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.
I know it happened to other teams as well. What I'm saying is that they could have prevented a complete overhaul and still become a strong contender if they let go of Harden while keeping CP3 and the rest of their key players.
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.
Yes rebuilding will be much shorter if done right. NYK took a long time if I remember correctly.
