Ignored them because the first one I read showed you had an agenda. No need to go further.

How do I have an agenda? All I did was list TT's real game stats when he played against Drummond, Jokic & Embiid. And the only reason you refuse to continue this topic is you've been proven wrong.

You love telling people they're wrong all the time. Yet not once have you admitted when you've been wrong. And this topic is a perfect example.

Capela's a good player and would be a good fit on Boston. Can't see Houston trading him though.

Initial thoughts:

1.) Seems like speculation, not a "solid" rumor
2.) The pick in question under no circumstances should be the Memphis pick
3.) At the risk of sounding like a homer, I'll ask this the question out loud: Is Capela a big upgrade over Theis? I ask that question in all seriousness. If Capela is just a minor upgrade, is it worth a trade?
4.) I'm leaning against such a trade. Not hard against, just leaning against.

An added thought is why does Houston want to do such a trade? Is Houston not competing for a title this year? Do they not think Capela is gonna help them to that goal? Why?

Finally, the C's a have Capela-like player already in RWIII... who should be back after the all-star break. So the choice isn't just Capela vs Theis... it's Capela vs Theis & RWIII.

Because the one I saw TT clearly had a better game and you called it a tie. That was enough for me.

I do believe Capella is a lot better than Theis, which was why I also wondered why Houston would be making the deal.

The Rockets are in desperation mode.

Capela, Gordon, Tucker are likely the only guys that would bring something interesting back.

Is he a upgrade?

Not with that foot problem.

If healthy, why do they want to deal him?

Because they are fucked if the Lakers, Clippers, Nugz land Iggy or Covington, who are the Rockets top targets.

Saw speculation that they need a pick to send to Memphis for Iggy and they are looking to get that pick, and Kanter as a replacement Center, for Capela.

35 points, 14 reb vs 28 points, 23 rebounds and you're saying it's not close who had the better game.

Really?!?

He's the only guy with a salary large enough to accommodate Iggy.

Capela makes a shade under 16 and Iggy makes 17.

Plus, they really believe that Tucker at the 5 lineup is sustainable.

It isn't.

How would you lose money sucking off sailors? Seems like a low pay job shaqdaddy can relate too, but a cash one at that
