    Why stop there?

    What if clint could learn to shoot 3s like curry and assist like chris paul consistently?

    I am OK with DJ if Capela asks too much money.

    DJ has more talent.

    Somebody didn't watch the conference finals. DJ is the superior to CC switching and defending in iso.

    DJ’s footwork is superior to Capela’s. That a part of Clint’s game that needs to improve dramatically.

    If the Rockets don’t match any max offer for Clint then fine.

    We only trade Capela for DJ is if Tobias Harris and Ryno are in the deal...seems unlikely

    DJ ain't turning down 24Ms to "come home" that is just dumb. If CAP signs elsewhere I'd bring in Nerlens Noel.

    This makes sense for both team! RYNO and CAPELA for DJ and TOBIAS

    Clippers rebuilding, get young stud in Capela and get something in returns for 2 expiring contracts

    Rockets get 2 veterans, both expiring contracts

    [Haynes] Deandre jordan will reject any trade to Houston and will join Warriors instead.

    How does he have more talent? Capela has grown by leaps and bounds, and can already do things at this young age that DJ cannot.

    If DJ truly wants to be in Houston and will take a massive discount then great, otherwise he doesn’t move the needle.

    Highly doubtful that he would take part of the MLE, but if he did and we had Capela too, would love that combo.

    The Rockets need Bron or PG first. Then we can think about adding luxuries.

    DJ would be borderline unplayable against the Warriors. But then again, CC was barely neutral in there as well.

    I disagree, a Ryno and Gallinari lineup would make my eyes bleed.

    Could this be a Parson-esque scenario, yet again? Lolol

    We all are getting psyched and paying all the attention towards a possible superstar addition (Bosh in 2014 - LBJ/PG in 2018) all while a team sneaks in with an untradeable max offer for one of our young core pieces (Parsons/Capela), and we end up with the veteran that wants to return to Houston (Ariza/Jordan) on a way better contract.

    Before I get flamed, there are numerous differences between the timelines. In 2014, we knew for certain that team was not a true contender with Parsons as the 3rd option. This year, we were a half away from being champions. We know in the very least that this team can push the very best to the limit. Parsons, while talented, had injury/ego concerns and wanted a bigger role. Capela seems like a very team oriented guy and is at least self-aware of his role on the team.

    I don’t know the cap situation of letting Clint go/S&T possibilities with him but if DJ is really itching to play in Houston for the MLE, that’s a hard pass up, especially if we could get something of value for Clint. I love Clint and any scenario that involves a S&T might not even be possible but getting a guy that does pretty much everything Clint does for a fraction of what Clint would make with a max, has to be big for someone like Morey who always wants flexibility.
