Clint Capela turned down 5 years 85 million !!

Houston might be in trouble - losing defensive guys

[cincinnatikid513]

he will be back in hou

[krk1030]

He's restricted right?

So they have no reason to even offer him that much, force him to prove he can get a better offer and you can just match it.

Not what he would do. He would accept their 2-4 mil qualifying offer for a 1 year deal, and become an unrestricted free agent next year when about triple the teams have cap space. Although it’s a good offer for a guy who can’t shoot in today’s game, some crappy franchise will throw more at him next year if he has another good year.

Just don’t end up like Nerlens Noel

That is such a bad strategy though. Your taking on so much risk for so little money.

Even with a max deal he would barley make up the 13-15 million he would lose in that 1 year.

Bigs that can’t shoot is consider worthless in today’s NBA- he’s dumb not to take the Money !! ( rebounds and defense is his strong suit ) poor men’s deandre Jordan

[tony_come]

He's worth 4-6mil per year

[jtoler]

I dont blame him for wanting more. led league in fg%, 8 in rebounds, 2nd in blocks. ton of guys made more this year who arnt worth it.

[rm18]

He is worth a lot more than that, Biyombo got more than that

[tony_come]

Can't win a championship with this guy

[jtoler]

He is worth a lot more than that, Biyombo got more than that

exactly, biyombo made 17 mil this year and mahinmi 16.6 mil. neither guy even starts.

They became free agents at the right time. The money dried up. That was the summer teams were spending just for the sake of it

what do u mean the money has dried up, thought these crazy contracts are supposed to go on for about 5 more years at least with whatever agreement collective bargaining or tv or whatever, heard something about something like that a while ago.

[juicername]

Can't win a championship without a guy like this.

[ikid2groove415]

He wasn’t even on the floor in critical moments in the western conference finals vs GSW- Child please !!

[JIBBBY]

Guy is an energy player, runs the court better and faster then any big man, very active on the glass... Can finish around the rim as well and on drives.. Very good defensive player over all..

Defense wins championship..

A bit undersized but I take him on the Lakers..

Cap keeps going up but the big bump was the first year of the TV deals where it went up huge and everyone had to spend a ton of money.

They did not need to sign long tern contracts like most did though which is why so few teams have cap space now.

Bigs are worthless in today’s NBA- he’s dumb not to take the money- like i said before

oh ok thanks

[JIBBBY]

If Houston is willing to pay 85 million for 5 years they must see something very special in him... He played great last year for the Rockets..

[Mr KLC]

Houston has reached an agreement with Clint Capela on a 5-year, $90m extension, sources tell ESPN.

[Auto Donk]

put an extra $5M in his pocket.......

not too shabby......

[ikid2groove415]

Fair deal for both sides - he’s not ask to score - protect the rim and grab rebounds

[jjgold]

Good move Houston !
