Deal done: Rockets trade Capela for Covington in 4-team deal

lmfaoooo a course

 

Calm the **** down!

 

If you structure it as 2 trades, you risk any player in the 2nd trade failing their physical and calling that part of the trade off. Then you're stuck with a Clint Capela for Evan Turner swap.

The expansion stuff fell apart, but it was worth a shot.

 

I’ll believe it when I see it if it’s “structured properly”. I expect Tilman to make the financially best at strategically worst decision at all times.

 

it's in his best interest to have the TPE. It can come in handy if (lmfao you know it's when ) he wants to save some money down the line and create more TPEs when he dumps Eric in the offseason.

 

So it's now a done deal haha

 

Guys look at the bright side. Covington can play tomorrow.

 

Can you tell us who were Morey's targets?

 

Can’t be overstated how disastrous Tilman will be for this team. He is going to kill this franchise.

 

Therefore, best enjoy the remaining years of our competitive team because once it's over, it's going to be mediocrity for a very very long time.

 

He probably did it already.

 

You’re naive to think that people on here aren’t that naive.

What thread am I in? Are we still closing in?

 

You were right. It wasn't two trades. We ended up with a $3.6m TPE for the Capela/Covington swap.

 

Gary Harris went 0-13 tonight against the Jazz.

This trade news got to him lmao

 

MDA: Ummmmmmm no too tall.

 

Is there a reason why the Rockets did not take back any salary or expand the trade? They had at least 12mill to play with. Am I missing something? Or is this due to LTS.

 

ch44, man I hope you are right. I love the Covington addition, but it would be more impactful to me if there was a serviceable backup center with size that the team could throw a different option out there.

I mean, what else can they do now? 3.6M TPE? Buy Outs?

 

Philly has to cut 2 players. You think Rockets would try to get Kyle O'Quinn from Philly via TPE?

 

If Tucker is the starting center, then who is going to play inside on defense? Covington is actually the tallest starter. But we need him on the perimeter. Harden, maybe? How are they going to guard a low post scorer like AD?

 

Kyle would be good off the bench
