Losing Capela and Gordon in a trade that simultaneously hard-caps us would have been a fat MISTAKE.

Get a grip people. I honestly don't know how serious Daryl Morey even was about hard-capping himself at the apron to make a move for Butler. I'm sure Tilman forced his hand and it was his idea of winning at all costs.

We would have sold Capela for pennies on the dollar (when has Morey even sold low on an asset?) and all of his replacements are signing elsewhere on contracts that are more lucrative than we could have offered. We would have had two star players in CP3 and Butler who can never stay healthy and NO depth to put around Harden to ease his workload. I hear people saying that Javale McGee can do what Capela does because of James Harden. Absolute lunacy. I'm sure these same users were defending Clint when KD said his job was "easy" before that 7 game series a year back.

Hard-capping ourselves for any player besides Giannis or a healthy KD would have been a catastrophe. I would have loved Jimmy on the Rockets but once he opted out the writing was on the wall. Now that we can't avoid the luxury tax, I'm hoping for a much more aggressive off-season with rounding out the roster with quality front-court talent to back up our guards. If Kawhi doesn't go to the Lakers we are RIGHT there.

I swear Eric Gordon must be the most underrated player by his own fans in history. Dude is a legitimate gun.

If I read one more “Gordon for *fringe hack* and a first is a good deal do it Morey!”, then I may need a glass of water and lie down...
