    Seriously I would love to have him on our team. Although I do not see how we can trade 2 frp.

    Where are the Sixers going to play Covington? Or better, where are they going to play Horford or Harris? Off the bench while making 30M per season? Lol Brand...and he laughed about the Chris Paul contract.

    Actually it wouldn't be terrible in a 3way deal.


    Capela to Celtics

    Celtics 2020 & 2022 1st (top 18 protected) + salar fillers to Timberwolves

    Thiess, Covington to Rockets

    My thoughts exactly no way sixers have room for him.

    Maybe they'll actually trade Horford or Harris, i don't know who's going to take them with those contracts though...maybe if they throw in a pick.

    Only idiots start bidding at a low price. Gerson knows what he is doing. Ultimate goal squeeze an FRP and maybe an SRP for Covington.

    If we are talking to eastern conference teams about Clint but interested in RoCo “again” then maybe a blockbuster and I’m just throwing things out there but maybe

    Rockets
    RoCo + Looney

    Warriors

    Wolves

    Great news IMO!!

    MIN: 2 FRP, 6'5 Tucker (6'11 wing), 6'6 House (6'8 wing), Nene
    HOU: 6'7 Covington (7'2 wing), 6'8 Bates-Diop (7'4 wing), Okogie (only 6'3 but wingspan 7'0 which is longer than PJ and especially House)

    Keep Clint or save him for another bigger trade.

    Win F'ing Win!!

    Hey, remember when we waived this guy? When was the last time a team waived a player and then gave up two first round picks to bring him back?

    Two firsts for Covington is ridiculous. That is the what Cavs want for Love, although Covington isn't as overpaid. Respectfully, I don't understand people here going crazy for him. I can't remember the last time I looked at his box score and thought he put up two good games in a row. Capela is among the league leaders in rebounds and had like 8 consecutive 20 rebound games this season.

    Even if Covington is as good as people think he is, I still feel he won't really shine watching Russ and James do everything. At least Capela gets 5 or 6 dunks/layups off their drives. If the Rockets are going to trade their last 2 picks, they need someone that will put us over the top. I don't feel that is Covington. I really think replacing PJ st this point is more important than replacing House. RoCo can play 4, but will get beat up in the playoffs if he's replacing PJ.

    Don't forget the guy we waived, then paid $29 Million to come back, then traded a first rounder to get rid of.

    Smoking Heavy DOPE! Minny needs to GTFO.

    Also, he had him......and didn't believe in him. I knew we were making a mistake. I just knew it. Now we have to pay for what was already ours.
