Hawks Expected To Make Clint Capela Available Via Trade 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun May 19, 2024 8:49 pm

The Atlanta Hawks are expected to put center Clint Capela on the trade block this summer. The Hawks have Onyeka Okongwu starting a four-year extension this coming season. Atlanta could also draft big man Alex Sarr with the first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.


Capela has one season remaining on his contract at $22.3 million for 2024-25. He's also just turned 30 years old, which makes him one of the older players on the Hawks roster.


The Switzerland native averaged 11.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks last season. That was Capela's seventh consecutive season averaging a points-rebounds double-double.

He's cheap at $14m/year and pretty young, and no one's gonna trade much for him. No reason not to keep him in the rotation.

I don't even think Sarr will ever have the same impact as prime Capella.

Maybe 76ers make a deal for him as a neccesary backup for Embiid to prevent injury and help the 76ers when Embiid gets inevitably injured.

You guys do realize that Capella has lead the league in rebounds, field goal percentage, been a runner up on leading the league in blocks before, along with making the All NBA Defense team right?

Capela is great. I was just laughing because everyone else was laughing. As they say, laughter is contagious. :lol:
