If you could only keep one (Capela or Gordon)

Really depends on the circumstances

 

Gordon already has injury issues tho and is 28 while Capela just turned 23 and is still improving

there's no way I'd choose Gordon over Capela

 

If we're talking about not worrying about our center position I say you trade capela and keep your sixth man of the year, he adds so much to the team.

Obviously in reality losing capela makes our center position very vulnerable so it really all depends.

 

Not for a 1 yr contract.

 

one aspect to consider is capela's free agency next summer, and morey may not even want to pay his mkt value anyways. and other than his above-the-rim play (both offensively and defensively), the rest of his game is quite meh

 

I do in a heartbeat.

Capela isn't likely a Rockets player long term and George could very well resign in Houston with Paul/Harden present.

 

So I think it's less likely we could find another capela right now so I GUESS keep Capela. But mannnn do you guys remember how good EG was? We won games because of him, and he's a crazy good defender. If it's necessary for PG do it but I'm starting to think that ship has sailed

 

You know what is up.

 

You're right about his game, but Nanu is slow, and doesn't jump high or quickly. We would need another replacement for Capela,
if we get Paul George.

 

EG is a decent defender, but he is starting to slow down IMO. I do like him, I just wish EG was a few years younger.

 

true, but if we get paul george i'm also not sure capela is the type of center we should have clogging the lane up, when spreading the floor and getting boards might be more important instead. brandon bass?

 

CC is exactly the type of center you need when your other front court player is a stretch position

 

If we lose capela we get killed on Defense and on the boards... and that's kinda scary because he's not the worlds best of D anyway... but he's the best inside D we have with the exception of Nene when he's healthy

 

I hope we keep both. If I had to choose, would be EG since shooters of his caliber are rarer than a big such as Clint.

 

Would keep CC. He's great as a "rim runner" and that really helps our offense. Plus he's improving the other aspects of his game as well.

If only Dwert would have bought in to that role.

 

As there is nobody on the roster that I have seen play enough to feel confident that they could be an effective starting center - gotta go CC.
No disrespect to EGo, but gotta go with a starting need over a bench option...

 

We definitely can't afford to lose Clint unless we pick up a center with youth and experience. Nene can't do it all at his age. Our other guys don't have enough experience.

 

If we only had Harden? I'd keep Gordon.
Now that we have CP3? I'd keep Capela.

 

Keep Clint and it's not even close.

One of the big reasons why we even got EG in the first place was that he was expected to take on some of the playmaking duties while Harden is on the bench. Sure, he's also a great shooter, but those are readily found. Now that we have CP3, the playmaking contributions of EG is more or less worthless. He's basically a solid spot up shooter with acceptable defense.
