Travis Schlenk and the Atlanta Hawks landed a big fish on Tuesday evening, coming to an reported agreement on a four-team deal that would bring Houston Rockets center Clint Capela to Atlanta. Though the deal wasn’t a surprise by the time it arrived, the Hawks were able to secure Capela without overpaying from an asset perspective, sending out only Evan Turner (for salary matching), a 2024 second-round pick and the rights to a 2020 first-round pick from the Brooklyn Nets. However, Atlanta hasn’t officially announced the transaction, in part due to a roster issue.
With that as the backdrop, word broke on Wednesday that the Hawks were parting ways with Chandler Parsons.
