    If one of them had to go to bring Carmelo Anthony here, would you rather keep? Gordon or Capela? Vote.


    Yes. Another Carmelo thread

    It depends on what the trade is and who we are getting back.

    If we get a good center, Capela could be expendable. If we get a good wing Gordon could be expendable.

    Capela is young with potential, Gordon is a solid vet on a cheap long term deal. Both are valuable, both are great pieces for our team. You want to keep both, I think Capela has more value on his own, but Gordon also fills a great role for us.

    I love Gordon, but Capela is too integral to the Rockets. He's their best interior defender and their best offensive big in the pick and roll. It's not an easy decision, but ultimately I think they'd have to let Gordon go.

    I can't believe ppl here are answering Gordon or Capela.
    Seriously? If you could keep one between Gordon Capela or Nimo who would you keep?
    BAN OP.
    He's probably a towel waver anyway.

    why would you add the choice neither if your poll asks "one has to go"?

    Gordon's salary is much more useful for trade purposes. He's the one more likely to go.

    That said, I'm going to go vomit now.

    Gordon is great at what he does.

    But we need a RimRolla next to CP3/Harden, NEED. Easy choice because of that

    If you package Ryan Anderson with Clint Capela for Carmelo and Kyle O'Quinn to me makes sense but does that sound good to New York?

    Why would we have to give up either one? We are the MF Rockets.

    If he can get Capela and keep both, I'm making my next child Daryl Morey Nimo II.
