    I dont have time to waste looking up posts to inform you.
    You who do nothing but critisize and make fun of others have the duty to educate yourself otherwise you are being a clown.

    Clint Capela is an elite role player. He also doesn’t fit well with the Rockets.

    Covington is an elite role player. He also fits well with the Rockets.

    Also, Luxury Tax savings fits best with the Rockets.

    My biggest concern... Tucker isn't shooting well, and no matter what happens on offense, he's still going to get beat up in the post.

    I did hear on the Zach Lowe podcast that some GMs worry about ROCO injury history/ his legs going forward.

    Other than being injured last year he has been a pretty reliable player. He has played 10 more games then Clint this year.

    Covington isn’t more injury prone than Kyrie Irving. He’s also played in 48 of the Timberwolves 49 games so far this season, and, considering the Timberwolves are terrible, that means he’s stayed reasonably healthy this year.

    Counting this season, Irving will have four seasons in his nine-year career in which he has played less than 60 games. Provided he stays on his current pace this season, Covington will have one out of six.

    Exactly, Bell has never done much of anything. He's not great offensively and average at best on defense why couldn't we have pressed for more than this guy ? Just feels like we got fleeced and Morey probably knows it but was doing what Tilman wanted. I'll be shocked if we can get anything of worth on the buyout market too many good teams out there with flexibility for available guys to choose from...

    if there was any legit concern it would have been out a long time ago. especially with Cov who had the attention of numerous teams

    He said we're not searching for a "starting" center. I don't think that disqualifies Looney, et. al.

    Yeah sadly this is true. Hopefully he locks up in a hyperbaric chamber over all star break and rests on nights against lesser teams. I legit think it's a health thing right now.
