    I highly doubt that package gets it done for the. Clippers. I haven’t seen much of Mann but Robinson is bad and that 1st is pretty worthless

    Heavy.com..I never heard of it before but from the name one would think it is a site about some papaya diet.
    Strange that they have scoops about the NBA and not the advantages of avocados.

    Capela for RoCo is a lateral move at best, I would hope there would be more to this than just 1 role player.

    Jarrett Allen is the softest big in the league. I see Brooklyn play every game. I’d rather just keep capela than trade for him

    Throw a pick at this to make it happen. (Even though we need them to move E. Gordon in the offseason).

    They're a decent aggregator during instant news stories: shootings, weather-related tragedies, other disasters. They'll frequently have information on the principal parties in those events that regular media will omit.

    Covington for Capela would be poor. Covington + Bates-Diop + Timelord for Capela sounds a lot better. Tristan Thompson for Capela + House (Nene's salary is insufficient) would be a disaster.

    There must be something I'm missing. Beyond the idea of using "small ball" more frequently, and Fertita's terror for the luxury tax, why would the Rockets trade their starting center (Capela) for a role player (Covington)? Worse, some reports talk that Houston would also offer a first-round pick. Obviously I don't think Morey is so stupid (I don't think Fertitta is either). I wouldn't even consider a trade that involved Covington and a first-round pick for the Rockets. But I am not Daryl.

    I don't think there's any chance they trade Capela and don't get a center back. Covington would certainly be the most important player coming back and headliners get the most attention.

    The basic idea is that wing defense with length is far away our biggest problem right now. Capela has to be traded simply due to lack of tradeable options, so we want to get back a player that addresses our biggest weakness and a player to replace most of what Capela does.

    If in fact we trade Capela and only get one player back, then yes it would be very stupid to address one issue by creating another one, but I would be shocked if that happens.

    It's only fitting to the Houston Rockets that the team that eventually gets RoCo is the god damn Warriors.

    It doesn’t work in terms of salary. They would have to throw in DeAndre Jordan as well.

    Might as well get rid of Towns, and make it more interesting for the league.
