man this is so huge for the hawks i think. they are basically the worst rebounding team in the league this fit just makes so much sense. trae capella connection should be really solid really fast
― Thybulle on the Dash (Spottie), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 06:22 (four years ago) link
feel like capela and collins are too similar in body type/defensive skillset to make sense longterm but just accepting capela for a mid first round pick bcuz the rockets are spazzing out is def the kind of thing they should be doing
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 5 February 2020 06:28 (four years ago) link
collins is a bad defender i thought.
― Thybulle on the Dash (Spottie), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 06:30 (four years ago) link
what does this do for denver? i assume the pick will move?
― micah, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 06:31 (four years ago) link
yah all they did was secure a pick. they likely have some more moves coming

The Atlanta/Denver/Houston/Minnesota trade -- 12 players -- is the biggest NBA deal since the Knicks moved Patrick Ewing to Seattle in 2000, according to ESPN's @BobbyMarks42.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 5, 2020

oh man i love this for the hawks. schlenk has been sitting on picks year after year finally coaxed someone in to giving him good value for what would have been at best a late lotto pick in a weak draft year. i know very little about Capela other than that he's efficient, a good defender and not terrible on offense. he should fit nicely next to Collins

that doesnt rationalise trading depth for less depth when the nuggets have a chance at the title

Nuggets definitely want to make another deal but what the hell would it be? Pelicans seem happy to keep Jrue.

I don't really know what the Wolves are doing here but I never really do.

Because if something doesn't happen, they basically traded RoCo on a good contract for a protected first round pick

congrats everyone on a 4 way trade tho good stuff

lacking in star power but not without dece players
lol at the rockets going on a 4 game winning streak w/o capela and deciding to just say fuck it, its gonna suck for whoever has to pick up the pieces there
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 15:30 (four years ago) link
capela has sucked this year tho guess he has really been healthy got the sore foot
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 15:31 (four years ago) link
one of the ways i can talk myself into this for the rockets is if he really just isn't going to be healthy this year. doesn't matter at all to atlanta.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 15:34 (four years ago) link
curious about the cause and effect here:
Clint Capela didn't have the same value to the Rockets anymore since they don't set as many on-ball screens.The Rockets ranked 7th in plays finished using pick-and-roll in 2016-17, per @SynergySST. It's been a steady decline since then:2017-18: 9th2018-19: 23rd2019-20: 30th— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) February 5, 2020
capela ruled in NBA2K19 so I like this trade for the hawks
― juntos pedemos (Euler), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 15:35 (four years ago) link
capela is good excellent fit for atl too
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 15:57 (four years ago) link
I like the theory that denver did this just because they’re sick of matching up with Capela

not really sure I get this deal for denver other than getting capela out of the conference
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:55 (four years ago) link
i guess it's just clear they did not intend to keep those guys and consolidated them to get a decent first rather than bad firsts or seconds.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:56 (four years ago) link
seems like they basically replaced the draft capital they lost in the grant trade for 2 guys they weren't going to keep
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:57 (four years ago) link
yah get something for their 10th/11th guys they didnt really want to keep anyway. i like it. and now they have another asset to add to the pile for Jrue or whatever.

mb a little weirdness with collins but they cn try to stagger their minutes and collins can shoot more when they play together shd be ok

wonder if we might see harden on a new team by this time next year

make it bigger
Why 4-team trade may get bigger: Not enough time to complete a follow-up trade since physicals etc. won't be completed til after deadline. So have to stuff any business with newly acquired players/picks/exceptions into this deal.— John Hollinger (@johnhollinger) February 5, 2020
