Hawks TRADING Clint Capela, What They Will Get And Why

[@smithcs790]

capella is a good fit for the hawks. all the reasons why another team might want capella are the reasons why the hawks also want capella. plus he is part of the team chemistry they have built. if something better comes knocking the hawks won't say no, but from the outside this doesn't look like a situation where they would be actively shopping him, except for the rumors etc.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

capella as an expiring is two 2nds max with filler.

[@Rangelong]

@@giovanni-ed7zqexactly! And they have another big that does just as much as he does if not more at this stage. Hawks fans are delusional

[@michealcarter972]

Hawks would be crazy to trade him onyeka not ready

[@ro229time3]

Yes he is

[@kaizoku8087]

He’d be great for Lakers Warriors Mavericks Suns Heat Hornets Rockets Spurs Pelicans Wizards

[@appetizerssushi7121]

So, he'd be good for almost every team in the NBA, yep!!!!

[@kaizoku8087]

@ You’re not wrong in saying that due to the shortage of centers around the league but I listed the teams that he’d have the best usage with.

[@dmitryowens]

Capela is still decent, but probably a year or two away from being washed-up. Definitely a backup at this stage of his career.

[@blablablaa14]

They are doing this because Larry Nance is on an expiring deal and is looking better. He's younger, more athletic, and his three point shot isn't a joke. He went 5/6 from three yesterday playing against Wemby. He is legit

[@dmitryowens]

Dude, Nance is a year and a half older than Capela 😄

[@MrImaginationUnleash]

What? Nance never plays. If he was better than Capela, he would be playing more. Only reason he played last game is because OO, is hurt. And i like Nance, but he's not better than Capella. Keep him.

[@dmitryowens]

@@MrImaginationUnleash Nance is a solid veteran bench play, but, he's much more of a PF than C.

[@kittycat2983]

Not only is Nance older than Capela but both of them are on expiring contracts 🤷

[@johnnylove2073]

​@@kittycat2983what's even more hilarious is that I recognize this guy's username, and he's constantly on basketball videos talking COMPLETE NONSENSE. Always wrong about everything, and horrible takes. He was trying to excuse Clowney throwing the ball in the stands a few days ago. And then everyone jumped on him (including me) in the comments, pointing out how if HE was in the stands and got hit in the face, he would be trying to sue.

[@meyou879]

With the new cba a lot of these players will be stuck on those teams until contract done .why would they give certain pieces for players to be a free agent

[@TheDubtapehybridtherapper]

Hawks fan here. I hate to see him go. I worry about chemistry.

[@TonyoAudible]

He’s a liability on defense and offense. He’s a decent rebounder tho.

[@MrImaginationUnleash]

You didn't listen to the video, did you?

[@Jets234]

Bruce brown

[@lockdownpublications3169]

The Hawks need Capela to handle big centers

[@windowman9665]

The big yak number one for sure. He’s the youngest, most well rounded, and he’s super smart. He’s been working really well out of the high post. Anytime he doesn’t play the raptors get killed. Not just on d, on o to. Even though he isn’t a stretch big, with his passing out of the high post he can stretch the paint out. I think he fits perfect on Goldenstate. I’m Shocked they are not going after him hard. Same with Memphis. He fits perfect there

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

he was injured, so no one gonna trade for him till he comes back and plays. also really depends on asking price. no one is gonna fix the overpay of a top 8 pick and two 2nds for jakob poeltl. his value is a mid 1st top 10-12 protected, and maybe a young player and filler.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

from memphis its likely smart and a top 10 protected 1st for jakob poeltl, and raptors will have to try to trade smart for another 1st to another team like houston, thunder or lakers. from hawks it will be capella and the lakers 1st that will be mid, maybe bufkin in there with davion mitchell coming to hawks.

[@jpalm10]

[@robertbrown3830]

Not a good idea to trade Capela. Okongwu is undersozed and better off the bench.

[@90itwo8]

Not for the Lakers.

[@brucechang6016]

Why can’t the Lakers scoop in on Capela? Rob?

[@kaizoku8087]

Maybe because they didn’t mention this move it’s the one they’re actually making

[@pariketthakkar2687]

Atlanta will not trade with LA because of the pick that they have which is contingent on how well LA does. They essentially want LA to do bad which gives a higher chance at a higher pick in the draft

[@Oberonz1]

Sacramento should jump like yesterday...

[@blablablaa14]

You can't play Sabonis and Capela together and Capela costs a lot of salary

[@Oberonz1]

@ bro I’m listening to Sactown pods and they need a 4 bad, my solution is move Bonus to 4 and play Cap at 5 with DeMar at 3 and you got a legit frontline. Move Murray to Bench now you got a better bench etc.

[@xavirik4828]

​@@Oberonz1you want a lineup with Derozan, Capela and Sabonis. Come on man, you don't know what you're doing

[@Oberonz1]

@ it’s an adjustment for the best chance at a current run. John Collins is good too, but Cappella could hopefully be available for lyles and Heurter if they got lucky

[@mrawesome7175]

hawks should try get poetl

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

i can see poeltl and davion mitchell for capella bufkin and the lakers first which will be mid pick. if the kings were not looking like their pick wouldnt transfer, it would be kings pick. but if kings pick doesnt transfer its two 2nds after this year i think.

