Predict Capela's salary in Restricted FA and whether we match!

The Rockets haven't had this sort of C depth since Henry Finkel was balling for us. be thankful Rocket fans.

 

I think it's pretty clear at this point he is getting maxed.

 

By who?

I don't think he will get close to maxed. He is an RFA in a supply rich center market with only a few teams with cap room.

 

Just going to leave this here. Rox 17-0 with them three active yet half the board has been freaking out and wanting to trade Capela for DJ.

Edit: And that 17-0 includes 2-0 against Warriors and 1-0 against Cavs, Minny, SA

 

If Clint signs a big contract then we will let him walk. Clint does not have to sign the contract. People forget this. You don't build a team like the Warriors without team friendly deals. If Clint wants to play on a contender then he must take less than his max offer in RFA.

I like Clint but he isn't worth over 20 mil a year. He is a great finisher around the bucket but his stats are obviously padded because of lobs and no other rebounders. He is replaceable. He also struggles to average 30 minutes per game, presumably because he lacks the fitness after not growing up as much of an athlete.

5 years 90 million deal from us. Draymond Green type money.

 

The Rockets can pay and will pay Clint, the only thing they need Capela to do is wait for all the other dominoes to fall in place before he signs an offer sheet which the Rockets can and will match.

Its all about the timing of each deal - any trade has to come first then they resign their FA's.

 

Lots of people in this thread don't understand that if we let Clint go, we can only sign players in the FA using Mid-Level exception, we don't get nobody near Clint's level with this amount of money, and have to live with Black or Nene as our starting 5, which is devastating for our chance to compete for the championship unless Lebron comes. And even if Lebron decides to come, we don't need to give up Clint because we can resign him using his Bird Right, we just need to get rid of Anderson/EG/PJ.

Even you think it's not worthwhile to pay Clint 20M a year, you have to give him this deal in order to enlarge the cap room. We can keep him or use him as a trading asset, either way it's much better than let him go for nothing. I don't think we can overpay him too much, because the maximum deal he is eligible for starts at about 25M, given his performance this year, I wouldn't say this is a very bad contract. A fair comparison is Otto Porter from the Wizards.

The only possible reason we don't resign him is that the owner decides competing for a Championship is unimportant and wants to avoid paying any luxury tax. If that is the case, I would be utterly disappointed.

 

Misclick, delete please.

 

The Rockets aren’t letting Clint leave in free agency. They either trade him (because they have to) or are resigning him. The Rockets don’t have the cap space to let him walk.

 

Wait for the dominoes to fall like chandler parsons did? Don’t wanna repeat that mistake.

 

You are out of your mind if you think Clint is getting any where near $25 mil a year. No team in the nba will give him even $18 mil next year... if we takes a semi Draymond type deal, then that would be awasome for the Rockets.

Anything more and I think the Rockets should let him walk.

 

Sure they can let him walk. With the likes of Lebron coming, Tyson chandler will def want to come and win a ring. Still would have the option of getting DJ if he opted in and was Bought out or took a lower deal.

Would hate to lose Clint, but at his max, no way, never.

 

I don't think it would be wise to invest anything over 20% of the cap on him, 15% would be ideal for what value he brings.

 

Im beginning to think clint is a lot more important to this team then I thought even right before harden went down.

The last two games have been eye opening.

He’s scoring a lot of points and efficiently.

He’s the perfect center for the switch heavy schemes you need in order to defend the warriors and he’s a very good shot blocker and rebounder.

I think we would be dumb to let him walk.

Is he worth the max for a team like the warriors or bulls for example? Prob not. Would they like to have him? I’m sure they both would.

But on a team with the two bests pick and roll ball handlers in the game, clint is needed.

And if we do plan on trying to get Lebron, another great pick and roll player.

Well that’s just another reason to keep clint.

By the way he’s a lot better than DeAndre jordan.

Just because you dunk hard doesn’t make you a good player.

That’s the Westbrook phenomenon we know all about that.

 

It all depends on what big name FA agree to come first...

 

Ok, put DeAndre on this team and then let's talk about his stats. Look at DeAndre FG%, it's at Clint's level if not higher, and he has never played next to CP3 PLUS James Harden, nobody has. That's a privilege that only Clint Capela has lived.

People is very hyped now we have beaten GSW, but I value Clint Capela for what he does every night, and defensively there are more than a few centers who bring you more presence, phisicality and overall defensive impact. And that's what this team needs the most at the center position, defensive impact with regularity.

 

You have to resign Clint even if you over pay him. Like others have mentioned, the Rockets are not going to have cap space to sign anybody else and there is no talent that will be available for the MLE "that can easily replace" Clint's production. The only thing Morey has to do is wait for the market to determine Clint's price and then match it. For those saying we can trade for Tyson, Tyson is up there in age and you can't expect him to have Clint type production. You guys are reaching.

 

There is a chance that his production drops when he is getting that mega fat deal.

Happened to the best of them.

Hope not.

 

He has only started 1 1/2 seasons. The guy will and should improve the next 2-3 seasons. You have to keep this guy.
