As soon as the trade deal of Russel Westbrook was made official, the whole of Rockets roster welcomed him to the team. Clint Capela is a big fan of Westbrook and watched him play when he was a kid.
It is like a dream come true for Capela to play with an NBA star whom he had admired for so long. Even the other teammates are equally excited and the NBA summer has become a lot better after the deal.
Harden, Westbrook and Capela Trio
Most of the NBA teams have made power duos and as a result, have become the top contenders for the next NBA title. The Lakers tried their best to sign Kawhi Leonard, but he went with the Clippers. A third star-player could have been made the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis as a powerful trio.
The Rockets could be the first team to make a power trio in the form of James Harden, Russel Westbrook, and Clint Capela. If all the three star players continue their form, there is no stopping them. The Rockets could beat every NBA team and win the NBA 2020 finals.
