Plus he’s a pretty good screener offensively and can switch on to the perimeter effectively on defense. the only gripe about him is that he’s not a traditional center size however he hasn’t seem to have had too many problems with holding his own despite his modern era size Capela is good defensively, which would be a big plus with Trae in the backcourt. I just don't see how this happens before the deadline, even in a multi team deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston wanted Collins and not Brooklyn's 1st when I asked. Even if they are willing to add a 1st and what not, it's still a shitty deal to me. Oh boy! Capela for Collins ???? No screw that ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side I have no clue why Daryl Morey would want collins anyways . It’s not like Houston uses any of their players offensively outside of harden and Westbrook. better for them to keep a defensive minded guy in the middle instead of getting another offense guy.

Plenty of reasons. They want to play small moving forward. Collins plays their style of offense while not killing their defense. It's a no brainer move.

Premium Member Jody23 Posted February 3, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I think Houston's motivation would be to get draft capital from Atlanta to flip for a wing player like Igoudala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not that much interest in Iggy like that if you are talking about Clint Capela. Capela is their most valuable asset they are willing to move and only for someone who can make them better. Collins fits that script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guy already said we offered the Brooklyn pick and they wanted Collins. Maybe something like Brooklyn 1st/Len will do and they can make their move for Covington. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Rockets are engaged in three-way trade possibilities that might allow for them to use Capela to gather the draft assets needed to acquire an impact wing player, league sources said. In talks around the league, the Rockets are expressing hope that they could find a deal -- or a series of deals -- that would bring them back a wing and a center for Capela by Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, sources said."

Premium Member Jody23 Posted February 3, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 This info leaking says to me that the Rockets are trying to get better offers than what they currently have from anything involving Atlanta. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't because Covington is available for a mid 1st which we have due to Brooklyn. Because a wing would be the obvious which would be Robert Covington but I don't see how it's possible with Atlanta unless MIN is willing to trade Layman to ATL as Turner would have to go to MIN.

But I guess what I’m saying is collins would make them worse defensively even though he brings better offense. Tucker would then have to litterally cover for everyone damn near Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd be down with adding Capela fir the Bkn pick as long as we kept JC. That would be brilliant. Makes no sense to trade JC for Capela though. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
