    I wish I could give you an answer, but I can’t. Covington is a boring player who pretty much sucks.

    We should get Atlanta power and small forward instead. Using caplea to change with wolves is a tweak.

    Rockets did find Robert Covington though.

    And RoCo's salary is no where as bad as Parsons, where the quote originated.

    Cost to re-acquire RoCo is yet to be determined.

    There is no way Rockets get 2 other teams to trade with them. Has never happened.

    9/11 is a tribute for me that you have no idea about, not a joke.

    What do you mean " your team"? Is this not "our team"? "AMERICAS TEAM"?

    I’m not buying any of this happening, won’t shock me if they ship Clint off for Thompson and a scrub or two and then feed us the bullshit story “we were so close to making a blockbuster deal” crap again, Morey has been neutered by this cheap ass conman carnival barker Tilman.... James and Russ are gonna be looking to move on next year I’d be willing to bet they truly are simply looking to move Clint and get little in turn that will help the team contend for a championship (which is what I’m expecting now). Hate this ******* owner !!!

    I find it hilarious that I've seen so many people who don't want Covington because we let him go previously. It's like once you misjudge a player and let him go, that player should never be allowed back on the team.

    Letting Covington go in 2014 was a bad decision, it has no impact on a choice made in 2020.

    Good it didn’t happen, Morey shouldn’t help out GS in any shape or form.

    its not that, its letting clint go to get him back, could easily turn out to be an even worse decision.

    Question begs why Timberpups are so infatuated with getting Russell.

    I mean he is probably better than Wiggins but he isn't going to be great or close to it.

    His Win Share depends on the overall team.

    Because KAT wants DLO and the Wolves want KAT to be happy.

    Lelz. KAT is also not getting it done, you need someone cleverer than that.

    Feels like a Karl Malone without the Stockton.

    Towns should just ride someone else's coattails.

    (I stand corrected.lel)

    Capela for Roco only is a terrible trade for us. Might as well blow up the team this summer if we're getting that desperate.

    Capela for just Covington is definitely not the move

    also, Morey is on something potent if he thought BK would ever agree to that nonsense

    Will the Rockets strike out yet again?

    The Clippers are among the teams pursuing Timberwolves forward Robert Covington, Sean Deveney of Heavy.com reports. A package of their first-round pick this year, forward Maurice Harkless, and a young player such as Jerome Robinson or Terance Mann could be enough to secure Covington, Deveney continues.

    (Shams) The Rockets, Bucks and Mavericks are among the suitors for Covington, with Houston showing “a lot of interest.”

    So while the Clippers have Mo Harkless $11M expiring, Mavs have Courtney Lee $12M expiring, Bucks have Ilyasova's $7M deal (next year $7M non-guaranteed) and Sixers have some smaller salaries (Zhaire Smith $3M, Mike Scott $4.7M), ... the Rockets will be "forced" to trade their starting center.

    Thanks Tilly.
