As the Houston Rockets have navigated this offseason, their trio of acquisitions, including Kevin Durant, Dorian Finney-Smith and Clint Capela, have left them poised to have one of the deepest rotations in the league.
Yet, their purpose of their signing Capela to a three-year, $21 million deal still remains somewhat unclear if everyone on the roster is healthy, and it is quite possible that he could be on the trade block rather soon after the start of the season.
Although Capela's return to Houston could be serendipitous if someone like Steven Adams sustains an injury, it will be difficult for him to crack the rotation if all goes according to plan, and, as a player with a unique defensive skill-set, he could be utilized to fill a deeper need for the Rockets.
