    Today is the day the trade will officially be finalized hopefully we get press conference soon!

    In the mean time here’s some highlights of Houston Rocket and multiple time all star and champion Kevin Freaking Durant!

    At last, we’ve acquired the ELITE scorer our young core desperately needed to elevate our game. I haven’t been this thrilled since the Harden trade.

    Yeah an ELITE scorer and hopefully Super Star whistles on obvious fouls. Looking at you Golden State.

    I still can't believe it really happened. We're actual contenders again, feels so ****ing good!

    It looks like we got back Clint Capela as part of the 7 team trade.

    Thanks, @DaBeard! That’s why I come to CF- the early scoops.

    It is a good move, I am happy but I am worried as never before has a guy been brought in 37 or over and led a team anywhere.

    Always a first time, I guess.

    KD hasn't even played a game yet and I'm still bitter about him joining GSW and denying the Harden Rockets a title.

    He's gonna have to play a month at least of consistent basketball before I'm hopping on the bandwagon.

    Also, I wake up everyday still confused as to why we signed Capela to that deal. We could've gotten him for a vet min and our guard depth looks extremely shallow. Capela prob won't even play many minutes this year unless Adams goes down. So that's it, we paid a paid fanfav guy 7.5M/ as an insurance to Adams. I'd rather have just kept Jock since he's younger, knows his role and not injury prone.

    I think Capela will eventually take Adams' place. He is younger and more athletic. There is no doubt about Houston's shortcomings in the backcourt.

    Is DFS going to be part of a S/T to the Rockets? He hasn't signed through the NT-MLE.
