    Questions:

    How serious is Capela's injury? (or injuries?)

    Is there an approximate expected date of return to play for him?

    Why are the Rockets seemingly so determined to trade him before the deadline?

    Thank you.

    And who, frankly, are beyond our reach. The guy makes close to $30,000,000. Since our owner wants to shed salary and duck below the tax, you'd have to send out even more than Love makes; and yet he still gets mentioned.

    Plantar fasciitis usually take months, some cases a full year) to really get better. I think that has to do (with some other things obviously) with the decision of trading him right now.

    I like Theis. A 6'8 center who can shoot 3s. He'll fit right in.

    If it's that bad, the return will likely be greatly diminished.

    His contract is a very friendly 2yr 10 M, Acquiring him will be very tough. Management should retain Clint since he is injured and get a better backup like O' Quinn. He has a 1.6 M cap hit on an expiring contract.

    If Marvin Williams is waived, he could be a great help for Tucker. My advise is not to go throwing picks to move Tyson or Nene. This will hurt the team.

    Some fans really need to get some fresh air. Sitting in Granny-mama's basement all day, staring at a computer screen, brain cells corroded by pizza farts.

    We'd give up Clint Capela and get Iggy in return. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

    I know that every fanbase overvalues some of their players; but my god, Celtic Fan...

    I get your point, but Iggy is purely a post season player. If a team thinks he can help them in the post season, then he might make sense. From that perspective, could the Rockets use a wing defender in the post season? Yes, they could.

    Check out Celtics Reddit rn. They’re absolutely crazy, they think Can’t Play Kanter is too valuable to give up. If it were up to them they might offer a protected second for Capela.

    I would hate to trade Capela for the remains of Iggy. I am not even a really big Covington fan - I'd like to have him, but don't think he really raises the team's ceiling. I think we've hyped him up too much in our zealousness for Morey to just do something..

    Exactly. Iggy been washed for about 2 years now. And shooting wise he makes Westbrook look like Ray Allen.
