    If he's not now I think it's pretty safe to assume he will be over the long haul if they can't add anymore significant pieces. So yea he is

    Chinanu is the second best Capella on the team.

    Beverley is the second best right now .

    Clint is far and away the best value . Nene might actually be the second best value .

    Next season Clint has a chance to be clear cut the second best player and a legitimate top 10 center if he can take another leap .

    A rested Trevor also has a chance to be the second best player .

    One big key to the playoffs will be whether Capela can bring big effort and energy every game.

    Haha, Chinanu is also the best passing Capella on the team.

    For a third year player who was more of a footballer than a basketball player growing up, he fits like a glove this season. Great footwork, good measurements, good athleticism, and good work ethic. He will continue to get stronger and smarter on defense.

    Harden's beard is the team's 2nd best player. It helps him draw all those fouls and lulls defenders to sleep.

    Morey has been trying to get a player like Gordon since getting Harden. He feels Harden is at his best when he has a similar guy next to him. Gordon didn't get hurt but he has slowed down

    Yawn. I was speaking of Jones at a moment in time but you can't let it go. Turnabout is fair play...

    Romney lost after you guaranteed his win.

    D-Mo is a non-factor and we dodged a bullet not re-upping him to his agent's ridiculous standards.

    You said "Yule C." We saw alright. We saw that your 'inside' info, which you had the gall to charge for, is inevitably WRONG.

    We saw that you are a fraud. I'm actually sort of blown away that you have the nerve to post *anything* here anymore but then again so does DD so I guess being wrong all the time doesn't necessary slow one down at all. In your case the wronger you are the bolder you become.

    Capela, Ariza, Beverley, Gordon, Lou and Anderson can all be this teams second best player.

    Last year was Dwight, Brewer, Jones, Ariza, Beverley, Smith, Beasley and DMo.

    Yule C his sugar coma and raise him a BobbytheGreat?

    Dude, if you would just admit when you are/were wrong you wouldn't have such a negative reputation. It's hilarious after all your talk that TJones and DMo have essentially done nothing since being off the Rockets.

    I would probably agree that Capela is our second best player. Most of what the other key guys do is somewhat interchangeable. Not that they're not valuable, but what Capela brings is not only valuable, but pretty unique. We seriously hurt in the paint without Capela.

    Beverley is up there, too, though, even though he's more replaceable on paper.

    That it matters to call people out. Especially a good poster on this message board that's been here going on 20 years.
