    Giles is the type of guy that I could see them trading for.

    Can he play some PF too? Gotta find a way to cut some of PJ's minutes.

    Front Office failing as usual: let's just leak out that Tilman is an awful cheap owner. We don't take any blame eventhough he's a successful billionaire, has turned other college teams around, and the Rockets team salary is maxed out because of US.

    All this talk about westbrook not being able to mix with Capela, but he has chemisty with Hart, kinda weird. But i think if you want to find a trade out there that makes good sense, i would say maybe with Memphis, with the rockets trading

    Rockets send out :Capela, Ben Mclemore, Gary Clark, and Nene(Contract)
    Rockets Receive : VALANCIUNAS, Jae Crowder.

    Seems like a good trade, gives memphis a younger center/More dominant Center for Ja Morant to work with. Capela gonna be a monster as the 2nd scoring option in Memphis, Gives Clark and Ben some more playing time in memphis where they might stand out and be valued more. and i just think Val and Jae fit the more vet style leadership rockets are looking for, playoff leadership experience rockets are gonna need to win a chip this year...

    Harry Giles in addition to his passing, can put ball on floor and create for himself, also has range to 3.

    Skinny kid but plays with physicality and intensity. He is a big but not one dimensional, has all around BB skills and high IQ, just loves to hoop.



    5 who is also playmaker would be ridiculous.

    Would add former 4th overall pick Josh Jackson to your list.

    Jackson is ultimate buy low, high return opportunity. Grizz likely gives him away, maybe gives up a SRP too.

    6'8 wing that not only defends but playmaking scorer. 3 point shooting has really improved while in G League.

    If we trade for Giles I definitely don’t see him playing any 5. I see him playing more of the backup 4 spot so I’m not sure where all this moving Capela stuff is coming from.

    What would be the point of this? Raptors traded Val cuz he wasnt a good enough vet and Jae Crowder is a bad shooter, got shipped out because his 3 pt shooting sucks. Dude is shooting 30% 3 for the season Gary Clark actually has a higher 3 pt percentage lol.

    Harry Giles is 6'10 240 with 7'3 wingspan. He played 5 spot with SAC and almost certain he would be a 5 with HOU.

    According to my sources, @Deuce , the Rockets may be looking to make moves to upgrade the roster, should the right opportunity arise

    Will let u know if I hear more.

    Saric was a solid glue guy for the 76ers...strange how he can't seem to find minutes on a middling Suns team.
