This.

He's everything Deandre Jordan is with better free throw shooting and better defense.

You can’t just say It’s not about if he’s worth the max lol. You’re talking about paying a max deal to Capela. If he’s not worth a max deal, that is suicide. Otherwise we can just throw that term around to any FA we think would be a great fit to our team. We can max Dedmon and Patrick Beverly because they’d bring defense, toughness and leadership.

It's the pitfalls of Restricted Free Agency. It also puts pressure on Houston and cripples them a bit if they either match it or lose him. I think Capela could be worth the max if you NEED & USE him to the max, or he is the exact missing piece and fits perfectly.

Okay, I think we are so many pieces away. We need another superstar ( I’m not convinced Josh is going to make it to that level). I do not think a core of Booker Jackson +our pick + Capela gets us to a title. Which is essentially what you’re telling yourself if you max Capela. We max Capela, extend Booker and that’s basically all of our cap space and we’re done building our roster for the most part. It is the kind of deal that was given to Ibaka and is a death sentence. You absolutely do not max role players to me, no matter how much you like them. Restricted FA isn’t a reason to overpay.

Let me be perfectly clear, with the scenario you just laid out, I agree with you entirely. I too think more needs to be done before Capela is thought of as the last missing piece.

Okay fair enough . I would like Capela on this team don’t get me wrong, I just want our stars locked up first. Get me Kawhi and somehow add Capela and I’m sold on a Booker Leonard Jackson/Doncic Capela core

I think we're on the same page or damn close to it.

I just need to know what pick we get for my sanity and then I need to know who we ultimately draft for my sanity and I need to know if that player ends up being a bust or star for my sanity. How’s that for a run on sentence?

Would also try to trade for Millsap.

Doncic-Booker-Jackson-Millsap-Dedmon plus the aftermath from the trades.

Also do the math on how much cap space I can add if I stretch Chandler and Knight, assuming I can't use Chandler-Dudley in a sign and trade for talent under contract.
