    Imagine if Capela gets injured next year. Good luck making anything....

    Take the money now and don’t bet on your average system ass self.

    Thank you

    When we were up 3-2, Draymond was shooting about 40% from the field and 20% from 3. He could not cheat off Capela and Steve Kerr could not play McGee or afford not to start Draymond at the 5 (unless you buy that starting the Hamptons 5 had nothing to do with the Rockets). He almost outrebounded Green despite playing more than 10 fewer minutes per game. He guarded the rim well and shot well himself.

    His performance against the best defensive big man in the NBA was as good as it gets for a C whose majority contribution is not offense.

    Anyhow, they'll give him the least he's willing to take. When it's preseason they tell you it's about how you perform, when the next summer comes around it's about the business, when your business is going good then it's about the market, and when the market is telling you they will pay you when you're unrestricted THEN it's about loyalty I guess.

    I love CC and his work ethic.

    I don't think he's worth 20 million dollars. That luxury cruse ship sailed last year.

    It's his right to risk it all and play the market, which all smart and hardworking Rockets players should do anyways.

    Kings have 14M left in cap room (if they use R-MLE on Yogi). The money in the market has dried up and is gone.

    Now Capela and Morey sit on their ass for however long delaying this decision.

    .....Wait on Melo
    .....Wait on Capela
    .....Wait on an Anderson trade.

    The waiting is the hardest part, I tell ya!

    I get he's trying to make the most amount of money but 85 to 90 million with incentives is good money to play in Texas and with his buddy James Harden and Paul! I can understand Ariza jumping ship because he needs to get paid as much as possible the last few years he has left. I really thought we had a very strong locker room bond. Stay with your friends Clint.

    Yes, That is what Clint should do. Ariza was critical to that bond. He will be missed.

    Actually, it was more of an all-body jerk.

    Anyone who says "seems no hope this year" after one game is an elite jerker.

    Actually, I think he did act like it.

    Time for him to be hungry again.

    Capela spent the summer getting sad.
    AD spent the summer getting better.
