One possible reason for the interest in Capela could be the curiosity around Dejounte Murray. The Hawks are rumored to be interested in moving the center in exchange for Murray.

“In Atlanta, frustrations over their lack of success are still growing, which leaves the Hawks’ front office vulnerable to almost any offer that comes their way. According to sources, a number of playoff-contending teams have already expressed interest in acquiring Capela. The Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, and Sacramento Kings have all been mentioned as potential suitors for
If the Sacramento Kings want to contend in the Western Conference, they might be an intriguing destination for Capela.

Dejounte Murray and Clint Capela might be traded.
Murray has the interest of both the Knicks and the Lakers, so it’s possible that both players will be traded in the same deal. This significantly alters the package from the first reports, but it is conceivable.

Concerned About Dejounte Murray and Jalen Brunson Are The Knicks
The Knicks’ only concern with Dejounte Murray’s addition is that they are unsure of how well he and Jalen Brunson will mesh together.
