News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If they can get a good center on the cheap, why the hell have they had nene the last two years? This just Houston trying to get off that contract.

Capella isn't a "have to have" player. He's good to have against a guy like Gobert, but he can seem worthless against Golden State.

Butler is a much better player than Gordon. If they get Butler, all they would need is an okay center or multiple center options and they will be okay. I wouldn't put it past D'Antoni to go super small and play Tucker at C sometimes.

They have already been doing that in the playoffs. Because players that can’t shoot or make plays are kind of easy to play off the floor if one team has more of those than the other.

I’d love to see Houston sign Butler, throwing him into a toxic environment sounds perfect

there's only one ball I sure hope The Rockets add butler Can't see that working out. Capela has been super valuable for them.

Would almost have to be Gordon and Capela in a sign and trade.... I'm sure Capela is routed to a third team... does this make the Rockets better if true?

Can you imagine the egos of Butler, Paul, and Harden on the same team? Where's my popcorn??

It makes them easier for us to beat in the playoffs.

Thanks but no thanks to Butler in Houston. I’m hoping he fills a max slot for the Knicks. All they’d need is to find a stupid team to take on Paul and they’d be right back in the thick of things.

Who does Looney sign with ?

Probably rockets.

I’m going to have to disagree. One thing that the Rockets have always understood is that Stars shine in the postseason. Butler would be a BIG help for them in the playoffs. He was easily the best player for the 76ers this postseason. I want him to leave Philly, but I don’t want him in the West. He’s exactly the kind of X factor that could turn a playoff series against you.

Capella does all the dirty work for Houston, chase down rebounds, set's screens, help D.

If they want to drop him and pick up another over-inflated ego then I'm all for it.
