    That doesn’t matter, right? We can trade out $30 million and bring in $5 million as long as the other teams can make the extra $25 million work, cap wise.

    If this is true, CC has to be hurt like missing an ACL

    Disappointed too but Bell is not horrible.

    Runs like a demon and has 38 max vert (6'8 barefoot with 7'0 wingspan).

    You guys can bookmark me, but this is a really good deal for the Rockets. Obviously would have been great to squeeze one additional asset out of Capela but that's fine.

    It's like RoCo has suddenly gotten so underrated just because you guys keep calling out that he is overrated. The offense is opening up more now and we will have more versatility on defense. Yeah, we get shorter, so what, DAntoni wasn't going to play Capela crucial minutes anyways. He was already running his small ball more often than not.

    The ****ing record speaks for itself without Capela.

    Of course they did. One has a guaranteed contract and one doesn’t.

    The Rockets GM has wanted to get Covington since before the season started.

    He has been the top target.

    Maybe Bell will fit better here when all he has to do is pick and roll. He did that well in G St. Very good athlete. Let’s see if he is flipped for something else by Thursday or we flip 2nd picks for someone. If not, we wait on the buy out market for another big.

    I think Morey and his crew had an idea how he would fit here so they got him. He is capable of guarding multiple positions.

    I feel bad for the Rockets GM that he can't do his job to the best of his ability because his owner insists on killing the team's assets for money
