Clint Capela is the NBA’s best remaining free agent, even though the Houston Rockets don’t really fancy him a flight risk. And why should they?

The Sacramento Kings are not done handing out offer sheets to restricted free agents…apparently. After slinging four years and $78 million to Zach LaVine, only to see the Chicago Bulls match said overture, the Kings are now shifting their attentions to Rodney Hood and Marcus Smart.
