    I like this except that Love makes $16437569 per year. Go look at his contract. Its painful to behold.

    There’s not many (any?) realistic moves DM can make that will get the fan base excited.

    So really has to either (i) do something unrealistic but because of outside factors (player demands to come to Houston, just gets obviously better of a team, etc) or (ii) trade for a solid draft pick and use it - because fans like everyone else always love the haven’t played yet optimism of a draft pick.

    I think realistically, the Rockets don’t trade anyone. Run it back one more year. Possibly bring back Daniel House or Rivers and fill the rest of the Roster with Veteran minimum guys. I wonder if D’antoni changes the system to be more like the 7 seconds or less Suns team. That’s something we haven’t seen. I think in order to win the big games we have to change our system to less ISO ball and hero ball and more of a system predicated on ball movement.

    I think this is the mostly likely "big move" outcome. I don't think we make any major moves this offseason. But if we do, I think this is as good of a prediction as any. I think we'll stay relatively pat with a few minor additions and exits. I'd like to see Rivers extended but he may be too costly. Green in MEM would be another great pick-up.

    Everyone is upset about how 2019 ended...and rightfully so. But HOU is still in good shape moving forward. We gotta help JH out, man. Have to get him the surrounding pieces he needs. West could be up for grabs now more than ever (last 5 years, at least).

    I don't understand Morey's eagerness to trade Capela. He's our best asset other than Harden, and I worry he might be dealt in some kind of desperation move.

    The real question is whether they move Harden.

    Tilman does not want Les carryovers

    Paul for Wiggins and dieng.
    Deal Paul before June 30. Teams have cap rooms.

    A scenario I would personally love is Capela and Nene for Kent Bazemore and the 8th pick IF De'Andre Hunter fell that far. DraftExpress Jonathan Givony has him sliding to #7 now with the Pelicans at 4.

    Our bad contract CP3
    For
    Their bad contract Wiggins + playable filler

    Or they keep him and his frustrating ways. I do think Harden and coaching staff could get more out of him than he had shown yet in his career.

    Clutch,

    And anyone else,

    Serious question: if we make such a move, we’d be pretty wing-heavy. D’Antoni’s wet dream, to be sure, but we’d be even smaller in the front court than before. How do we resolve that issue?

    There's a random trade thread, dude.

    Just kidding. I don't know why Atlanta would do this trade. To me, Capela is useful for a contender who needs a vertical threat / transition threat role player, not a rebuilding team.

    You answered your own question.

    Our only widely valuable assets are Harden, Tucker, Gordon, Capela.

    You have to ask which one you'd let go first, to start dominos falling towards more moves. Most will say Capela.
