There’s rarely a time where a drafted player battles with a team but this is the case when it comes to 25th pick Clint Capela and the Houston Rockets according to CSNNW’s Chris Haynes.
According to one source, for cap space, the Rockets requested that Capela spend another season in France, believing they would land Bosh in free agency. Capela’s representatives were strongly against that idea and that still stands. Friction amongst the two sides is ongoing, sources say.
There’s a $500,000 buyout to free the 6-11 forward from his French team. The Rockets and Capela’s representatives are also wrangling on who and how much each party should pay towards the buyout. Negotiations are currently at a minor impasse but sides are expected to reconvene talks in the next couple of days, we’re told.
With Houston unsuccessful in their endeavours to get Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh. They better have a plan C because A and B are certainly down the drain.
