    This doesn’t surprise me.

    Morey trying to give him “‘market value” contract right now which is probably significantly lower than what he’s worth.

    Also, teams know to an extent that Clint isn’t worth 25m per anyways.

    Damn.

    That sucks.

    I respect him and his agent for doing this, they have pretty much created leverage and are telling Morey to bet on Capela now or possibly lose him in the future if this is true.

    No matter how you spin it’s a bad move for the Rockets.

    I think that’s good for both specially for us. Capela wants to get a bigger pay check which we can’t offer and I don’t know if we should. Capela has improve a lot but he was lost on the finals. Which means he is good against other teams but our goal is beating the warriors which we almost did. That was with Capela and Ariza not helping much. And with the help of the refs and because cp3 got injured.
    So I think we would be fine if we lost Capela but maybe we can trade him with Anderson to get something for the playoffs or n cr season. Capela will get paid though but not this year

    Not good. He’s either aiming too high or the rockets brass is being hella stingy

    Capela needs to get a consistent hook shot and be able to bar b q chicken shorter guys like Draymond Green. Think about that while signing that qualifying offer. Business is business. His real friends and family should be telling him that.

    This offseason really couldn’t be going much worse.

    Why would a move that allows the Rockets to spend more money in their best year for title contention in near future be bad? There’s nothing to spin. The less Capela makes this year the more talent the Rockets can add.

    That isn't true.

    Capela taking his qualifying offer wouldn't give us any cap space, it would just save the owner money this year and basically guarantee that Capela would leave next year.

    Run It Back seems like a lie. Seems like our free agents want to get overpaid rather than paid fairly and actually run it back.


    Only guy who really wants to run it back is Gerald Green. Signed immediately for the vet's min.

    that article states that teams have told Capela they’d offer him a max deal next summer...if that’s true, then Capela should definitely take the QO

    Play 1 more year for peanuts and then get a max deal next summer, or lock yourself into what you believe would be a subpar deal right now? Make it through this next season healthy and show some more improvement and you’re set. At worst, you could still get the same subpar deals you’re getting now unless you suffer some serious injury.

    Unless he gets hurt or has a bad year, he'd be making the right choice you are right. ​

    who the heck is this guy? Orazio? I don't believe anything until there is smth more reliable.

    It's either bs or Capela's agent really must improve his connections to leak to better journalists than this.

    I’m very worried about this. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any players that have taken the QO and then returned to that same team on a new deal, and I am not 1 of those people who think u could sign a variety of bigs with our limited funds and get 80% of what Capela gives us.

    It's very rare for sure because this sours the relationship between the player and the team and it means Capela already has laid the groundwork for a contract next year.
