On Wednesday afternoon, Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe of ESPN reported that the Houston Rockets are shopping Clint Capela, Eric Gordon, and PJ Tucker in an effort to clear enough room to push the Philadelphia 76ers into a sign-and-trade for swingman Jimmy Butler. The situation is a bit muddled as free agency has yet to begin and Butler has yet to show definitive interest in heading to Texas, but if a deal is to be struck, the Rockets must acquire the veteran wing through a sign-and-trade, as the massive contracts of Chris Paul and James Harden will prevent Daryl Morey from acquiring Butler outright on the open market.
Clint Capela makes a lot of sense for the Sacramento Kings
