Poll: Capela And Randle frontcourt

[Pvictor11]

While I do not like Randle next to Capela (or Steven Adams for that matter) due to their lack of combined shooting prowess ... I am curious how Randle might fit next to Vucevic.

Vucevic can spread the floor and open that paint up for Randle to attack the rim. I think those two can work together -- offensively at least. The main question in my mind is whether they can defend well enough for their offensive prowess to matter.

Randle can space the floor a bit, he shot 34% on 2.7 attempts a game last year, I think that can still improve, but he did take a major step to add that to his game last year.

That is not enough for spacing in the paint. Watch some vídeos of him. He plays bully ball, is Constantly looking to drive and throw his body at the defender or posting up. When he is in the perimeter people sag him off

need a third option. 

3.  no to these 2.  prefer a better option

This. 72% of Randle's shot attempts come within 10 feet of the basket.

He needs someone to space the floor for him.

Teams will pack the paint.

Not a Capela fan after that GSW 2019 series. Too limited for how much he'll cost.

[RodyTur10]

I voted yes, because I don't know what other center we can get to pair with Randle.

But giving up Smart for Capela leaves a hole in the backcourt. So I don't know how to work this out.
Maybe Rozier (S+T) + Yabu and next year's pick?

And honestly I don't believe that Houston wants to get rid of Capela.
False report or a short overreaction, I think.
 
Not a big fan of Capela either, but just like Smart he is a useful role player and not terribly overpaid.

Two bigs who can’t shoot, and one who can’t really pass either? Pass

[Silky]

this option would cost pretty much 100% of the capspace to make happen.

Bryant and Randle would be the best
Then Bryant and Young
then Bryant and green
Then Bryant and Aminu

Thomas Bryant is not the only viable big man option. I think thinking of him as the only good choice will lead to disappointment

[MichiganAdam]

Thomas bryant seems like a good option if we can get him for $10m/year, and young enough for a 4 year deal for sure.  Capella is also on the cheaper side, as would sabonis.  I like all of those options.  KP would be huge but awful expensive off an injury, and they would likely match a max deal anyhow.

[PhoSita]

No, I don't think you want two traditional bigs who can neither space the floor nor pass.  That is a recipe for bad offense and limited defense.

no he isnt, but at 10 mill starting salary he is the only one.
I dont think anyone else is coming at that salary, unless we send talent out in a trade

Except I suspect you're forgetting the Arenas Provision

The poll should be reworded. Somebody can think we are not fine but Capela and Randle are not the answer.

exactly what I was pointing out in my post above. 

example: would take Adams and an asset from OKC as my preferred option but would take Vucevic as my plan B

 Okay great. Everyone has weakness, but are you suggesting that our team without these two players are worse than our current team?

 What is your plan to improve the big situation. Because this plan upgrades our current situation.


 Randle plays bully ball, he scored in a different way than anyone on our team. That will help. Randle is taking almost 3 threes a game now and shooting at a nice percentage.

 20 points 9 boards a night helps.

 Capela protects the rim is very efficient on offense with putbacks and lobs.

 16 ppg and 13 rpg. I realize they probably won't both get their avg here, but in what universe does 36 ppg and 22 rpg not help our pathetic front line.
