Would you want Westbrook on this team?

Rumors are that the Rockets are also in the hunt. Simply a yes or no question.

They aren't trading Capela for Hayward. Not even close. Brown or Smart are who they'd wantAndrew McCeltic wrote:Rumor that Boston is still interested in Capela and Houston in Gordon Hayward, thoughts?

No idea, but the Rockets really cant trade Capela without getting a big back. They have no full sized PF on the roster and Capela is the Rockets only non g-league 5 they have.
Ehh CP is better than Hayward and while Hayward has the chance of bouncing back I'm not all that interestedAndrew McCeltic wrote:red96 wrote:Andrew McCeltic wrote:

Right, I had assumed the Capela rumors weeks ago had been based on the idea you could sign a replacement center with the MLE - Deandre Jordan or whoever. That’s not an option now - so moving Chris Paul’s money for Hayward seems like the deal Houston would be interested in if they can’t work out something else..? Not sure Boston would be on board. I could see us dealing one of Brown/Smart, but hesitantly.
Our assets don't really matter because his contract is one of the worst in the leaguejwise44 wrote:The fact that westy and the thunder are working TOGETHER on a trade makes me think we may be able to get him, he’s still friends with harden, right?
I don’t know if we will cause our assets suck, but I honestly think he would want to come to houston, just have to beat out whatever other teams he puts on a list
I actually don’t know if I want him, don’t think I want him...just wouldn’t mind a team shakeup. Also could see a Paul, westy, harden lineup being able to exist “theoretically” if westy can start shooting better

Oh if they trade Capela for Westbrook they're out of their damn minds. Westbrook has a super max the next 4 years and fell off hard last season.

Can ego capela + not get it done? I honestly don’t know egos or westys contract this year...
I’m just trying to talk myself into wanting this because I hate Westbrook, but if it happens I have to learn to accept it
