Uhh and where exactly are we getting that 20 mil for next season? Like someone mentioned already, he's useless without the lobs harden throws him. Would much rather have Jakob, and its not even close.
Capela, too expensive for what he does, imo. Good rebounder, no doubt, and good rim protector, but his contract is almost 20 million.

4/80 is NOT manageable money for a support piece. He's also not French.
The value in a player like Capela is getting him right off the assembly line. Once he gets paid, his value diminishes dramatically. I would argue that if he is getting paid $20M per year, his contract is as horrible as Paul's for what he brings to the table.
Capela was terrible in the playoffs. I wouldn't trade for him, either, tbh.
Just ask yourself this: What is Capela better at than Jakob Poeltl? And then ask yourself if that is worth paying 17 million more per season
Manageable, comparable to max contracts which I’m not a fan of at all. Cap flex long term will beat out almost all max contracts.
Not saying take Capela. Am saying he was burned by WarriorRef on a number of key plays.
Houston choked in plenty of additional ways, but I found a number of the Capela burns to be at momentum changing times.
Example Donkey Breath clearly intentionally fouls him at 100-100 fairly late in one game. In fact Warriors were in a zone and no one was guarding Cap when he received the pass right under the hoop. Out of range Donkey actually did an intentional foul. No whistle, key the ABC/Disney got announcer 'what a sensational play by Donkey slurp slurp'.....
Twenty million a year is a terrible contract for a role player.
No to both and CP3 no way that contract is awful and he could have signed with Spurs and teamed with Leonard (and Spurs could still have Kawhi).
Did Spurs show any interest in CP3 when he was a free agent? maybe or maybe not.
I could see Lakers take on that contract for CP3.
Paul never let it get that far. He opted in when Houston wanted to trade for him, and never hit FA.
I'd be all in favor of moving Derozan, but even I wouldn't even consider trading it for that garbage CP0 contract tbh.
Not only that, HOU has no youth at all (let alone enticing youth) to entice you to do so and what draft picks? They have Harden so what good are those futures?
Every other contract is manable if you are comparing it to a max contract.
i really wonder if cp3 would end up getting bought out... he’d make a decent chunk of change...
I wouldn't want Paul but I don't think he's untradeable. I think there are possible deals for Houston with minny, Charlotte, or Orlando.
The NBA gifted the Lakers the #4 pick to use in a AD trade, you'll see.
said it the season before last... rockets should trade harden for lebron.
cp3, lebron, capela... eric gordon + other three point shooters... lebron plays harder than harden (who doesn’t) and the ball would actually move...
with harden being younger than lebron the rockets could get more from the lakers than just doing the trade straight up.
I wonder if LA would give up the #4 for CP3?
Houston would dump CP0 on them for a future conditional second rounder.
Only deal i can see is DeRozan/Bertans/Forbes/29th pick or 19th? for Harden/Tucker. A Murray/Harden/Tucker/Aldridge/Poetl line up would have a pretty decent mix of offense and defense.
No ing way.
A 36 yo Chris Paul making 45 millions in one year
That's plausible. Wall wouldn't fit the Rockets, but if Paul and Harden's relationship is really broken, that might be the only way the Rockets have of getting rid of Paul. They would probably have to offer a pick though.
A sign and trade for Butler would be Morey's wet dream.
Wtf? How did anyone miss this ? lmao
