OFF SPORTS| Rockets Willing To Trade Anybody But Harden

Samad Robinson


It has been rumored that Houston Rockets

 General Manager Daryl Morey is willing to trade every player besides James Harden this off-season.
It also has been rumored that the Rockets are also willing to give up future first-round draft picks to make the right deal happen. 
Trading Chris Paul makes a lot of sense for the Rockets, but what NBA team will be willing to inhale the remainder of his massive contract. Chris Paul is owed an estimated $79 million over the next two seasons. He also has a player option for the 2021-2022 season that is worth an estimated $44 million. The NBA team that trades for Chris Paul will have to have a ton of cap space. You also can’t ignore that Chris Paul is 34 and has missed 30% of his games as a Rocket due to chronic injuries. 
Clint Capela will be there next most valuable asset which has much more flexibility financially if traded. The problem with Capela is, I don’t see many teams that would be interested in acquiring him at a high cost. The Rockets are clearly looking to acquire an all-star level player and I’m not sure how many teams will give that up for Clint Capela and some draft picks.
