Rockets bring back Clint Capela (3 years, $21.5M)

I think:
-the finney smith signing is writing on the wall for Eason
-Capela deal is about the inevitable trade for Giannis and the very least gives them depth if no there’s no deal
-As I said weeks ago I believe Rockets have a very attractive package and the deal likely will involve Sengun Eason Sheppard maybe Cam and picks

 

I guess the 3rd string was that vomit inducing that we need to be 15 deep during blowouts.

 

When Harden was doing the same things, it was Hardens fault.
Giannis is a stat filler, he’s not a guy that can lead this team.
And I don’t want to gut the youth of this team to get him.
Alp and Amen should be off limits

 

Kennard just signed with ATL, this could be a part of the deal then. ATL now has Dyson, NAW, Kennard, and Mathews, doesn't make sense for them...

 

Jabari hasn't played 6 seasons yet.
3rd season, both Jabari and Capela's points and rebounds were the same

 

They still planning to limit Adams on back to backs?

Lob threat and rim protection. I think we can use more of that.

 

Why not. He’s not getting any younger. Save him for the playoffs

 

lol We wouldn't be gutting the youth of the team at all. Amen wouldn't be in the trade if we did it. Sengun does fancy passes and moves, but he will never be as good as Giannis. His athleticism cuts him down on defence quite often.

 

Alp is the best young player on this team, that isn’t debatable.
I know it bugs you, but he was a very good defender last year. Better than Giannis.

 

11 Million. He's not getting redirected here.

 

I guess Ime going for the triple big lineup

 

Amen would be the only young player left with star upside.
I’m not interested in 3 years and starting over another rebuild.
And that’s if Amen can continue to develop, he is behind Alp developmentally.

 

Rockets depth:

Center: Sengun,Adams, Capela, Jabari.
Forward: Amen, Finney, Durant,Tari,Cam, Unc
SG: none
Pg: FVV,Reed, Holiday

 

Welcome home big fella!!

 

I haven’t been this excited about an upcoming season in a hot minute.

 

You're not interested in a rebuild and yet we could be continuing to rebuild for 3 years

 

lol I put to you that Amen is the best young player on the team because he can do more on both ends.

Giannis is better defensively than Sengun easily, more athletic and doesn't get blown by like Sengun does. You can play above the rim with Giannis, you can't with Sengun. Sengun is a ball stopper.

 

Rotation players:
Center: Sengun, Adams, Capela
Forward: KD, Jabari, Tari, DFS, [Amen]
Guard: Amen, FVV, Reed

Others:
Uncle Jeff, Tate, Holiday

Soon to be gone: Landale & Cam
