    My boy Capela is delusional. He's not worth 100$ million. The only players who are worth that money are the ones who are on Kareem Abdul jabbar's level, Shaq's level, Hakeem's level, MJ's level, Lebron's level, Kobe's level, and Steph Curry. I hate these overpaid athletes in today's NBA.

    Awww, man. That was your @rockHEAD moment, when he asked Hakeem about his free agency situation....with 10x star-struck anxiety, and he got the answer. :)

    We couldn't play Capela in crunch time because he couldn't hit his free throws. They did hack a capela and trading 1s for 3's was a bad trade. Outside of that he was very good against GSW. Great Lob threat. Great Hands. Not worth 20 mil per year. 12 to 16 mil a year would be my range. But the big money guys have to be your closers and not bench guys. If you pay Harden 40 and CP3 40, the rest has to be closers.

    It's a shame Clint is suffering from Irritable B.J. Armstrong syndrome.

    He should look at D-mo and see if he thinks he got wise counsel.

    The only way holic will ever like capela is if we win a ring with him otherwise he gonna bring up every single bad thing about capela no matter how small just to sht on him.

    "We not gonna make it into playoffs with capela as starter." = this statement alone shows u how much he hates da dude.

    I admire capela and his transformation over the course of his young career. He might over value himself, but who hasn't in their lifetime? All I know is don't bother arguing with holic about capela, the man will change the bar of judging capela all the time. Oh he made it into playoffs not gonna beat "this team" = he sucks, trade him.

    He was drinking with Luc and another dude at Hay Merchant yesterday. It looked like Clint picked up the tab which leads me to believe the contract is agreed upon but not signed. Either that or Luc is really cheap. That's my story and i'm sticking to it.

    :(

    Oh dear God.

    Now that you mention Mbah a Moute... The photo I posted on the last page? I'm pretty sure that Capela got Luc to actually take the photo with my phone. I was so fixated on Capela that I didn't recognise him in street clothes, for whatever reason.

    I'm sure they had a good laugh at me over that. How embarasing.

    So I guess I can kinda confirm that Capela was hanging with someone who looked a whole lot like Luc Mbah a Moute yesterday.

    Why would you want a picture of some dude who played a half-season for us?

    If Capela signs the QO, it will be very problematic. He will sign it grudgingly but might become a team cancer in this coming season because of it. And he will definitely look to sign elsewhere when he is a FA in 2019.

    Hakeem wished he got a 5 year 85 million dollar contract from Houston. More like 6 years 34 million and 3 times the player as Clint.

    Lol. Luc was a lot less recognizable than Clint. Don't beat yourself up about it.

    The thing that got me to spot them was how much French they were speaking -- both of them being from French speaking countries. I wonder what they were talking about???
