It's all about working for the future! Flexibility, developing youth, Dwight probably loves this during his prime years.

Sounds about right. The whole FIBA/agent/Rockets dispute was a big sham in order to keep his salary from counting against the cap the past week.

The Rockets don't want to lose another major talent to a large contract overseas. They essentially blew 2 first rounders in the span of a month that were major assets in a potential trade.

With Capela, his value will go up as an asset if he shows his talent off this year alot more than it would it he went overseas and got locked into a multi-year deal in Europe. Signing him is a smart move at this point.

Good news. If Capella blossoms we can shop him and a combo of, TJones, D-Mo, Canaan, Johnson, all our picks, to get Kevin Love.

We already know he wants to sign, though. We're just not sure the Rockets do.

Although without the need for cap space they prob. will.
