    I knee-jerked "please no!", but Thompson is a good-sized, decently skilled big that can guard a few positions and averages a double-double (33% from 3). I think if he's one of the replacement pieces for Capela, assuming a good wing comes too, I could see him not being bad. Obviously not nearly as good as Clint. But he'd better not be our starting 5...

    Not until the end of his contract, and his team is out of the playoffs, the point I was making is that he can't come HERE because no one in China would want him back if he did.

    The Rockets brand is toxic in China right now.

    Isn't TT just a worse version of Capela?

    I think China has bigger concerns than Twitter posts.

    Pretty much. He's not a terrible player if he were coming with Covington, but straight up for Capela (which given his salary it would most likely be) no question makes us a worse team.

    It would be el cheapo's magnum opus to shedding salary by simply giving Capela away to get out from his contract.

    icymi: The CBA has suspended play due to Wuhan Virus, and released all foreign players to seek play in other leagues. DMo has been specifically mentioned in reports.
