The Atlanta Hawks are likely going to be doing a lot of reshuffling around their roster this offseason and will be one of the teams to watch. Winning the NBA Dr

aft Lottery even furthered that. A lot of the attention is on the backcourt of Dejounte Murray and Trae Young, but there are other Hawks that are likely going to be available as well and it has been speculated that center Clint Capela could be one of the players traded.reported that the Atlanta Hawks center is "likely bound for the trade market" this offseason..

Would he play center for the Hawks? Power forward? I think that is up for debate but if the Hawks take him, would that mean the likelihood of center Clint Capela being traded would go up? I think it would. Capela has been awesome for the Hawks ever since they acquired him in February of 2020 for next to nothing in a four-team deal that involved the Hawks, Rockets, Nuggets, and Timberwolves. He should have gotten more love as a defensive player of the year candidate in the 2020-2021 season and has been the anchor for Atlanta on the defensive end, a place where they have struggled.

After the Hawks traded for Capela, they drafted Onyeka Okongwu with the No. 6 pick in 2020 and some thought that Capela would only be in Atlanta for a couple of seasons until Okongwu took over full-time. Not only has that not happened, but both players signed extensions with Atlanta. It does not make a lot of sense to have those two together on the team any longer and that was before the Hawks had the opportunity to take Sarr.
