Clint Capela still not signed

[threattonature]

Being an RFA not stoping the player from signing a contract. If Clint had a contract offer of his likening, it would be signed and the ball would be in Houston’s court. So it’s seema to me as if the offers he have got from other teams have been in line or less than what Houston offers (5 for 90 i think)

How teams handle RFA can factor in to them losing players because of bad will. So Clint may feel a certain type of way if he has to sign the QO and plan to leave Houston next year. Basically players not getting ducked over by RFA. The market dictates your value. Your team can’t hold you hostage and make you sign a QO. If you’re good enough to get a contract of your liking, then by all means go get one. If the team wants you bad enough they will match. If not, you got paid and if they do you got paid

You off on this one. For the most part NBA teams know whose offers the team plans to match and not match. Word on Capella is that the Rockets plan to match any offer. So if you're a team with cap room why bother making an offer and put signing other free agents on hold when you know the team is going to match anyway. It would be a waste of time and possibly cause teams to miss out on other opportunities. So in that way it suppresses the offer that somebody like Capela would get in the first place.

The problem is offering a contract to an RFA freezes up money. When teams have money at the beginning of the free agency period, they will be fukked if they tie up their money on a guy who will be matched 3 days later. How many teams even have cap room to offer Capela a deal now?

I feel you, but I’m thinking if a team really wanted Capella, they would make him an offer, even if Houston matching was a formality. Can’t imagine a team really really wanting him and not making a formal offer. shyt everyone knew the Bulls would match that LaVine offer and Sacramento still offers him that contract. Kings also offerd Otto Porter that contract when it was widely know the Wiz would match any contract even if it was an overpay. We talking about the Kong’s though so those may not be the best examples lol. You have a point on teams tying up cap space. But that’s hasn’t stopped teams in the past. I just don’t think the market is there for him. Dallas was a team that was supposed to go after him but they went and got DJ. This nikka no max anyway. He’s not a max player.

Who do you think wants him at the max?

Y’all nikkas really think Clint Capelas a beast?

Clint Capella Is a very good player, but he isn't a max level player, he's a very limited role player.. I'm not sold the Rockets would match a max offer, just like it's so far proven that no one is offering it. Normally the higher profile RFA's get an offer from someone else to push the home team into a decision.

This case is a little different because hardly any team had real cap space, which benefits the Rockets....right now. Imo, he signs the QO and go the money next year when multiple teams have space.

I think Clint is a great player, except against the one main team that counts. GS is the one team that can play him off the floor like they can most big men and they have the defense to limit his effectiveness on offense. With that being the case combined with how far over the cap Houston is and that they're in repeater tax land it'll cost damn near triple whatever contract they pay him if not more. So the Rockets are playing it smart seeing how no teams have cap room. They absolutely should squeeze them. And Capela is in that fukked up position where if he waits a year he can be unrestricted and take the risk of getting that huge contract, but that difference in contract might be offset by all the money he'd lose this year alone just playing for the qualifying offer.

the deal he is looking for is too much. the only team that was willing to throw max at him was Phoenix and they went with Ayton instead of Doncic. everyone eyeing next summer.

 

[Dwight Howard]

He's not going to sign no QO. Y'all don't know ish bout FA.

He will lose so much money. He would only be able to sign a 4 year deal else where. You don't get this year back. 5 years 100m is what he is going to sign before training camp opens.

He will not sign for that amount. No team has that outside of Houston, they not bargaining against themselves

 

[feelosofer]

Which is good for Houston. They nees him again thia year.

Glut of big man in this free agency's, top ten of the NBA draft and in the league in general really fukked over Capela. I thought Dallas would at least inquire about signing him to deal, but the Mavs signed DeAndre on the first day. Might not even get $20 million annually. Sucks for Clint. Good for the Rockets.
