Would you trade Clint Capela and #18 for Cameron Payne?

This poll confirms that 3.4% of those who voted, hate the Rockets.

 

Who knows if he looks nice or not, he hasnt played a single nba moment yet. All we know is that he has impressed. Whereas that will translate into actual games is another story.

But in this situation people have to realise that neither team would accept such a deal. Whether the future will prove one side wrong is another story.
capella has played too few minutes and hasnt shown flashes of wow hes gonna be a star potential to make another teams gm to trade a top 10 pick for him.
in the future like even next year he may be worth it. But right now no. Its not against him. Its how much precious the top picks are on their own. Gms dont trade them away like candy.

 

No. Absolutely not.

One idea I'm starting to buy into is #32 and TJones to move into the mid-20s. There's several teams there that may prefer a more tested player like TJones and the non-guaranteed money with the 32nd pick over a mid-20s pick. San Antonio is the most obvious.

 

The way I look at it, trading Capela right now is selling low. I know he's had a little bit of attention thrown on him in the playoffs, but nowhere near enough to garner the demand that his potential truly holds. A year ago, there were analysts calling Capela the steal of the draft. He was drafted around the same area as DJ and Ibaka. Both great blueprints. Ibaka onlt learnt the jumpshoot later on, so maybe there is some hope he can take the Ibaka route more than the DJ one.
