Free agent center Clint Capela has agreed to a three-year, $21.5 million deal with the Houston Rockets, sources tell ESPN. Major frontcourt addition – and return to Houston for Capela.

Hm. Looking forward how they will work this one out. Do they have a TPE? Or is there an SnT in either the DFS or this signing?

Capela has fallen off, but it's hard to argue with that price

Houston is a BIG team. They are seriously going to be spooky.

The Rockets don't have enough remaining in their mid-level to sign Clint Capela to these terms.

It looks like a sign and trade is coming, either with this deal or for Dorian Finney-Smith.

Please be THIS deal. 

I want the Lakers to get NOTHING.

Honestly, the Rockets do have Jock Londale sitting there. His deal is about 8 mil for the Lakers. Fits pretty good with their remaining MLE.

Even still, I agree, I hope the Hawks get something out of Houston. HOU should want to deal with an Eastern conference team vs. making the Lakers better.

Yeah, there needs to be something coming. I assume Whitmore, but we will see.

Or they just pay someone a SRP to take Landale. Could even be a third team

I don't think Landale means anything to the Lakers. Or the SRP that they might get to take that deal

Clint Capela is going to return to Houston by why of sign-and-trade, sources say. The Rockets are sending a 2031 second-round pick swap plus cash to the Hawks, in exchange for helping facilitate the veteran center’s second stop in Houston.
