Charlotte Hornets Receive: Clint Capela
Atlanta Hawks Receive: Cody Zeller, 2021 2nd Round Pick (via LAC), 2021 2nd Round Pick (via BKN)
The Houston Rockets traded away Clint Capela to fit into their small-ball scheme under Mike D’Antoni. With D’Antoni, Houston might want Capela back right about now. The Charlotte Hornets have a chance to take advantage of a deal like this one.
The Atlanta Hawks would receive Cody Zeller in the deal along with two second round picks in the 2021 NBA Draft. Zeller is on an expiring contract so the commitment will not be long for Atlanta.
Let’s take a look and see how this deal impacts both the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks in the upcoming NBA season.
