    ballscientist1: "Capela will get max offer from every team."
    basketballholic: "No team with Capela as their starting center will ever make the finals."

    I DON'T KNOW WHICH CF EXPERT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE!!!! :confused:

    It's only a matter of time before rockets13champs and hakeem94 come on here saying that Clint is better than Dream.

    Still thinking that Rudy Gobert is the dream center for Rox. But i'm really impressed with what Clint have been doing this season.

    let's keep low key on Capela, getting him hyped up would increase the cost to resign him and also hinder his development as well, he still has a lot to improve

    Let's see how much $ he commands in the offseason and how he plays in the playoffs.

    The one with the better newsletter plan.

    I'm triple gold with bballlick. I see his insights four steps ahead of his postings.

    Kevin Bish Durant literally went to GS so his job would be easy.

    I'm telling ya'll, his agent wrote the piece. "The Hardens and Pauls of the world are not as good without this 7 foot tall center. His nickname is Backbone of the Franchise. And he's earned that nickname as a loyal member of the Rockets!"

    Capela has been dealt a really bad year to get big money. The only teams with any cap space and a need for a center (with owners willing to spend big money) are the Lakers, who will be throwing max money at PG, and a bunch of tanking teams who are probably aiming for the far younger, and far cheaper 4-5 top center prospects in the draft.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers throw 20 million at clint after signing PG and striking out on LeBron. We need to sign CP3 to a new contract before clint hits RFA. Clint should be pissed at Lou Will for deprecating the market. I project about 12-16 million per for Clint.

    Probably the same person, just playing both sides so he/she can be right some of the time. Like a broken clock can be correct twice a day.

    I watched that vid the other day, he was so small back then but also much lighter on his feet and more explosive. He doesn't jump that quickly nowadays.

    I actually considered that. The broken English is just a tad suspicious.

    It's the age old struggle of strength vs agility. That's why players who are both (Shaq, Lebron, Giannis etc) are so rare and special. Fact of the matter is that Clint would have been shoved around like a fly in heavy wind if he didn't muscle up. The trick for Capela though is to figure out how more muscle he needs for which muscles to be able to knock around in the paint without losing his edge in speed.

    Not stupid, prideful. It's the same reason shitty FT shooters don't shoot underhanded. We all have our own delusions of grandeur.
