Trading for Clint Capela would also be a viable option for the Washington Wizards.

This would be a similar idea to trading for Poeltl. Trading for a great defensive center like Clint Capela would allow Porzingis to play power forward full-time. The Wizards can lean into their length and physicality that brought them success the past couple of weeks through offensive rebounding and rim protection. There are very few centers in the league that are better than those things than Capela.

The Wizards also manage to move on from Will Barton who has struggled in a ball handler role with the Wizards and may see more success playing off of a player like Trae Young. His shooting and defense could be huge for the Hawks

The same story with Corey Kispert, the Hawks get another catch-and-shoot sharpshooter they desperately need. This would really open up their offense for Young and Dejounte Murray. They also open up a starting spot for their young and talented center Onyeka Okongwu. This is easily a great trade for both teams.
