    Suns will pick Ayton. Mavs will definitely offer Capela a big contract.

    Suns also have Tyson Chandler, Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss going into next season lol. Will they even talk to Capela now? Doubt it.

    Whether Clint wants a bidding war or not is irrelevant because we know damn well his agent will LOVE a bidding war.

    Well, Chandler is super old and expiring, Bender and Chriss are PFs, they have also Len, but i think he signed the qo last summer so he's going to be unrestricted...anyway he sucks so...

    That doesn't solve the problem of having Capela maxed out and the 1st overall pick Ayton play the same position. Makes no sense from any angle.

    Chriss and Bender are PF/C btw, which means they would play in Capela's spot at times. Bender could grow into a good stretch 5 in a small ball lineup.

    Definitely, but that's assuming they will draft Ayton, which is what i also expect but who knows...what i mean, is, they definitely need a center, and Capela fits in therms of age with their core so, it's either Ayton or Doncic + (trying to sign) Capela for them apparently.

    Bender might be some sort of stretch 5 for some minutes but that doesn't make him a center, same for Chriss even if for different reasons, same Ryan Anderson etc...they need a true center obviously.

    Let Clint get his money .. go max out somewhere big dog no hard feelings you guys only get a couple contracts in your career. I ain't mad at ya.

    Sign Nerlens Noel and the Rockets won't even miss a beat.

    Chriss and Bender suck though so that won't be an issue.

    I doubt it. Suns will probably take Doncic as they should.

    You seem wildly misinformed.

    Capela is worth the max on this team because he is a perfect fit.

    On any other team with any other system and talent, he will not be worth that I would guess.

    Man I love Capela but he is a "Parsons" player right now, he isn't worth the max because to be a max player he needs to hold his own against GSW frontcourt which he really didn't do. Maybe worth 20-25M but past that is really sketch fam.

    Noel signed for 4.1 mil. Certainly the Rockets can offer him a comparible contract as an insurance policy in case Capela leaves. Capela is a better overall player but I agree his stats will likely go down if he doesn’t have a great player to dish him the ball. Noel is only 24 and can play much better than he showed in Dallas. If CC stays then you just added a quality backup to replace Nene.

    If the Suns offer Capela a max contract, can the Rockets sign-and-trade Capela to the Suns in a 3 or 4 team trade?

    I would love a sign and trade for the dude who said he is sick of not making the playoffs.

    I'm not sure about that, but I assume they will have to match it, since Clint is a RFA. A S/T probably will have to be agreed upon as soon as free agency starts.

    Well bye Clint. Thank you for the years but you are not the corner stone of this franchise. I am sure we'll get the same defense and lob dunks from DeAndre Jordan for a fraction of the cost. If he really wants to go to phoenix best of wishes to him and that dead franchise. Clint capella's can get drafted every season.... chris paul and james harden and a chance to win it all is not...
