Multiple teams around the league are looking to make a trade as we head into NBA Trade Deadline week, leading to plenty of trade rumors. The trade deadline is set for Thursday, Feb. 6th at 3 P.M. ET. More teams have continued to put their stars on the trade block lately to check their value on the trade market.<\/p>\n
Starting center Clint Capela<\/a><\/strong> is in trade talks according to Shams Charania<\/a> in what has been a shock from the Houston Rockets<\/a> organization. The Rockets are hoping to flip the 25-year-old for both a wing player and a center. The organization has also expressed gathering draft picks. They are hopefully looking to free up his 4-year, $73 million contract. A three-team trade, however, must happen for that scenario to be in play. The team hopes to trade him to the Eastern Conference if they are to find the right package to suit their needs.<\/p>\n The Atlanta Hawks could be a possible destination for the big man. Capela might become the Hawks’ second option if they are not able to meet the price tag for Detroit Pistons<\/a> center Andre Drummond<\/a><\/strong>. The Hawks are in need of a defensive presence in the paint to compliment John Collins<\/a><\/strong> and pair up well with Trae Young<\/a><\/strong> thus the need at center. The Swiss is averaging 13.9 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game on 63 percent shooting this season.<\/p>\n As trade deadline looms on Thursday, Houston is engaged with several Eastern Conference teams — including Atlanta — on C Clint Capela, league sources tell ESPN. There are a few multi-team trade scenarios in play.<\/p>\n — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 3, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
