Contract Value Index (CVI)
Clint Capela's contract with the Houston Rockets grades out as a fair market value contract, earning a C CVI grade. At $4.6M per year over 3 years, this is a minimum-level contract. Clint's deal falls in the minimum-level tier for NBA Centers. At 31, Clint still has productive years ahead, though the contract extends into the decline phase. This deal represents roughly fair market value — neither a steal nor an overpay. The deal will need consistent performance to grade out as a positive move long-term.
Performance Analysis

Clint's strongest metric is FG% at 6131.2, compared to the NBA Center median of 46.0. The biggest area for improvement is APG at 1.0, below the Center median of 4.0. Among 96 NBA Centers graded this season, Clint ranks 46th in overall performance. Clint will need to elevate key areas of the game to justify a larger role with the Houston Rockets.
Current Sentiment
Capela's perception is mixed; recent trade acquisition generates optimism but questions linger about fit. His C-grade performance raises concerns about production levels and consistency going forward. At $4.6M annually, he represents reasonable value, though some debate his role with Durant. Public feuds with Ayton dominate narratives more than on-court contributions, creating distraction. Fans are cautiously optimistic about pairing with Durant, but skeptical his play justifies roster investment.