[@SeedsForPurpose]

​@@giovanni-ed7zq Giving a a solid starter and 1st round pick in Kobe is enough. Poetl isn't a star we don't need to give up the Lakers pick for him and Mitchell they won't move the needle on the Hawks contending anyway just saying.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

so what magical picks you think hawks have after giving them to spurs lol. the kings pick wont convert and turns into two 2nds. they not taking that for jakob poeltl. that lakers pick that is gonna be mid is the only pick the hawks have that will convert. no one taking that kings pick, go look where the kings are in tankathon and see if that top 12 protected pick is gonna convert in the west. bufkin hasnt shown much either and is injury prone so he is just a flyer. he doesnt have much value. and most certainly isnt gonna replace a 1st the hawks dont have other than lakers pick. they may have one in 2031 but its so far away it wont help raptors rebuild. if they do take it they gonna ask for it to be unprotected. thats the situation with hawks picks. capella is nowhere near the compensation with bufkin for jakob poeltl. there has to be a convertable first in there that helps the raptors rebuild, and thats the lakers pick that will be mid.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@SeedsForPurpose go look at jakob poeltl stats this year and compare it to capella. jakob is under contract and not an expiring as well. capella is on the decline and all players under 30 have expiry dates, and they not resigning capella. too old and dont fit the time line. its why they trying to move capella, expiring and showing decline.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@SeedsForPurpose go look for what picks hawks have, they gave them to spurs. and the ones they have, they cant trade because of sepien rule. and kings pick with a top 12 protection likely wont convert and turns into two 2nds cuz its been not converting for a few years now also. its like the utah top 10 protected pick the thunder own, it turns into two 2nds after this year. its why capella is being traded, he is on the decline, is old and and expiring, and hawks dont want him back.

[@mlchachere]

OO should NOT be the starting center...Too short, Too slow, and injury prone

[@haitileblanc3075]

They had a defensive guard and it didn’t work

[@SmoothBrownMan]

Toronto Raptors not trading Jakob P. They're actually one lottery pick away from being a good team again IMO. They get a top 5 pick this yr and they're right back in the mix.

[@echofawks1270]

DUMBEST TAKE TO TRADE HUNTER/ CAPELA FOR ZION....SMH

[@Davivd2]

The Hawks can send Capela to the Bulls, The Bulls can send Vucivich to the Warriors and the warriors could package Kuminga, Gary Payton the 2nd, and Brandon Podziemski to Atlanta.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

i got news for you, capella value is two 2nds max and bad filler coming back.

[@bigtimelakersfan5836]

Would a trade of DLo & Jhs plus 2 second round picks get it done?

[@jamesedwards7946]

I wish Atlanta could trade CC for Ayton

[@Davivd2]

They could probably package him and Deandre Hunter to make it happen. I wouldn't do that though if I were the Hawks. Hunter is so underrated.

[@jamesedwards7946]

@Davivd2 no that wouldn't work, the numbers don't match, CC, zellor and Matthews would, CC and Nance but with OO injured Nance isn't going anywhere

[@jamesedwards7946]

@Davivd2 Portland would have to give up more than Ayton for Dre, they would have to give up scoot and Sharpe, a Ayton, scoot and shape for CC and Dre the numbers work

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

if you heard the portland beat writers talk about ayton, he is a locker room cancer from their reports of throwing tantrums and kicking over garbage cans.

[@jamesedwards7946]

@giovanni-ed7zq Ayton is in purgatory in Portland, who cares what Deni thinks😂😂😂 I like my big men with an attitude, I haven't heard 1 Portland podcaster say anything negative about Ayton just that Portland wants to get off his contract, I think that's BS who are these writers, I can research myself, and don't mention Booker or Monty they haven't done anything themselves 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jeremyarnold2145]

Hawks should get Zion.

[@willpeabody6348]

Nah we got to many forwards and plus Zion don’t wanna be here so it’s just ganna be the same situation like the Pelicans

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

zion needs the ball in his hands and he doesnt space the floor or play defence

[@phantomdancer3279]

no expensive centers plz whether its the contract or picks, our best option is valancunas as he will cost just second rounders and has a justifiable contract. then use picks to fix actual problems we have like our starting lineup lacks any kind of 2 way depth.

zion is two first round picks to start the conversation. hunter may be playing better but its a small sample size so they may want someone else like johnson

[@Davivd2]

@@giovanni-ed7zq Zion is washed. The Pelicans would be lucky to get a guy who fills a need and a guy with all star potential for Zion's fat ass. The only reason why the Hawks should do this is that Zion's money isn't guaranteed past this year and the Hawks can walk away from him if he doesn't step up and do his job.

@@clampa224 you not getting zion for hunter and capella. thats for sure. you probably need two unprotected picks like 4-5 years from now to get the deal done for that. that lakers pick is a mid pick even if its unprotected. with the picks hawks have, you probably have to include jj or give dyson daniels back along with a flyer on bufkin. thats the reality. they dont need to trade zion btw. i think if he moved its in summer where teams more willing to part with players.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@clampa224 deandre hunter may be playing well in a short sample size, but reality is he wasnt playing well and in injury prone as well on a long term contract that is bad before his 2 months of playing well. hunter is a 2nd round pick likely as an expiring. you not getting zion for that. remember a year ago they couldnt find a team to take hunter cuz his contract is considered a bad contract.
