Fantasy Impact:
Capela was traded by Houston to Atlanta, along with Nene, late on Tuesday night in a move that will send ripples throughout the league. He will join a young Hawks team, brimming with upside, that has yet to establish itself amongst the East's contenders. Though he will no longer benefit from playing with the All-NBA talent of James Harden and Russell Westbrook, he should immediately slot into the starting lineup and establish himself as a force in the paint. Capela's value should take a minimal hit, if only for a brief moment, as he adjusts to a new environment.
