Where will the former Rockets go? The US Records says it may leave the team. Can it reunite with Harden?

On June 11, 2025, new news came about Capela, the Hawks insider. According to a well-known American journalist Evan Sidery, he said that Capela will leave the Hawks as a free agent. At this stage of his career, he is unlikely to become a starter and will be given priority to the interest of teams that need a substitute inside.

Capela averaged 22.4 minutes per game this season and was able to score 8.9 points and 8.5 rebounds. If you are a starting inside player, this data is still relatively poor, but if you are a team's substitute inside player, this data is still acceptable. After coming to the Hawks for a few seasons, he has basically achieved a double-double per game in every season, only a slight decline this season.

For Capela, he is already 31 years old, and he has always been a player who is good at physical fitness and athletic ability. At this age, it is indeed difficult for him to return to his peak state after suffering injuries. So if there is a team that needs to be a substitute insider, Capela is definitely a more suitable team. At present, both teams in Los Angeles seem to be more suitable for him. The Lakers have excellent organizers and are also lacking in the inside position. If they can join, they may be able to change their posts for the second spring. The Clippers have their own enlightener Harden. Once again, they play with their big brother Harden, which should be very attractive.

So I don't know where Capela will choose, but if the contract is not big, any team should only make money but not lose money if they get it. At the age of 31, it is still worth a gamble.
