Atlanta Hawks Receive: F Davis Bertans, 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap – DAL) 

Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Clint Capela 

Of course, this wouldn’t be the first major trade these two sides have made with each other in recent years. 

Obviously, we’re talking about the 2018 draft day Doncic-for-Trae Young swap. That deal will go down as one of the more significant exchanges in NBA history. Most will agree that the Mavericks won. 

That’s not a knock on Young – it’s a compliment to Doncic. Young is also one of the best pick-and-roll ball handlers in the NBA.

In all likelihood, that’s why the team went out and got Capela.

Could they really trade his pick-and-roll partner?
