In a wild four-team trade, the Atlanta Hawks have acquired Houston Rockets big man Clint Capela, taking on Nene at this same time. The Rockets received Robert Covington in exchange. A name they’re hoping will aid their Western Conference playoff run.
The other two teams in the trade, the Nuggets and Wolves, chipped in various pieces.
Jordan Bell is also being sent to Houston as part of this trade. Many believe Bell will fill the team’s void at center. The Rockets’ now lack inside presence.
ESPN Sources: 4-team trade agreement: Houston: Robert Covington; Atlanta: Clint Capela and Nene; Minnesota: Malik Beasley, Juancho Hernangomez, Evan Turner, ATL 1st round pick via Nets; Denver: Gerald Green, Houston FRP.

The Denver Nuggets add G Shabazz Napier and F Noah Vonleh to their bench. The NBA Trade Deadline isn’t here yet, but this likely will be the most complicated deal we’ll see.
More players in the deal: Denver's Jarred Vanderbilt is on his way to Minnesota, league sources tell ESPN. Jordan Bell to Houston.
