    I mean Current Dwight, not Orlando Dwight. And I'm pretty sure it was Harden that carried the Rockets to the WCF and Josh Smith

    Jerry West was just an advisor to Warriors, he did not have much say about their basketball operation. That leads to his leaving to Clippers. There was a report a few weeks ago that talked about his role in Warriors.

    He built the Warriors dynasty.

    Owner wanted to trade Draymond and Klay for Love. West said I will quit if you do it. Owner listened to West.
    Just think, if not for West, TWOLVES would have Klay and Draymond!!!!

    West told GM to draft Draymond

    West told GM to draft Klay

    KD said he was sold as soon as West called him

    West told GM and Owner to buy a 2nd round pick for McCaw.

    For capella and scraps.... Yes... if we get deandre catching those oops watch out below! He is a big mofo and we have a very limited window to win right now with Harden. That guy is a guaranteed dunk when there is a lob.

    If les is willing to pay then...

    C deandre/nene
    Pf paul george
    Sf hayward
    Sg harden
    Pg chris paul

    Make it happen morey!

    It just means if the Rockets are going to give any % to try for Jordan.

    As of yesterday, they were 100% trying to get Paul George. They might be 200% trying to get Jordan today - it's quite possible there are some % unused from previous unsplashes, future % to be added on to the pile, and some old sleeves lying around.

    You never know, but I do know things are definitely heating up. Developing....

    If you argue at the same age, fine. But i think there's zero chance Clint becomes a guy who can average 12ppg/70% 14rpg and 2bpg in a 4 season stretch.

    Oh, and Clint will get paid after next season.

    I just looked up the stats.

    23 years old Clint versus 29 years old DJ

    23 years old per 48 minutes. 25 points, 2.5 blocks, 16 rebounds

    29 years old per 48 minutes. 19 points, 2.5 blocks, 19 rebounds.


    Clint is way better than DJ at 23 and per 48 minutes, better than DJ

    DeAndre is also much bigger and stronger and more athletic and from Houston. I'd take him in a heartbeat over Clint who will command a big pay day after next year anyway.

    Clint can't stay on the floor long enough due to his high foul rate to produce what DeAndre produces.

    BREAKING NEWS.... Rockets are 100% interested him but they dont want to cripple their cap space so they can pay Harden 100 million for another 1 year extension.


    Why would Harden take a paycut when he really wants to win championship. Right Melo?

    I'm a huge fan of Capela.

    However, if we strike out on big targets, and we could upgrade our C/PF from Capela/Anderson to Deandre/Gallinari, I would do it. Not a chance in hell I would extend him when his contract is up though. Unless he is willing to take a slight paycut and a declining salary, which is highly unlikely.

    Not interested. Capela does most of the same things Jordan does at a fraction of the cost(for now anyway). And he's only 23 and could still improve his game even more. Look at how much better his free throw shooting has gotten. Hell, he's better than DeAndre at the line already.

    The Rockets need to focus on other positions. They're covered at center if they can resign Nene.

    $20M for a guy who has to be removed from the game in the 4th qtr due to FT shooting liability

    Clint is cheaper, and close to the same impact on the game. The other piece is he is younger and already has chemistry with harden and dantoni.

    Yes he will be a RFA soon, but we can match.
