What I am really wondering about is where is Harden in all of this fiasco? Heck where is Chris Paul right now in all of this? If James Harden and Chris Paul really feel like Clint Capella is a large piece in what they are doing then they either need to call Morey or call Clint. If these guys could lock Deandre in a house... they can lock Clint inside one too.
I wonder if the Rockets are OK with Clint taking his QO-- one more year at a cheap price for The Financially Troubled Tillman Fertitta, and they still have his Bird Rights next summer and can outbid every other team for him if he proves to be worth the max in the coming season. The only thing they lose out on is the ability to use him as a trade asset for the upcoming season.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/capelca01.html His per 100 blocks and points have been pretty constant from Year 1. His mpg grew steadily. I agree that when your minutes approach 30 mpg, you have become a legit starter. That's the reason most people think that this past season was his break out. The greatest improvement stats-wise is rebounding. The per 100 rebounding had a big jump from Year 3 to Year 4. I also agree that his defense has been great in the playoffs. I'm still not sure if we can say that he is an elite defender yet. Physically I don't see anything more than marginal improvement from this point on. He may improve by honing the skills.
