In a previous tripartite transaction, Kristaps Porzingis was sent to the Atlanta Hawks by the Boston Celtics. Afterwards, NBA salary expert Yossi Gozlan updated his social media account, and he also talked about the future of Hawks' inside veteran Clint Capela on the team.

Gozlan, he said: The deal will have a huge impact on the center market this summer. Capela is not optimistic about returning to the Hawks, and now he has no hope of returning to the team. After completing this deal, the Celtics now need a center. The current total salary of the Celtics is below the second rich line. They are very close to signing Al Horford or Luke Kornet without reaching the second rich line. Previously, according to the news from Forbes sports reporter Evan Sidery, Capela's contract expires this summer, and he will likely leave the team as a free agent, and the Hawks will not leave him. The completion of this deal further confirms that Capela's future will not be in the Eagles.

In the NBA regular season this season, Capela played a total of 55 games in 82 games, with injuries affecting a total of 55 games, of which 41 games were started. His average playing time reached 21.4 minutes, with an average of 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 55.9% and a free throw percentage of 53.6%. Capelazi has been unable to play due to injury since he finished his game against the Philadelphia 76ers on March 10, and he missed the team's play-off stage.

Capela's condition has declined significantly this season, his scoring ability has further declined, and his performance in protecting the basket is not as good as before. Not only that, injuries also had a significant impact on Capela's condition. Overall, Capela's form is worrying, and he has also lost the starting position since the middle of the season. However, Capela will definitely become the focus of the center position in the free market this summer. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if his condition declines, his role in some aspects is still very obvious. Some teams that need centers, including the Los Angeles Lakers, are also focusing on Capela's dynamics. Therefore, Capela's departure from the Eagles may not be a bad thing. If he has lost his starting position, joining other teams may be a good thing to continue his career.
