Deal done: Rockets trade Capela for Covington in 4-team deal

True but who on our team is destroying it on the 3 pt line ? BMac is our best I believe and he is streaky, House and Rivers have been solid the last few games but again are inconsistent, and Harden and Gordon it's feast or famine with them when they go into their slumps, EGo was like 0-12 tonight for gods sakes... seems we want to play this style of ball that we just don't have the very best shooters to actually play it. Remember 0-27 happened with a considerably better squad once before

BTW I'm not complaining about the trade especially since it appears there should be another player or two in the works just trying to rationalize it i suppose

 

You're smart and are basketball savvy.

 

Let's hope that Robert can bring some much needed shooting. EG should get better now, that he doesn't have to play at the 3 spot.

 

Thad Young
Josh Jackson
John Henson
Stanley Johnson

Some interesting options.

 

Traded away long time ago for luxury tax savings.

 

It's alive and well Don. We aren't finished yet

 

Bell is dunker.

 

Thanks man, but I'm not on many of you guys level as far as understanding the financial dynamics of player movement. Just appreciated that people didn't hammer me for being stupid about that kind of stuff and wanted to give props !

 

you would still get him, we need to add as much depth as we can

 

Much respect and love for veterans Nene and Gerald Green. They gave everything that they could for the Houston Rockets. I will miss them.

 

True hes a natural 2 but man he can be either out of this world on or hot stank like tonight (not counting his drives of course)

 

I'm not good at it too. I use the ESPN NBA trade machine.

 

I wanted RoCo but my trades were not even close. Like everyone else I expected more.

@treyk3 was probably the closest, he mentioned Bell the most.

Rockets are not finished wheeling and dealing so will discuss more when that happens. Still believe another big, 3-D wing and perhaps a shooter are on horizon.

I am optimistic we got better.

 

I’m under the believe that Morey can only sell Tilman on spending the money into the Tax for a perfect fit. Like if lauri markkanen was available.

Other than that I think there are a lot of decent options under the 5.8 range.

 

Unfortunately, yes. I think injuries have slowed him down, despite his inconsistencies.

 

That' what concerns me, we make this move, then there is room available to improve and or add solid depth and Tilman balks because he doesn't want to add salary for tax purposes ... he's been known to do that before I think lol

 

Late to the Party, likely not a party.

 

Bell was Defensive beast in college. He is about the same height as Capella and has hops. Give the guy some weight training and time with Dream and the guy could turn out to be another Clint. He was drafted in 2017 I think. So he's still young.

 

only a few of us Insomniacs, West Coasters or far Easters here now... It's not a funeral march but... not sure its a party (to some it was though)
