Deal done: Rockets trade Capela for Covington in 4-team deal

He hasn't even played a game with the Hawks yet, which makes me wonder how he feels like a vet. Plus, vets are usually good at dispensing advice. I doubt a 25-year old will be of any help to the younger guys.

I guarantee he's going to go back to feeling like a rookie once he experiences how Trae dictates everything.

 

i don't understand how someone who has less bball IQ than a varsity HS player can feel like an nba vet

 

two weaks from being two weaks away

 

Tilman saving money while also getting healthier. 3D chess. Best owner in sports, IMO.

 

weeks*

sorry, had to.

 

'weaks' was intended bro

(if it's not apparent, i'm probably the happiest person here that capela's no longer a rocket)

 

I thought it was but...

 

Why are some people throwing shade at Capela?

Idiots.

 

So even with Capela on our team, we'd be playing small ball the rest of the season. I'm glad we made the trade because we are in a win now mode.

 

Did we throw in our medical staff in the trade?

 

This was Morey and MDA move all the way.

The money savings was the only thing Tilly had a hand in, being the cheap ass he is.

 

I just assumed it meant on the Rockets after all this time, it seems like he's one of the kids on the team whereas on the Hawks, he's around the same age or older than a lot of those guys.

 

The only thing the Hawks are in contention for is a high draft pick, so they don’t care if Capela takes his time returning from plantar fasciitis.

 

Straight up sabotage by Mike. Clint was hurt and MDA still played him 40 minutes.

Or maybe misdiagnosis by medical staff initially?

Or we can just blame D'Antoni, he's blamed for everything else amirite?

 

Only team worse than Atlanta is Golden State?!?

Capeala might as well wait to see if kemba walker... oh I mean Trae young signs extension.

 

What more can the medical staff say? Clint wasn't right for weeks and we all saw it. Clint would be out then MDA would play him 40 minutes. Clint would be out again then MDA would play him 40 minutes.

That heel got worse and worse until he could longer play on it.

 

Read the article, listen to his interview. The med staff has final say on if injured player can play.

MDA clearly wanted him to be 100% before he returned. And lots of players play hurt, Clint just did not know how hurt he was.
