Atlanta Hawks star guard Trae Young was up late to witness the latest Woj Bomb that involved his team.

Young hoped that fans and his fellow players weren't dozing off as NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski dropped the biggest trade deal so far involving four teams: the Hawks, Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets.

The deals were headlined by Clint Capela who went to the Hawks and Robert Covington who went to the Rockets.

Woj, meanwhile, thanked Young for taking the time and effort to stay up late.

The Hawks receive two big men in the deal: Capela and Nene. At face value, Atlanta seems to be the winners of the trade, as they got two much-needed veterans to join their young core of Trae Young, John Collins, De'Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish.

Over the past few seasons, the Swiss big man has established himself as one of the finest centers in the league. He was the perfect complement to James Harden's playstyle. Given Harden's ability to collapse defenses, Capela's marching orders involved camping near the sideline and anticipate the alley-oop.

Apart from jacking up triples any chance they got, the Harden-Capela pick-and-roll was one of the staples of the Rockets' offense.

Sadly, the partnership had to be cut short. However, for the Hawks, this will provide Young with better opportunities to stack his assists.

Like Harden, Young has the ability to make defenses look silly through his passing and deadly teardrop shot. Not to mention his 3-point stroke which has gotten better and better with each game. With this trade in the books, a Young-Capela duo may be on the rise in Atlanta.
