Would Houston trade Capella for Harrison Barnes + draft picks #17&#27?

Kevin Porter Jr. was a steal; congratulations. Will Houston actually play him? He can play some point guard.

Its surreal to think we went to the cusp of being a contender, a headache to play for any team and so quickly we lose the GM, Coach, Best players and we are left with the tillman fertitta family and might set an nba record for consecutive losses(currently 3rd all time). Damn

It's been a minute since I've been on this board. It's hard to believe it has become this low in attendance. I get what has happened in recent months. What happened prior to let's say last season for this board to get to this point?

It's like something transpire for this franchise to become cursed.

Mmmh...

Aiyä!
I'm a bandwagoner in search of a team to root for.
My attention was caught last season by Houston for the first time in my life and my interest grew up this season.

You get some favorites of mine namely Idriss Elba Udoka, Dillon Brooks, Jock Landale, Aquaman Adams and Uncle Green.
I like your hard-nosed defense and your old-school offense.

Other teams have some more leverage to earn my relatability and I'll probably end up bandwagoning one of them (MEM, MIN or BRK). Deadline to join a caravan is the end of NBA Tournament = end of Late pre Season.

Whatever... sure Rockets will be one team I will waych closely this season.

I'm hardly surprised by the lack of active users here.
Spanish Forum HOU thread isn't much better.
All in all Texas has some fair amount of deserts and No Mans Lands.
Hasn't it?

Hey guys, I am a wolves fan with a hypothetical question for you. Pretend during the offseason the Wolves offered you Karl Anthony towns for Sengun, Eason, and 2 firsts. Filler and a 3rd team might have been needed to make the money work (I honestly don’t know how to check now that KAT is on a different team,) would that have tempted you?

Jazz fan coming in peace. You guys are becoming the real deal right in front of our eyes. You guys are fun to watch. I love a gritty hard nose tough team more than anything and you guys have it in spades.

I get management holding off any trades this season but if you can make a small trade to bolster the offense just a touch without touching the core players you should consider it. You might make some noise in the playoffs. The experience alone to make it one more series in the playoffs would be invaluable to the young guys.


Congrats and hope to see you guys kick some ass these playoffs. Love seeing you guys beat Cavs and Boston. And I am a partial Boston fan having lived on the northeast and I still like seeing Donovan succeed. But I root for the underdog and I did live in Texas for a while and have always appreciated the Texas teams. Houston, Spurs, and Dallas have always been good franchises that aren’t hard to root for. But damn I like your identity right now. Hats off fellas.
