    Morey needs to quit and Harden should demand out.

    What a dumpster fire Tilman has made us.

    "Speaking of money, the Jabari Young story about the Rockets looking to shed salary has hit our friends on Clutchfans pretty hard. They so arrogantly wanted all our first-borns for Capela, which was completely ridiculous all along. Even more so now that we know the motivations for shopping Capela are to save money."

    Would've liked Bryant and Brown more but i understand that might be too much...not quite sure why Washington would trade Bryant for Capela though, i get that Clint is bigger and more proven, will probably help their defense more going forward, but still, Bryant is a good fit with the players they have and costs half the money for the next three years, he's 4 years younger...curious.

    It's what I've posted, too--hold Hartenstein out until Capela is gone.

    This works. With a future 1st going from the Wizards to the Wolves and our 2020 1st going there too.

    Dont expect to get much more from Washington.. a first and Bryant for Capella seems about market value from what I'm seeing/reading based on the tax rumors (way to go Tilman ) and Wolves get their picks. The rest is pretty much filler, depending on how you view Ish and Napier.

    It's cute that you guys think the Rockets are holding Isiah back so no one thinks about wanting him, but no, Mike D just doesn't trust him. That's the only explanation, stop making other **** up lol.

    I would love to swap John Collins for Capela. Anyone reject this trade?

    Options at the center position who rebound, block and finish like Clint?

    That Bertans and Bryant for Capela trade is something Rockets should all be over IMO

    Noel is probably the closest thing to Capela you can find now out there, assuming he's available of course. But he's smaller and not as good as Capela in pick & roll.

    Dang we are 9-1 without Clint this season including several blowouts (+13 point differential)

    Wins over
    Pacers
    Twolves (2x)
    Heat
    Hawks
    Nets
    Jazz
    Mavs
    Pelicans (1-1)

    why?

    Bryant is not as good as Capela, not even close.

    Bertans is a really good stretch 4.
    He's going to get paid like it.

    So we get 30 games with Bertans and maybe 2 playoff series and a lesser center for Capela?

    We don't want to pay Ryan Anderson 2.0.

    Remember our record with Capela, Harden and CP3?

    Now all of the sudden we don't need Clint....weird how chemistry works?

    The last minute of that video is key, if Jalen is anywhere near accurate: We're 9-1 without Capela and our "tiny ball" rotation is inexplicably working (albeit with an equally tiny sample size). Maori knows sitting pat won't get us close to the WCF, and since this looks like it's MDA's (and possibly Marley's) last year with the team, he's attempting to go all-in on small ball and hope the results disrupt other team's styles of play.

    The irony with his theater debut is not missed. We see what you did there, Dorrel.

    weird what happens when you trade one flawed superstar who fits perfectly into our system for another flawed superstar who fits into no system but one built around him and attach tons of assets.

    Will Capela be on the bench tomorrow or be told to stay home until after the trade deadline?

    What are the defensive metrics on Bertans? Is he a good defender who can slide from the 3 to the 5?
