    At last, we’ve acquired the ELITE scorer our young core desperately needed to elevate our game. I haven’t been this thrilled since the Harden trade.

    Yeah an ELITE scorer and hopefully Super Star whistles on obvious fouls. Looking at you Golden State.

    I still can't believe it really happened. We're actual contenders again, feels so ****ing good!

    It looks like we got back Clint Capela as part of the 7 team trade.

    It is a good move, I am happy but I am worried as never before has a guy been brought in 37 or over and led a team anywhere.

    Always a first time, I guess.

    KD hasn't even played a game yet and I'm still bitter about him joining GSW and denying the Harden Rockets a title.

    He's gonna have to play a month at least of consistent basketball before I'm hopping on the bandwagon.

    Also, I wake up everyday still confused as to why we signed Capela to that deal. We could've gotten him for a vet min and our guard depth looks extremely shallow. Capela prob won't even play many minutes this year unless Adams goes down. So that's it, we paid a paid fanfav guy 7.5M/ as an insurance to Adams. I'd rather have just kept Jock since he's younger, knows his role and not injury prone.

    I think Capela will eventually take Adams' place. He is younger and more athletic. There is no doubt about Houston's shortcomings in the backcourt.

    Is DFS going to be part of a S/T to the Rockets? He hasn't signed through the NT-MLE.
