There’s no talking to rocket homers about giving up beloved members of this team These are the same people who said Pat Bev was untouchable How many all star appearances has capela made?. How many all star appearances has K love been in?
What is likelihood that Love is all star again? Besides, Love like Ryno is not playable against certain elite teams. Perimeter defending, roller and rim running 5 is more important to Rockets than stretch 5. Tucker is Rockets stretch 5.
Capelas production seems easier to replace than k love. Trade capela for love and pick up Dwight Howard for cheap. Or trade for valaciunua
We have our vets. Time to get younger and more athletic to fill gaps, add some energy and explosiveness. Love does none of that. If we add Love for free then I'm ok with that. But no reason to send assets even if they have some flaws.
Love is probably better then capela overall unless capela has a breakout season Love being overshadowed by Lebron I think people forget how good he can be. Love is way more athletic and mobile then Ryno, not an elite defender but by no means completely terrible
Yeah let’s get rid of one guy who sucks against golden state for another guy who sucks against golden state.
How exactly? Dwert is worthless. Valanciunas with what? Capela is not Gobert but is he so easy to replace? I don’t see that player out there. The time to do something was if we were willing to blow up on the tax and take advantage on deals. That has passed. Any move we make moving forward needs to be a versatile 3/4 D wing player like Covington or Aminu. If we had Aminu we could always move PJ back to the 3. We need another versatile defender in the front court. I just don’t see that deal at this point.
Replacing Love with Capela would be a defensive disaster. Not only is he a poor switch defender but he will be cooked at the rim. Especially with Harden and Westbrook on the perimeter. The obsession for KLove is blinding you. Capela is a much better and more important fit for Rockets.
Even as starting 4 (which is not as essential as 5 in MDA system), Love with Harden and WB is a catastrophe on D. You need more defense around Beard and Brodie, not less. Rockets are already an elite offense.
Who cares about all that? It’s about what a player is now and moving forward, not what he used to be.
Lmao, how do people still think picking up Dwight could ever be a good idea? Nobody wants to deal with his BS and clown behavior. How many teams has he been on now? Valanciunas just averaged 20, 11, and almost 2 blocks for Memphis last year, so they rewarded him with with a 3/45 deal. How could we get him? They wouldn’t want EG. So who are we sending over?
