    I was also the Let's Get - RoCo, Ben McLemore, Jeff Green, Christian Wood, Bruno - Guy too.

    Seems like I'm more in sync with Morey and MDA than whiners like you.

    It's not magic, I just understand the philosophies and systems better than you do.

    He really wasn't until CP3 was traded for Westbrook.

    Jopat was arguing that Clint was not good fit with Harden and CP3. He was very wrong, could not be further from the truth.

    Clint Capela has no place on this team, especially at his salary.

    Do you really need to have this spelled out???

    I wish capella wasnt so expensive, with our current team he would be perfect to run with a second unit. I wouldnt want him on the floor all the time, but I feel like he could def help out second team and still see some harden to capella lobs

    No, not on this team.

    In a alternate reality where we never made the disastrous Westbrook trade, he absolutely fits, as evidenced by the 65 win juggernaut we had.

    Keep living in the past then.

    This team is moving on while you lament. Enjoy.

    You seem to be struggling to articulate your points.

    Instead of actually discussing you look to be hiding behind sarcasm and narcissism.

    Not a good look.

    Coming from the guy who has a negative take on a team that just played 2 historic games and are showing that they have both the fire power and the defense to defeat #1 offense in NBA ever and best team in NBA with #1 defense.

    And Rockets did it by committing fully to their systems on offense and defense.

    These wins were not by luck or system flaw.

    You keep hating and doubting.

    If anyone should appreciate Aaron Gordon it's someone like you who still complains about losing Capela (or is it more CP3?).

    6'9 Aaron Gordon provides everything that 6'10 Clint Capela does - run floor hard, lob threat, roller, rim protector, rebounder - except with MUCH more skills (secondary ball handler, court vision, shot creator, spacer, scorer, defends 1-5).



    Think a younger, longer, more explosive, more physical Jeff Green.

    What about the 2019 (poop the bed) Chris Paul?

    I guess we are very selective with “evidence” eh?

    :D

    you are really struggling.

    Gordon would be fine on a Paul team, not so much this team. You can’t even keep stay consistent in your own arguments.
