    Shump would be such a valuable trade asset right now. After he wasn't signed, I knew this organization was doomed. He does not prioritize winning at all.

    The lack of quality of Centers will make the Rockets not trade Capela.

    Aaron Gordon and Cam Reddish is a dream scenario.

    Aaron Gordon can be a stretch Center, muscular like Tucker, young and fast, dunker.

    Cam Reddish can be a potential Star, The Rockets need a Future Star after Westbrook, Harden.

    This is why no one takes you seriously. LOL.

    Danuel House - 6'6 w/6'8 wingspan
    Robert Covington - 6'7 w/7'2 wingspan

    RoCo is an elite defender, there is no comparison between two in this regard. Better rim protector, better steals and deflections, better man defender, better switch defender, better perimeter defender, better post defender. 2018 1st Team All NBA Defense.

    I’m sure you would considering you once said Faried was a combination of Pascal Siakam and Montrezl Harrell. Please bless us with more of your astute basketball knowledge.

    If the Wolves want two 1st rounders we aren't getting Collins, most likely Len, i imagine the Hawks would send the Nets 1st rounder to Minnie, like:

    ATL IN: Capela

    HOU IN: Covington, Len

    MIN IN: Parker, Rockets 1st rounder, Nets 1st rounder


    Not a fan of the trade if this is what we'll come out with.

    Holy crap its f'ing happening!!

    Rockets need to come away with Covington, either Collins/Reddish and either Okogie/Bates-Diop.

    Capela and 2 FRP. Let's go!!

    Thats why I added trading Shumpert with his added salary which was about cheapskate Tillman. Either way I would rather have not done the Westbrook trade because it is highly likely we could have just kept Clint, and could have used the assets for upgrades.....ohh yea LOL there is also Nene we can use with picks.

    Wed be as good as we are right now with Cp.

    I agree. I didn’t mind the Westbrook trade but Morey should have been allowed to hold out for a better package from OKC.

    I will only accept Mo Bamba if we play his song after every bucket.

    Wondering how much of this is just smoke vs substance .... seems like so much speculation going on and that not normally a Moreys was style unless of course he is looking to wind the market for Clint up and try to inflate CCs value hmm

    I’m gonna be pissed if we trade Capela and only end up with Covington. The only way you give up picks is if you trade them House and a scrub. Covington is an upgrade over House but he really doesn’t move the needle much, and he’s definitely not worth TWO picks. Jesus, if Morey gives up 2 1st round picks he should be fired. Now, when you start talking about players like Aaron Gordon John Collins, with maybe perhaps Len, then you have a good deal. Collins, in my option, is a stud and can jump out of the gym so he’s the perfect fit.

    It's how MDA can fulfill his dream of playing Tucker at center full-time.
