don’t know ...if you’re saying that because of typical center size I understand but capela is a far better all around defender in this era over Adams. Both can rebound so no difference there maybe outside of Adams boxing out his man better but Adams can’t switch onto the perimeter defensively like capela i think I’d rather have capela over Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he has some limitations, but paired with JJJ or Collins I think it's a strong frontcourt. JJJ would be ideal in this scenario, so much defense and shooting. Adams and Collins works as well. It's starting to look to me like there are too many options for a deal to not materialize. Hawks hold a lot of the cards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txsting Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 JJJ and Capela = hyper modern NBA frontcourt, switch everything and launch bombs. Best Rockets/GSW idea. Adams and Collins = traditional high BBIQ, motion offense. Trae gets a million assists. I think either way can work. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capela or Adams can be super effective with Trae and make Collins even better. I would hope to see how that works the rest of this season were a trade for either Clint or Steven to materialize before thinking about trading Collins for JJJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the thing holding it up is the West is going through LA this year. Everyone is looking to add a big to try to lessen the impact of the Laker's size and athleticism as well as rumor is that the Clippers are in the market for a bigger big for the same reason. So all roads go through LA in the West. In the East, everyone wants a shot blocker to force the Bucks onto the perimeter. So the big market was expensive but no one bit so teams are starting to pucker. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted February 3, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Exciting trade season this year with so many rumors in the mix. Will any come to pass? That is the big question. Come the trade deadline will there be new presents to open? Or will it merely be: Signifying nothing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
