Ibaka would be nice on this team if he didnt fall in love with the 3. The asking price will be thru the roof though with them trading olafipo to get him.
Put it this way.... if there was 1 guy on our starting unit that we could afford to lose for a few weeks and still find a way to win games it would be Capela. At least it wasn't Harden, Gordon or Ariza
I don't know man. Have you seen Nene this season? I mean...in reality the Rockets can't afford to lose any of these guys, but the drop-off from Capela to Nene is going to be STEEP.
That is a good point. Capela only plays 25 minutes per game, by far the least minutes among starters. The Rockets just need to find a way to make up for those 25 minutes, and increasing Dekker and Harrell's minutes should easily allow for that to happen. The question is whether Harrell could do the heavy lifting because in addition to eating up Capela's minutes, he will have to eat up some of Nene's minutes as well.
shock... the kid is a major part of our succes btw Noel kid is available Come on Morey punch on it...
I think Ariza and Beverley are more valuable to the Rockets winning and playing defense than Capela. Perhaps Dekker could sub into the starting lineup for Ariza but it would be close.
You know he's still available for vet min . Maybe harden can call him and promise some endorsements/ fat booty b****es.
People need to take a step back a little bit. There is no disguising the fact that this is not good news but I am confident we can overcome it. There are a few players we could get via trade now that would be a great stop gap until Capela is healthy. He has been really good this year and has improved significantly but this news isn't going to cost us bigly.
