    It doesn't take a genius to realize that a Paul + Jordan P'N'R is a deadly combination and that when put together, DeAndre is far more effective at getting to the line and getting his shots up. He's got nobody to deliver the ball to him like Paul can. Whether your correlate his FTAPG to Hack-a-Jordan
    (because although his percentages have improved from the line, he's still very hackable) or not, it's not up for me to convince you. But you can't sit here and say Paul had no impact on the way Jordan plays and affects the game, that's just ridiculous.

    Deandres post moves are terrible. He looks robotic

    Capela has so much more fluidity around the basket. He deserves credit for that.

    yea, we have 3 guards,3+1 wings, Tucker is thicc enough to play 5 sometimes; 2 bigs, that would be a solid 9 men rotation dont u think? could match up well against any possible lineups from opposing team

    I explained in my post.

    Your assumption is that things will be working out for us until the end of the season. My assumption is that things change. Everyone loves everyone on the team right now, but if we are kicked out by the Spurs again I imagine that would no longer be the case.

    I don't think some of you realize just how much better Capela is than DJ offensively.

    And he's six years younger.

    How is this thread 12 pages?
    Besides the fact that Houston would not mess with its chemistry and probably prefer Capela. Look at the difference in contracts. Even if Rockets were willing to give up two starters, which they aren’t, Clippers are going to take back Rynos contract when they just signed Blake and Gallinari?

    Topic is DeAndre wants to come to Houston. But it’s not going to happen.
    End of story

    I'd take Michael Jordan out of retirement rather than trade Capela for DeAndre Jordan.

    I think people believe it's Dantoni system along with Harden/CP3 then it is actually Capela. Arguably you can put Deandre in Capela's situation and he would have tons of 20/20 type games.

    Crazy how times change. Two years ago Clutchfans would've been losing its marbles, jumping over each other to beg Morey to do this move.

    I don't think that's true though. DJ is considerably bigger, he had Chris Paul, and yet he was never able to significantly increase his offensive output during the long stretches that Blake has missed. Clint's simply better at finding seams in the defense and giving his PGs passing angles. Not to mention the fact that he converts layups and hook shots at a higher percentage than DJ (and shoots them at a much higher volume) has.

    Someone would have to watch that show with the volume on to find it. That's a tough task

    I’d take him after he’s bought out to come and be the third center in the rotation.
