    I think we saw against NO why HOU should really consider trading Capela for DJ. Do I like Capela? Yes, I love Capelas game BUT he can’t stay on the floor for longer than 27 minutes, I feel like he worries more about offense than defense, he refuses to block shots, gets out muscled, and refuses
    I agree, however, I’m not the one talking about him taking the MLE to play here, that’s ridiculous. If DJ is going to take a paycut to play here it will be around 15-17 mill a year versus the 25+ mill he will be eligible for. And even for that money I would take him over Capela who’s game I love but is staring to become annoying how he can’t stay on the court for longer than 27 minutes.

    I think we need DJ now.

    We've already seen how injuries can derail your team, nothing is guaranteed. Harden already got hurt, CP3 has been out, Ariza now.

    We need to make at run at it this year

    i have seen him lots, he is a above the rim high dunker, but he doesn't bust arms like a Shaq use to when he dunked

    Jordan is highly over rated on here it seems

    So your standard for aggressive dunker is Shaq, who was a 300 pound behemoth and one of the greatest centers to grace the court? That's just so... stupid. By the way, busting arms doesn't make you an aggressive dunker, just a powerful one. Aggressive dunker is someone who attempts to dunk every chance they can get.

    Capela is 6th in blocks.......averaging 28 minutes a game in January. He is only 23 years old and people are still crying about his strength. His time on the court is not his choice by the way, D'Antoni likes to mix it up with Nene as well.

    In games without Nene, Capela played
    vs Dallas 33 minutes
    vs LAC 28 minutes
    vs Pho 36 minutes
    vs Portland 24 minutes(only because of foul trouble)
    vs Chicago 34 minutes
    vs Detroit 28 minutes
    vs Golden State 28 minutes

    so it depends on whether Nene plays or not as to whether he gets big minutes or not. Don't get why people blame him, when it is the coaches choice how many minutes a guy gets

    And even if they traded for Jordan, he isn't playing the same amount of minutes in Houston that he is playing in LAC

    De Andre Jordan isn't that good, massively over rated defender and doesn't have the offensive skills Capela has. Capela can score off the dribble, Jordan can't

    And lastly, Capela isn't going to be traded. So i don't see any point talking about it anymore

    NO's twin tower gave us so much trouble but after Cousins went down, they would probably miss the playoff let alone beating us..Capela is fine vs other teams.

    My concern is OKC in the semis. Adams would batter CC, like he usually does. We had to rely on Nene for heavy minutes in last year's series with them, and there's no guarantee we'll be able to do that again. DJ limits the 2nd and 3rd opportunities Adams creates on the offensive glass and offers stronger rim protection on Russ/PG drives.
