    Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report suggested that the Rockets could use Capela as a trade chip to add solid three-and-D wings like Robert Covington of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Taurean Prince of the Atlanta Hawks.

    1) Not a rumor

    2) You could make a case that letting Covington go is one of Morey's greatest mistakes

    Covington's a very good defender as well. Not sure about Prince.

    This is nothing but a random trade idea from a blogger.

    Clearly a *spitball* trade suggestion. That said.......

    Former Rockets assistant GM, Gerson Rosas is now the GM of the Wolves.

    So, unlike when Thibs was running things, Morey and Rosas at least have a good relationship. So if a trade makes sense for each of the team's trajectory, at least they would be open to talking.

    Lock it up.

    People posting blogger musings as if they're actual deals on the table. SMMFH

    At least this is more realistic than the CP trade rumors.

    Who will play at center? If Rockets can get DJ or a similar center then the trade looks good.
