I think this going to happen. Celtics and Hawks are likely very interested in Capela, especially since both are likely a center away from being in great shape and they have an extra 2020 1st to work with. Gordon for Butler isn't bad for the 76ers if Jimmy doesn't plan on staying. I don't know their cap situation, but I imagine they could re-sign Reddick with that trade.

with cap holds they are at 108 million, but their practical cap space is 59 mil. If they renounce every free agent they could get up to 77 mil

deandre jordan isnt good at anything anymore except rebounding. He's a liability

We have seen how crappy our offense is over the long haul without a presence of a large body under basket. Without Capela, I'd take Deandre in an instant.

Coincidentally, that is what we are terrible at...

Unfortunately he is also super lazy.

Coming home does a lot for people. That's what excites me about jimmy butler and deandre Jordan. We need his rebounding and alley oop finishes and hopefully he gets back at it more defensively but he's still a big body.

DJ scares me as he seems like another Dwight Howard with a better attitude. Energetic, great rebounder, grabs the lobs, good defense. But come playoff time he'll get hacked and I don't have confidence in his free throw ability, especially in crucial moments. Capela is not much better, but has shown improvement. While I understand that DJ has shot fairly well for the past 3-4 years, his health and career 46% is concerning.

Maybe I am just having flashbacks to the hack-a-Howard days. I just want 5 players on the court who can make their free throws.

Given the fact that other teams are meeting w/ Horford and theres some smoke about Capela to Boston I am guessing this is the Celtics

Not Clint Capela!

I would have felt the same way if this was before the performance Capela gave during the last playoffs.

That left a bad taste for me too.

Really weird move from Nene. I feel like this means he'll be retiring.

The Heat could draw Butler's interest in the sign-and-trade market, sources say. (Houston, of course, has very loudly entered that market. Scoff if you want, but the last time Daryl Morey boasted of his capped-out team having something "up its sleeve," he pulled out Chris Paul.)

Houston needs a lot to line up. Philly has to cooperate, and the Sixers have little incentive to do so. Butler could force their hand by threatening to bolt to another team, but for that gambit to work, Philly has to actually care about Butler bolting to another team. What if they prefer that to taking back whatever players and picks Houston might send out? Houston has searched out third-party homes for Clint Capela, Eric Gordon, and P.J. Tucker, but why would such teams pay full freight when they know Houston has to make deals in the event they actually pull off the Butler acquisition? The Rockets have little leverage in those talks.

None of this even gets into base-year compensation, the perils of the hard cap that kicks in with any sign-and-trade, and whether dealing two or three good players for Butler actually makes Houston any better.

I can't see the heat being used for something other than leverage

If you can't beat em, sign em?

We're tryin to get a budget center. Capela must be gone.

Due diligence

Definitely wouldn't be upset about losing Shump....

Re-Confirming interest in Aminu

The Tine Legend continues....

"Shown interest" could mean anything, but at the right price, I'd love to have Aminu. Seems he's always killed us in the past, and we desperately need a true, long forward that can rebound.

apparently Miami would have to pull of some major roster changes to make this happen, similar to the Rockets

That's too bad. It's not like Miami and anywhere close to contending.

Garrett Temple to the Nets too. I wanted him.

I think chasing after Butler is a fool's errand. I don't think he wants to come here and I don't think he's that serious about winning.

We can still win with Harden and CP3, we just need the right 3 and d wings
