The Timberwolves, Hawks and Rockets are involved in serious talks for a deal that would send Robert Covington to the Rockets, Clint Capela to the Hawks and Evan Turner and draft compensation to Minnesota, according to Shams Charania.
There’s also a potential for a fourth team to be involved if a deal goes down, but thus far these are just talks. Capela would likely thrive in Atlanta, while Covington may struggle for touches on a team that includes James Harden and Russell Westbrook, while he could also cool off a streaking Danuel House in Houston. Covington doesn’t need a ton of shots to offer value though, as most of it comes from his steals, blocks and threes. Stay tuned.
