The former Rockets center is worth a drop, averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds per game, and is worth the second round!
The NBA deadline is getting closer, and managers at various clubs, including the Houston Rockets, are getting busy. Rockets manager Rafael Stone is under tremendous pressure, and this season's Rockets are different from previous Rockets, they have to get a playoff spot, and they are not free from their previous results.
The center guard has been a big problem in the Rockets' current roster, especially when Alpern Shenkin is replaced, which is almost a blank slate. Jeff Green, despite his repeated miracles, is getting older, Jock Longday is simply relying on him, and his interior obviously needs to be improved. Former Rockets forward Clint Capela's reputation has plummeted lately, and he is often rumored to be joining the Eastern Conference, and no team is reportedly going to make a first-round pick to Clint Capela, so the best option right now is to give him the same salary as him, plus a couple of second-round picks.
Clint Capela was the shooter picked by the Rockets, and he started his career with the Rockets, starting the 16-17 season with a 126 points, 81 rebound, 1 assist, 12 blocks, thus establishing his starting position. Since then, Clint Capela has been on a consistent streak, averaging double-digit or more numbers per game over the past three seasons and becoming the NBA's best rebounder. But in the second half of the 19-20 season, because Clint Capela was injured and the Rockets wanted to finish this "underdog", they traded Clint Capela to the Rockets in exchange for Robert Covington with a first-round pick.
Clint Capela joined the Rockets, and his team played well and took the Rockets to the Eastern Conference Finals at 20-21. But in the last two years, with the rapid development of young player Onika Okungu, Clint Capela's life at the club has been greatly limited. This season, although Clint Capela can still score 113 points 104 rebounds, 1 assist, 16 blocks, but as he gets older, his playing opportunities have diminished dramatically, and Clint Capela, who is mainly moving and converting, is no longer as tall as he used to be.
Clint Capela won't be free until next summer, and his $22 million salary next season is obvious, suggesting that the Rockets don't have much demand for Clint Capela. At present, he is a second-round pick, and the core players of the Rockets who urgently need a new signing can try it, after all, the current salary of the Rockets is still relatively generous, and Clint Capela's contract is about to end, they can negotiate a smaller salary, but a more stable long-term contract, this is the best choice.
