The Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets are in similar positions heading into the NBA regular season. They are both teams who have made moves in hopes of contending right away. With their current lineup configuration, there is a chance for both teams to make a trade featuring Clint Capela.
The Hornets have loaded up on point guard. This is because of the sudden breakout of Devonte’ Graham, who became a star in the league during last season. Terry Rozier was Charlotte’s big free-agent signing last offseason and they used the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft on LaMelo ball.
The Hawks are in a similar position in the backcourt. They are building around Trae Young and have signed other options such as Rajon Rondo. Atlanta also added Danilo Gallinari in free agency.
The Hawks acquired Clint Capela from the Houston Rockets in a trade but there’s always been a feeling that they want to include him in another deal. That only intensified after the team’s decision to select Onyeka Okonkwo in the 2020 NBA Draft.
This might be Atlanta’s chance to get a return on Clint Capela. Here is a potential trade that could happen between the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets.
