    This dude Covington probably top 5 wing defenders in a league full of superstar wings. He's a legit 6'9 with 7'2 wing span so he's not that much smaller than Capela. He's gonna EAT with Brodie and Harden and have a legit 2 wing combo in Tucker and RoCo to throw at PG and Kawhi

    Yeah, you're going big? We're going small! We're just gonna play our game @kjayp
    Just gonna tell PJ & Robert get a body on someone! Box out! You can do it! We'll be fine!

    All these picks & players traded away and you're not any closer to a title.
    Robert Covington? Nice player, you're not any closer to a title than you were 24 hours ago.

    2013: Traded for Harden
    2013: Traded in 2010 for Terrence Williams
    2013: Traded in 2011 to Minnesota (DMo draft night trade)
    2014: Traded for Harden
    2014: Clint Capela (Traded for Robert Covington)
    2015: Sam Dekker (Traded for Chris Paul)
    2015: Traded to Los Angeles to dump Jeremy Lin
    2016: Traded for Ty Lawson
    2017: Traded for Lou Williams
    2018: Traded for Chris Paul
    2019: Traded for Iman Shumpert
    2020: Traded for Robert Covington
    2021: Swap with OKC (Houston will receive the least favorable of Miami/OKC/Houston)
    2024: Traded for Russell Westbrook
    2025: Swap with OKC
    2026: Traded for Russell Westbrook

    How does it take Capela and a 1st to only get back Covington and Bell?

    I have always wanted Thad in Houston. He is 31 yrs old. I love his high IQ and defense. He can score on the block too.
    The Clippers have shown interest in him. He might get traded.

    Capela's injury had something to do with it, I believe.

    He wasn't likely to return this season. He technically could return next season as he's an unrestricted free agent and I doubt he's anything more than a minimum contract.

    at least we finally got a more than adequate Ariza replacement

    I want another wing player, and some decent C who can give us 20 min just in case

    Kinda puts a little damper on the "high" 2nd rounder talk going 'round doesn't it.

    I sure hope Maury pulls something else out of his a&& before the deadline!

    many fans give up way too easily

    once we are down 2-0 in the opening game of the season, some fans start planning for the next season already

    No,he isn’t a legit 6’9. His official height is 6’7 now. He was listed as 6’9 before the NBA forced to publish accurate heights.
