It is clear that the Houston Rockets are in need of a wing player, but the big question is if trading for a wing is worth losing center Clint Capela. Let’s consider both the positives and negatives of trading Capela.

The most obvious positive of trading Capela is that it would make bringing in a wing player much easier. The Rockets are already well into the red in cap space so trading Capela, who is currently making around $16 million a season, would take away a large chunk of Houston’s cap issue.
