Sabre is sheathed? The Rockets former player becomes a victim of the Eagles, and the darkness of the willows may cause the two teams to compete for the Los Angeles

When the NBA offseason has not officially started this year, many media have already stated that the free agent trading market this summer is likely to be the "craziest" in the past 10 years. Now it seems that this is true. The Pacers and the Thunder have not finished the finals, and the Magic have completed the transaction with the Grizzlies, and won star guard Bain with 4 first rounds 1.
This is just the beginning of the summer trading drama. In order to get good reinforcements during this offseason, many teams choose to postpone the renewal of the team's contract expired. A large number of these players will give up directly and be in a "unemployed" state. Capela of the Hawks is one of them.
During this offseason, the Hawks' first task is to get Daniels' contract renewal. The 22-year-old star averaged 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3 steals per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 49.3%. After the regular season, he won the fastest-progressive player in the league and the steal king. He was also selected as the league's best defensive team. It is obvious that if you want to keep this backcourt future star, a five-year contract of more than $150 million is essential.
And now there are two contracts of over $100 million in the team, so it is indeed a luxury to keep Capela for more than $20 million. It is highly likely that Capela will leave the Hawks as a complete free agent after the contract of $22.27 million last season.
As the 25th pick in the first round of 2014, Capela is one of the few successful drafts for the Rockets during Harden's period. When he first entered the league, Capela was trembling like a rookie by "Warcraft" Howard, with an average of only 2.7 points and 3 rebounds per game. However, just two seasons have passed, he has become a starting insider with an average of 12.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. In the Rockets' six seasons, they have also scored excellent data such as 16.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, and have also received a generous salary of $90 million in five years.
In the five seasons he played for the Hawks, he did not play as a starter, and in the 20-21 season he was awarded the league rebounding champion with averaging 14.3 rebounds per game. But now he has to accept the reality of becoming a free agent. However, for Capela, who is only 31 years old and still at the peak of his career, it is not difficult to find another job!
The Lakers are currently the most interested in Capela in the league. After they got Doncic in the middle of last season, Luca made it clear that he needed a strong inside franchise protector to partner. For this reason, the Lakers have found Mark Williams, the Hornets, but the deal was finally broken due to physical reasons.
So during the offseason, the Lakers found a new partner for Luca became the top priority. As Capela, who has been with Harden and Trae Young for many years, is not only very strong in the interior frame protection, but also very good at pick-and-roll tactics. At the same time, Capela's next salary is also very friendly to the Lakers. If nothing unexpected happens, a full middle class of $15 million can bring the "Swiss Army Knife" back out.
In addition to the Lakers, another team in Los Angeles is also one of Capela's potential next home, that is, the Los Angeles Clippers. Although the Clippers have Zubac, the starting center, he still has a certain gap in frame protection and mobility. At the same time, Harden is likely to be the helm of the backcourt of the Clippers next season. There is no doubt that he is the person who knows Capela's technical characteristics best. As a former partner, they once represented the Rockets on the Western Conference Finals stage.
So many people say that Capela will become a basic salary player like Whiteside, and even disappear from the league after becoming a free agent. Even after going to the Lakers or the Clippers, it will be the closest place to the championship in his career. Which team do you think Capela will eventually join?
