What a monster deal!
I've always been a fan of Capela, as shadyvsesham knows, and now he gets the privilege of being an Atlanta Hawk.
The Hawks have been absolutely terrible at center, so this is huge.
The Houston Rockets acquired the Minnesota Timberwolves' Robert Covington and traded center Clint Capela to the Atlanta Hawks as part of a four-team, 12-player deal on Tuesday night, league sources told ESPN.
The NBA's most expansive trade in nearly 20 years saw the Timberwolves acquire two first-round picks, including Houston's 2020 pick, which they moved on to the Denver Nuggets for guard Malik Beasley and forward Juan Hernangomez, sources said.
The Timberwolves keep the best available first-round pick in the trade deadline marketplace -- Atlanta's 2020 first-round pick via the Brooklyn Nets. Denver gets Houston's 2020 first-round pick; the Nuggets are expected to be active offering it in deals to continue upgrading a roster that is third in the Western Conference standings.
Among the trade details, sources told ESPN:
Minnesota also acquires Atlanta's Evan Turner and Denver's Jarred Vanderbilt.
Denver acquires Minnesota guard Shabazz Napier, forward Keita Bates-Diop, forward Noah Vonleh and injured guard Gerald Green.
Atlanta acquires Houston center Nene Hilario.
Houston also receives Jordan Bell from Minnesota and an Atlanta 2024 second-round pick via the Golden State Warriors.
For the Rockets, they keep the flexibility of $12 million in cap space that allows them to expand this trade between now and Thursday's 3 p.m. ET NBA trade deadline. Houston can add a player who helps now, take on a player for assets and use those to further upgrade the team.
After Golden State and Minnesota were unable to reach an agreement that would've included them trading guard D'Angelo Russell and Andrew Wiggins-- among a host of other contracts and picks -- Timberwolves president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas pivoted to completing the four-team deal with Denver.
Minnesota considers Beasley and Hernangomez as players it hopes to sign to new contracts in the offseason, quality fits around center Karl-Anthony Towns and Wiggins.
