Rumor has it that ATL has been wanting to make Okongwu their starting center for a good minute now. Capela has been in the way of that.
Some tweets regarding it:

And many more. Capela had a down year for the Hawks and they preferred to run with Okongwu anyways. Bogi has shown in the past that he can distribute the ball in spot minutes. I'd qualify him as a solid option to replace Brunson.
Capela is the perfect big in theory for Wood to play off of and also has a salary that isn't a 40 mil balloon that we'd feel bad about if we had to bench should things go awry.
Only trouble is what does the Mavs have that ATL would want. Both Bogi+Capela's trade value isn't very high. Many Hawks fans want the team to get rid of them. I'd say they view them the same way we view Powell and THJ, and for roughly the same reasons.
Funnily enough THJ+Powell is the exact dollar amount to get those two guys too.
