    Burks had to have surgery, that's why it was 3+ months for him. Capela doesn't require surgery, just 6-8 weeks of rest.

    Didn't Yao get hurt around win #10 of that 22 game win streak?

    This sucks but I believe!

    Morey should try to get a center ASAP. I don't trust Nene as an everyday, 26+mpg player anymore and Harrell is too small to put on bigger big men. We've been playing Anderson at the 5 in crucial late games but we are so weak in the paint now.

    Brewer and a 2nd for Koufos!! Do it Morey!

    We did survive half a season in 2014-2015 with Howard out starting Joey Dorsey and Tarik Black so if we could find any sort of production from the center position, we'all be okay.

    Look how good Noel was on defense even in his rookie year. People forget that he was considered one of the best defensive players in College Basketball, and ranked very highly in various defensive metrics (BPG, SPG, DRPM, etc.) when he had the chance to play significant minutes for the Sixers.

    He can do everything Capela does on offense, and is a much better defensive player. I like Capela a lot, but I think he's a bit overrated as a rim protector, and I would much prefer to have Noel on our roster if we could get him.

    Why does everyone think Chandler will be expensive?
    Brewer + KJ + 2nd should get that done

    Chandler has 3 years left on his deal, I don't think thats going to happen.

    Rather try for Bogut, Noel or Okafor would all be cap friendly gets If we do try to deal for a big man.

    I think Rockets save assets and stand pat with Nene, Anderson and Harrell at the 5.

    We just lost 21 minutes of very solid play at Center for 21 more minutes of Nene and...Harrell? Our rebounding is going to be egregious.

    Yea I mean we aren't gonna tank or anything, but it's going to be rough.

    I don't want to jinx it, but we did lose our starting center in the 10th game of that 22 game winning streak as well.

    The D is going to completely nose dive to. Nene has be awful. I see us plummeting to the 6-8 seed unless Morey works some magic.

    12th game actually. They beat the Bulls and then Yao went down for the season.

    We gotta find a way to get Noel or WCS, otherwise this season is a wash. Losing your starting C for possibly longer than one month is no joke.

    Ariza would have to be in that deal. Nikola is very good.

    Capela is in denial about the recovery timeline I think
