Monday evening edition of the pod, Danny gonna join me here in a second.

We got some news to talk about including the fascinating conclusion to the

Clint Capella saga and then we got to regrade our West off season from last year.

A lot of interesting ones there to get to as well. Golden State Houston.

Some big transitions. A Paul George trade. A lot of guys drafted pretty high in the lottery.

The Lakers getting Lebron's. We get a lot to look at here. But why don't we start Danny with that Capella news?

What is the deal? So it was originally reported at five years and 90 million.

It has subsequently been reported that 10 million of that is incentives.

But a majority of those incentives are likely. So I'm treating it as pretty close to that five year 90 million dollar figure

if you want to get a personality about a you could go 586 or something like that.

And it depends on whether the rockets make the Western conference finals. Tim Bontem has had the exact incentives in there.

Some of it is about Clint Capella's free throw percentage is defensive rebounds,

which is fun. Mori's put in wrinkles like that and other contracts before.

And so really I think what the story of this contract is for both sides really is risk a version.

So for the rockets they were able to get out of the risk that Clint Capella is not the player that we thought he was last year.

They paid him and so he didn't he's not going to be an unrestricted for agent next year.

And for Capella, he doesn't have to deal with the uncertainty and the financial risk that comes with going on a qualifying offer for one year

and then hitting the open market. Yeah, I think it's more interesting from Capella standpoint.

Obviously the rockets taking advantage of this market taking advantage of the fact that the Dallas,

Maverick. So really were the only potential shooter for Capella once the Suns drafted Deandre Aiden

went in the direction of a one year deal for Deandre Jordan instead.

And the rockets we were somewhat critical of them of being almost unrealistically low.
