We can find a big body to hold it down and do little things. ala Mcgee for the Warriors. Capela doesn't defend well or rebound well. His points come all off alley oops.
They aren't making the call "until Monday" so clearly it isn't absolutely official yet But ESPN trade machin has kanter on nyk already and melo in okc within 5 minutes
Do we have time for him to grow? What's his potential? I think we have a good team. I also don't see us contending for anything this year.
Wait, what? He doesn't rebound well? He is our best rebounder by a MILE. Also, he is fantastic at defending the pick and roll, which is probably the most important trait for a modern day C. Stop getting emotional.
I'm estatic that the Melo-drama is over!! Call me a homer, I DON'T CARE!! I think we had a good off-season and still pick my Rockets over OKC to have a better season!! People on this board act like we somehow regressed by adding Paul/Tucker/Moute to our 57 win team. Geezer Louise!! GO ROCKETS!!! ....... ....... .......
This year should be telling. Fourth season and 23 years old. 16-10 with solid defense can happen this year... 60% FT.
That's really funny. Harden averages 8.1 rebounds. Same as Capela. CC is a very weak rebounding center. HE looks good defending certain plays when Ryan Anderson fails on every turn. Capela is very overhyped on this board.
Clint gets 8.1 rebounds in 23.9 minutes a game. He has a 18.5 TRB%, Harden has a 12.2 TRB%. It isn't even close.
Going off actual play. Once he learns to play more minutes without getting tired so quickly , hopefully he can get 10 rebs.
On a team that shoots a cubic butt ton of 3s, there are more long rebounds. Guard # go up, C # go down. Explains some of it.
How does Presti get grand prizes for crap? Oladipo and Sabonis was the best deal for Paul George? Is McDermmott being limited by his coaches or something? Because it can’t be Kanter and a 2nd round pick. That was the best offer for Melo? I wouldn’t be surprised if Presti Jedi mind tricks everyone. Convinced Indiana that Ainge is low balling them. Stick it to him by accepting my crappier package. Convinced Perry he shouldn’t let Morey take advantage of him in his first trade. NTC be damned. Stick it to him by accepting my leftover crap from Indy. That’ll show ‘em!
Those stats are off actual play. It turns out we have the best backup C in basketball. As long as they both produce at high levels of effectiveness in the minutes they get, who cares? FYI, Hakeem Olajuwon had a 17.2 TRB%. In 24 minutes, Clint is giving you Hakeem level rebounding. "Very weak rebounding Center" deez nuts. If you try to come at Hakeem Imma stop your old ass Chip. CHIP!!!
