Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal 

Rebuilding an NBA team can involve parting with quality players as part of the process. The problem with bringing in better players is that you end up leaving some good players out of the picture as a result. 

There is a possibility that Porter Jr. will be the Rockets’ casualty in this scenario. Fred VanVleet has been signed by the team. Amen Thompson has been drafted by the Houston Rockets. They’ve already got Jalen Green at the two. Where does Porter Jr. fit in? 

Naturally, this deal also creates a number of problems of its own. As a young player with star potential, Alperen Sengun has already established himself as one of the best players in the world. Is it possible that Capela will step on his toes? 

Yes, a little bit. That being said, Sengun doesn’t offer much in terms of rim protection when it comes to its products. There is no doubt that Capela is an elite player.

If the Rockets want to build a strong defense, they need an anchor. Meanwhile, if Sengun’s shot develops, he could share the floor with Capela for stretches at the four. If that works, the Rockets won’t be anyone’s idea of a joke next season.
