I agree, Capela could replace Dwight (if Durant is available) I agree, let Dwight walk if he demands $30mm. If a redraft of 2014, Capela would be in the lottery. Maybe top 5. He can play low and not afraid to mix it up with the other centers If Capela continues to develop at this rate and Dwight shows more injuries, the ball will be in our court next off season if Dwight demands $30MM a year. Just let him walk and go get Durant with the absolute max or a stud PF Lawson Harden Ariza Durant Capela[/QUOTE]
I think harden really enjoys the pick and roll with Capela Have both Capela and Howard on the floor would leave so many opportunities for James on the pick and roll because if they ease up on Dwight just a little he can score to, almost like pick your poison Morey is stacking a dynasty. While Dwight begins to sail off into the sunset Capela will be hitting his prime. I would love to see that walker kid at the 4 and Capela on the court together, feel like no one could get a board and the fast break would be lethal
While everyone was squawking about reeling in Dwight, Morey quietly assembled the best group of young bigs in the league.
people focus so much on weight. today's NBA is so different from years past. i hope capela adds MAYBE 10 more lbs. I wouldn't sacrifice weight for his ELITE speed and quickness. I mean comon people, he stayed with STEPH CURRY one-on-one in the playoffs...
You might be a Moridiot if ..... Seriously though if we just would have hired some of the geniuses that post here we would have not 1, not 2, not 3 but most likely all of the championships ever.
I don't know who focuses on weight now, but Capella was skinny as hell last year and got abused down low. He do need to add some bulk. He's 240lbs now. I think he was 220lbs last year. Maybe another 10 lbs. Mutombo is built somewhat like him just longer. Mutombo was only 260lbs I think.
Haha... still can't believe that after all the moves Morey has pulled to improve this team that anyone would be dumb enough to recognize that Les struck gold when he hired him. We are blessed as fans to have a GM like him as opposed to **** Smith.
Mt Mutombo got his BS, MS, and PhD in the states at HoyaParanoiaU. Very big difference to the 'early years'.
Don't worry, there's still some subtly saying he doesn't know what he's doing even after the WCF and getting Lawson this offseason.
Is he not being? He gets so low on the perimeter D and gets those hands working. Or do you mean you want him to trash talk all game long
Oden before he got seriously hurt 6 years ago was pretty damn good. He had not only the height but the girth and timing to dominate in the post the way Shaq used to almost. I don't think Capela reached 2008-09 level Oden prior to devastating injury quite yet. Capela is about half of rookie Akeem Olajuwon at the moment.
Good point, that kind of speed to stay with a guard on the perimeter as a center is something I think only Dream, Admiral, and Kevin Garnett could do regularly.
