Clint Capela may be available
- Thread starter NewArena
- Start date
So, with the rockets rumored interest in Butler and the need to offload salary to a third team I figured I should bump this.
If you can basically get capella for free or even get a pick too you have to do it right? Guy is basically exactly what everyone was hoping Willie would turn out to be. Situation seems somewhat similar to the Steven Adams thing and we were rumored to have interest there.
Thoughts?

Giles untouchable? The guy hasn’t done anything to put him in the same light as Fox or Bagley. No disrespect. But, Giles won’t be anymore than a role player in this league. The other 2 have All Star potential. When Giles starts affecting,
Impacting and winning games like the aforementioned, get back to me.

with a player like Giles, you have to be patient and keep working with him because he really has all the tools to be part of the core moving forward and if you trade him too soon, he can have that one turn around season no one say coming along the lines of a Siakam or CJ McCollum and you are left hitting yourself in the head over it.
I don't love the fit, but the Kings can afford to be opportunists here. If they're ready to move on from WCS (and, at this point, perhaps they should be), they could do a lot worse than adding Clint Capela to the roster via trade, particularly at Capela's age and price tag, and especially if they don't have to give up any core pieces to get him. He's only 25, and locked in for four years on a reasonable deal.
If the fit is awkward, then the Kings have a worthy trade asset to use in the future. As close as the Kings may be to playoff contention, they should still be in asset collection mode. We don't yet know where the Kings' young talent will eventually plateau. They absolutely need to find sneaky or cost-effective ways to add additional talent, because the West is only getting more treacherous. I anticipate that it will actually be tougher to snag an 8th seed next season than it already was this last season.
With the Warriors suddenly vulnerable, Houston (and a lot of other teams around the NBA) are going to be desperate to make a push to get into the Finals next season. The Kings' front office should be poised to take advantage of that desperation. They've got tons of cap space, and they can use that to their advantage on the trade block, since they don't have to send back equal salary. Capela's a good target, I think.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Reporting w/ @ZachLowe: Houston’s offering Clint Capela, Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker individually to teams w/ space to absorb salary. Rockets trying for best available first-rounder for any of those three, hoping to redirect pick to Philly in pursuit of Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade.

So 2 2nd rd picks for either Clint or Tucker
Not sure I would give up a 1st

I am yet to hear one great player or anyone outside of the Sac fandom agree with you. Not one.
He showed no flashes of greatness. That term is used grossly. What is your definition of greatness? He did a few nice things. Some Sac fans tend to overvalue their own players. Your sentiment is certainly not shared by anyone outside of Sac. But, hey, keep on dreaming. I see role player. You see an All Star. Keep on wearing those purple colored glasses. I bet my mortgage, he ends up no more than a role player in this league.
