For several days, the Atlanta Hawks have been linked to a potential pursuit of Clint Capela, with multiple outlets shedding light on the team’s continued search for a starting-caliber center. On Tuesday afternoon, additional details surfaced from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, with the NBA’s leading news-breaker highlighting the potential for a four-way trade involving the Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors.
While the national headline of the reporting centered on Minnesota’s yearning for D’Angelo Russell, the Hawks are still reportedly focused on Capela.
The Timberwolves, Rockets and Hawks possess the assets to fulfill some of each team’s goals: forward Robert Covington to Houston, center Clint Capela to the Hawks and potentially two first-round picks and an expiring contract to Minnesota, league sources said.
