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

Clint capeala is definitely a fair weather friend.

Capeala needs to lay back to watch Trae young after young has put up 40 plus in nine games!
.Atlanta has had two separate 10 game lose streaks!

 

Is this still a hot take or has actually watching Roco made this blindingly clear at this point?

If not, here is another thought. At times against opposing teams that go small or when the Rockets prefer to go small Capela is only going to play 20 some minutes. Roco in any scheme against any scheme can play 40 minutes especially in the playoffs. In these circumstances Roco could be worth damn near twice as much to the team even if they were equally as good, just by being playable. Except they are not equally as good, Roco is much better. And a much better Roco that is playable in all situations for a lesser, INJURED, Capela who is unplayable at time’s is a flat out steal. The first round pick and salary dump were needed to at least balance things a little but this was a great trade for the Rockets, as I said before when people were scratching their heads.
