    Word on the street is... Demarcus
    But (and I hate to say this) Capela makes more sense (except I think they believe Htown will match any offer - unlike Parsons)

    There's still Cousins out there, they wanted him in the past, he wants to get paid and they can, he's also unrestricted...there's still hope.

    Strange they couldn't work it out with Nerlens Noel- he was the better prospect compared to Capela.

    I know there are teams that like Capela, but honestly if you look at players that have left the Rockets in past years. How many really did better on their new squad? On top of that, Capela is elevated by great PG play. If you don't have that PG, your wasting the max money. Not as bad as NYC maxing Stoudemire but not far from that. I really hope teams decide not to take that chance.

    That's actually pretty good for the Hawks.

    Luka Doncic is a 6'8" PG that excels at PNR. We may have to pay the premium for Capela.

    We must end this nonsense of making these draft picks wear these fake draft hats (when there is a trade)

    Trae Young with the culottes, jacket, no socks combo. If his game is as terrible as his fashion sense... uh oh for ATL.

    Trae Young looks like the 2nd cousin of Angus Young with that outfit..
