Rockets not interested in trading Capela for DeAndre Jordan

Don't need Dean Dre Jordan, get Boban to complement Capela + Nene.

It is no different now than the 90's.....Warriors drafted their core and won, Dallas did the same. The only difference was in the 90's a guy called Jordan won a few titles. Capela can be matched, so it is the Rockets choice if he stays or goes

 

Potato sauce further confirms: Houston not interested

 

been trying to say this a few days, ever since it was announced that Capela wouldn't be traded. A buy out is the only way he gets to the Rockets

 

Based on what, DEF RTG? That also considers KAT and Kanter better defenders than O'Quinn.

And did you just completely miss our games against MIA and NOP last week? Capela was absolutely butchered inside in the first half of both of those games. He looked like he didn't even belong on the floor with their 5s.

 

Which would be total cool with me concerning the cap relief but absolutely no reason for the Clips to consider it.

 

Adams physically beats Capela up.

Capela does some things very well but he isn’t a very physical or imposing player inside. He is improving defensively but he doesn’t defend the block like Adams or Jordan does.

 

True about GSW and Mavs.. But

Agreed.. DeAndre gives us that psychological edge.. We won't be gettin punked in the post , as we see time to time with Capela...

 

Adams has success over DeAndre

 

Jordan is not good at defending the block and Capela is better at it

Jordan's fancy dunks and big rebound numbers have bamboozled a few people here i think

 

I doubt its as obvious as Capela...

 

Still thinking Capela is the key to trading Ryan Anderson for D .Jordan ? Jordan a free agent if he's not extended this year and play for a ? That was my thought when the trade went down with Griffin .

 

Really hard for the Rockets to add Jordan this season and keep any caproom to possibly add LeBron James. The Rockets seem pretty set on having the potential to add James so I don’t see it happening. Essentially the Rockets would need to move Anderson in a deal for Jordan and have an assurance from Jordan he would opt out.

Not going to happen. Keep an eye on Milwaukee.

 

did you forget Capela's first match up against the Pelicans where he slaughtered them and had 28pts 8rebs 5blks

if you think Jordan is going to stop Davis, you are badly mistaken. 25pts 17rebs 6asts 8-17 shooting is what Davis had on him yesterday. Torched him in the other meeting as well

no one stops Davis

 

I dont think its a "Clint is better thing". Clint probably is... He's younger.. better offensively.. BUT aint nobody scared of Clint come playoff time... He still gets ticky tack fouls called on him which takes him out the game.. I think DeAndre has a far greater defensive reputation regarding the refs " lettin the big boys bang"... We're gonna need that psychological edge in the playoffs..

 

Clint won't be traded, so you have to become creative in another trade

 

Jordan comits more fouls than Capela does
