As mentioned in earlier articles trade rumors come heavy and fast during this time of year. Most aren’t legit just smoke screens but there are a few insiders that when they speak you should listen.
Since Capela has been out of the lineup recently the Rockets are 3-0 with their small ball lineup which has led some to believe the Rockets would could move on from Capela. With this news coming out today lets look at a few teams that the Houston Rockets could possibly send Capela to.
Atlanta Hawks Trade Scenarios
Hawks: De’Andre Hunter, Alex Len, First-round pick
Rockets :Clint Capela
The Atlanta Hawks have been in talks for a couple of weeks with several teams looking for a center. They have talked to the Thunder about Steven Adams and the Detroit Pistons about Andre Drummond.

Chicago Bulls
Bulls: Luke Kornet, Thaddeus Young first round pick
Rockets: Capela, Danuel House
Thaddeus Young isn’t going to move the meter in excitement for Rockets fans. On the season he is a
Luke Kornet is a 7’2′ center that has decent rim protection and can occasionally knock down the 3-pointer in a trade like this though it is all about the first-round pick. The Bulls pick of course would be a lottery pick but honestly not likely since the Bulls are building for the future.
The Rockets no doubt are looking to upgrade their talent. In the middle of pack
