    Rockets should have at least tried. They still need a center.

    There is a thing called a salary cap. We can’t trade for Drummond unless we gave up Russ or Harden. Cmon man use your brain.

    I keep telling everyone the market value for traditional big men with 0 range just isnt that high anymore.

    Damn if only we could have gotten Covington in exchange for Capela while also getting Drummond for Brandon Knight and a second rounder...

    oh well, too bad we sold that knight contract for uh...nothing

    The likes of Drummond and Capela who are garbage man C's arent worth much in today's NBA. However there are plenty bigs that hold value, because they learned to adapt and have multiple skills that are needed in today's NBA.

    Look at Bam. Great young C and albeit his skill set would look similar to Capela's and Drummond's his an amazing passer (not to mention best defender of the 3). And i ain't gonna talk about ones like Embiid, Jokic, KAT, Sabonis, Turner, Vuicevic, Ibaka, Valanciunas, Gasol. These guys can either or/and shoot, pass, post up, defend. The days where a center could just be a rim runner and be of much value are long gone. You need more than that.
