    He’s just a salary filler, nothing to see here.

    You could except his name is De-yon-ta.

    Not sure how that sounds like Day-ton-a.

    Uber athletic long lob threat.

    Not seeing a player with lower than average BB IQ but definitely does not have Capela's hustle.

    This makes me think of a possible Kevin Love trade, cause without all those salary fillers we would've to trade Capela and Gordon or PJ to match his contract.

    That is one way of looking at it. Certainly makes it more feasible as an option.

    I'd take Horford over Love anyday.

    Not the Davis we need, but the Davis we deserve.

    But wouldn't that be something to see? Because it would mean the Rockets are trying to aggregate salaries to bring back a player with a substantial contract.

    Any fresh thoughts on this kid? He's still young, and he's 6'10. We're in desperate need of anyone 6'10 who can play. He isn't playing in summer league though. What's the story? Could he be a less dumb-as-rocks Marquise Chriss?

    I looked up the mock drafts from the year Deyonta was drafted (2016) and they almost all had him as a late lottery pick.

    Doesn’t Harden turn scrubs into rotation players?

    There is speculation that we only signed him to aggregate his salary for trade purposes. This would lend credence to that. I hope not but we will find out on 7/31 when his salary guarantees.

    iirc, he looked like a decent backup big when given the opportunity by memphis

    Q: What happened with Deyonta Davis and how come he's not on the summer league roster?

    A: The Rockets picked him up on waivers, but primarily as a trade piece. He likely will be released before his contract becomes guaranteed.
