    IIRC Capela kind of forced his way onto the team that first year. He worked hard and made it pay off. Couldn't be happier for him.

    You'll have to refresh my memory on Clint forcing his way onto a team.

    IIRC, he played on the Vipers for a couple years and slowly worked his way up.

    IB4 sources say that Morey doesn’t actually want Clint and plans to deal him at the deadline

    he means that Capela didn't want to be an overseas stash and wanted to join the Rockets straight away

    We wanted to stash him overseas, so he wouldn’t count against the cap or a roster spot. But he was adamant on coming to the states to be part of the roster.

    Durable player, still improving and years away from his prime. Glad we locked him up

    Morey made making 500 FTs daily part of the deal. Genius. Hopefully he can get to where it only takes him 650 attempts.

    How much difference an off-season makes... any semi-normal cap situation and Capela is a max player.

    Contract Ryan Anderson got: 4-year, $80-mill
    Capela: 5-year, $90-mill

    Craziness.
