    he had fun blocking the **** out of Cousins when he went against him. Capela is only 23, it is understandable that sometimes he would be overpowered. He will fill in to his body nicely. We would be stupid to trade him for a DeAndre Jordan who is much older and not as good.

    Yea I said he can block shots but one block doesn’t make up for so many other plays that he can’t guard or can’t score inside the paint.

    Yes you're right let's just tell all the vets on the team to chill and wait for Clint Capela to fill out and learn more toughness. Great idea.

    Demanding a trade (if true) is fantastic for us!

    Means he will be cancerous and they need to do the work to get rid of him. Offer Anderson (if they don't want him they can find a 3rd party). Put Clint on the table IF they can find us significant young talent.

    I can just imagine Anderson mean mugging The Rockets once he joins the misfit Rockets *clippers* and slamming it on Capela.

    knowing Morey, he'll also give them 3 first round picks in the trade.

    Don't you mean they'll give us 3 first rounders?

    Or maybe I'm misunderstanding and you think trading what looks to be the 29th pick, plus salary filler, for Chris Paul was a bad thing?!? (Dekker/ Bev/ Lou and Harrell are all bench players in the NBA - the other 3 guys are scrubs at best)

    Clint and Anderson and 2nd round for DJ. All day. Wouldn’t even think twice.

    The question here is (quantity of news arrived post yesterday) - (quantity of news arrived pre-yesterday) equals how much?

    warmly welcome dwight howard.

    codman is a legit source and apparently said he is coming back. I don't understand it but I can get behind it if he signs for cheap and we trade capela to free up space for lebron.

    Royce trying to sound smart again, how is that bus campaign going? ;)

    In all seriousness, just to unload Anderson, we should consider it at least. I do want more in return for Capela and Ryno than DJ. That’s just not a good deal and never gonna happen.

    Lou is playing at an All-Star level this year and is outplaying Eric Gordon. Bev is 1st team all-nba defense and along with Harrell can give you meaningful minutes. I'm not arguing that CP3 is worse than those 3 combined but there was no need to give them a pick when we had all the leverage. We knew CP3 was going to walk to Houston in FA but Morey still let the Clippers decide who they wanted. Morey even said in a interview he didn't want to give them Harrell but they demanded it in the S&T.

    Are you Kidding? :) Right! How would that ever happen?

    He and Harden didn't get along
    Obsessed with posting up unsuccessfully
    Would not run pick and roll

    Codman did not confirm that in anyway, and I'm almost certain that's not what he was hinting at.

    You are talking about this post correct Official Fire Jeff Bzdelik Thread

    Look I don't understand it either but I trust codman.

    The only way it makes sense is if lebron comes and we sign dwight for cheap. That way he can finally get his ring.

    Personally, I'd prefer clint or deandre though.

    I didn't get Codman alluding to Howard coming back either & for your reasons + Howard's free throw shooting. Both DJ & CC have increased their 48% FT shooting to 60% this season while Howard is still at 52%. No disrespect to Codman, but I just don't see Howard coming back.
