    Lol has freaking Covington done any better? Dude's a freaking role player making 10M a year, CC is only 25 yrs old and a starting center making 16M a year. In terms of future impact CC has a better bet of contributing to helping the team win because he is younger and guess what, Rox need a center regardless.

    NBA isn't March Madness, it is a going concern and you try to compete every year. Ok he flopped in the playoffs, its up to the coaches to find out what went wrong and fix it. Covington can't even help the Sixers get past Bucks how tf is he gonna help Rox beat the Warriors?

    by your logic Anthony Davis's team didn't make playoffs, so CC is better than AD.

    You should really think about things you say before you post on this site. This isn’t Twitter. Most people here are knowledgeable. Nothing that you’re saying makes any sense whatsoever.

    Maybe CC is indeed better, AD hasnt had the best supporting cast but neither has he had the worst yet his team still didnt make the playoffs.

    Right, "knowledgeable" thats why people want to trade CC for a freaking roleplayer making 63% what he makes.

    The Rockets need All Stars at age 25 - 30, not overpaid role players.

    The Rockets must create a Huge Package for Anthony Davis.

    Do the Pelicans like Capela

    Trade for Picks, Package Capela to New Orleans

    Just about one of the dumbest trade proposals I think I've heard in relation to the Rockets.

    Works better if Dedmon is shipped to Houston instead of Len.

    There is no maybe, Capela has yet to lead a team into the playoffs, he can’t even create his own shot or shoot a jumper to save his life, also his Ft shooting is just a tad better than mediocre.

    Thibs pretty much got fired for that trade. How they didn’t take four first rounders from Houston is still beyond me. Sometimes you can do everything right but it still doesn’t work in your favor. There is no way Covington and saric could net them close to 4 first rounders

    I agree, although that could change based on the protections of the picks involved...even though yeah, no one would trade 3 future picks for two good role players.
