Houston's 2nd year back up center is hitting FGs at a high percentage.

dont think Houston will give him up considering DH's injury worries.

I really like his game ,   Kinda reminds me of Nerlins .

But .....Howard is always injured these days ,  so I doubt they'd trade him.

This.

I can't imagine what we could offer that Houston would accept that wouldn't be really overpaying for him.

Why do people think that young backups are good trade targets?  They aren't likely to be available unless they look like they have no starter potential and the team has other options for the role.

Clint has very little starter potential for Houston as long as Dwight is there.  We could send one of our centers back in the trade, thus giving the Rockets another option in that backup role.   :)

Zero reason for Houston to give him up, especially with Dwight/TJ/DMo always getting injured.


Draft: 8 first rounders in next 5 years.

Cap space: $24 mil.

Teams like having starter-caliber talent coming off the bench, if they can afford it.

It's hard to see why Houston would consider trading him right now, since he's the only solid interior big man they've got after Dwight, and Dwight seems to be very injury prone at this stage of his career.

I like Clint Capela.  He reminds me of Biyombo.
