ANALYSIS: Capela will be taken care of through the 2025 season with the new deal. Trae Young will have his lob partner and rim protector around for the forseeable future in "The A." The Hawks big man was an imposing force on the floor last season, averaging 15.2 points, 14.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. Between Young, John Collins and now Capela here for the long-term, Atlanta's core is stabilized and seemingly set to play together for a while.
