I am glad you all like the Clint Capela news.
I also felt great when I saw it because he truly deserves it. If this goes well, the Hawks will have a good pair of franchise players. Trae and Clint.
It's not easy to find big men who can play like that.

The rockets were going down the path of a complete rebuild, that's why they dumped everyone.
It was a pity to witness what happened to them after spending so much on building around Harden. I think they made a huge mistake when they chose him over CP3.
It was just not for them. The Rockets should try what the New York Knicks did if they cannot find a player that fits what they already have.
Build with a young core with long contracts and try to make something out of it. It's a risk but could also be rewarding if done right.
That's what they are doing now. There is no point being a middle of the road team. When in doubt cash in all your assets and crush the draft. Get a good 3-4 young players, then bring in a top tier or 2 free agent and you got yourself a squad. The problem most tes have is they over evaluate their own team. One thing is true though, you have to get the draft right and hit on a coue of these college kids.
