    Myles Turner shouldn't be available, but if there were any chance he is, you do it!

    Again, I love Capela, but would be willing to move him for the betterment of the team. But you have to have an immediate replacement to his skill-set. That means a starting 5 that can rim-run, rebound and block shots... Russ and Harden need that vertical spacing... How do you trade him, get a piece that makes you better, and replace him... Doesn't seem plausible... But I'm willing to be wrong!

    Too tall for Mike.
    And too soft. Clint has peaked.

    It’s hard to see CC being dealt to anyone but Boston. Who else needs what he provides ?

    Thomas BRYANT on the wiz has looked decent to start the year. I wouldn’t mind him and Bertans, both 6’10, but idk they are worth pulling the trigger.

    Clint is a good player but I’m not sure you could expect much back for him. He has some big holes in his game on offense.

    This lesser paid C that brings the same thing as Clint doesn’t exist on the trade market...

    I like Bryant, he's still very young, not a great defender but he's ok and can shoot 3s already, he's like a budget Towns, but i don't think they'll trade him, he's just resigned on a good contract for three years so, yeah...i feel like the Rockets might trade Capela for a 3/4 and look for a cheap center to replace him like others said (afterall it's what they would've done if Butler would've come here), but might be easier to do it in free agency, although you never know, Noel should be super available and he fits here -> then again, we could've try to add him to Westbrook trade and it didn't happen...

    I don't think you have to worry about Capala until the middle of Dec.

    Then say good bye to rim running, rim protection and easy lobs to 5 spot from Beard & Brodie.

    Huge part of offense I might add.

    That could be replaced, but not the ability to guard the exterior...

    But...Ooo LaLa...it would open up the offense to where it would be a sight to behold. And we would own the glass.

    This is why I think it's important to give Hartenstein some more playing time to really find out what we have in him. If he can at least provide 60-70% of what Capela does, trading for Love would make a lot of sense.

    Hartenstein is a borderline NBA talent...he wouldn’t even be able to bring 40% of what Capela does

    no team trying to be taken seriously as a contender is starting someone like Hartenstein

    Rockets can not defend, but it doesn’t stop y’all from advocating for the likes of Kevin Love like our issue is really offensively...Kevin Love makes no sense at all if u value improving on defense

    If CC goes to the Cavs that will be the end of his career
