As the NBA trade deadline looms, some teams wasted no time making deals. The Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks, and Minnesota Timberwolves conducted a four-team trade that included 12 different players. The trade was highlighted by the Rockets sending Clint Capela to the Hawks and receiving Robert Covington from the Wolves. SI’s Robin Lundberg looks at how the trade directly affects the Rockets, as the loss of Capela will force them to play a small-ball lineup, something that coach Mike D’Antoni believes is the winning formula for his team.
