The Houston Rockets have been trying to re-sign restricted free agent Clint Capela for quite some time now. Free agency officially began on July 1 and the two sides are just now coming to an agreement on a new deal: a 5-year extension.
And what a deal it is. For a big man who has shown improvement in every single season of his young NBA career, signing Clint Capela for under $20 million a year is a bargain. In most every other offseason, somebody would have offered him a max deal. Thankfully for Houston, he’s here for at least 5 more years on a great contract.
