    I'm betting on Deandre Hunter and Richaun Holmes

    Wouldn't hate that at all. Would the Hawks really give up on Hunter so early, though?

    But Saleem's point is ... pointless. Rockets looking to add wing AND a center with Capela trade.

    This info is all over this thread.

    1 good wing, bench defender and center that can play 15-20 minutes    . THIS EXACTLY!

    Wish we could sticky this at top of GARM front page.

    Thats why I thought they would try to get Dedmon because it would save them money and he can fit into our system

    I'm gonna laugh very hard if we lose Capela for Marcus Morris.

    Maybe Dantoni will finally play Hartenstein? #DOUBT

    I think Dantoni wants to post up Westbrook more with 4 shooters outside.

    Not surprising. Tilman hates Euros and Mike D'Anotoni hates tall people.

    Marcus Morris would be sick in this system to be honest.

    The Morris Twins together would be nasty.

    Money counts in this league. Drummond makes around 27 million; Love nearly 29. Capela makes not quite 15. You can take back about 18.5 in salary with only Capela's contract. Who else you want to give them?

    The answer is, "It's not possible." LOL at Tillman taking on salary, when they'll need to dump salary to get under the tax.

    Seriously. I mean, the Markieff deal should have been done last week. He's disgruntled, the Pistons are going nowhere (OT win aside), they need to get under the tax, he'd fit in great here: WTF is the holdup?!

    Marcus needs a buyout or Capela deal for that salary.

    Alright. I’ll stop fighting this.

    What do you think is a trade where both teams say yes?

    Capela for Marcus Morris and Robinson?
    Capela and a first for Marcus and Robinson?
    Or is that not enough?

    Keep in mind that New York may not want a center for $15M a year the next three years with their current roster when they’ve got Robinson on a minimum contract and Morris who can probably fetch them a better first that we have to offer.

    I only pray that by the end of the week we have robbed these tanking Eastern teams. Seems unlikely though.

    At least we'll have a bunch of guards/wings (league's most coveted asset?) to trade if we decide to blow it up next year.

    This! I don't get where the idea "Rockets knew Clint and WB would never work" narrative came from. I agree it's not about WB rather it's about to improve wing position while hoping not to significantly reduce Capela overall contribution. I trust Morey on this

    trading Capela could help get Iguodala as well
