1. Clint Capela, Houston Rockets

Stats: 13.9 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks 

Clint Capela likely has the most certainty on this list, but even his future isn’t entirely set in stone. Of course, especially after the season he had, the Houston Rockets would love to bring him back. But it’s not that simple.

The Rockets are another team that will be in the running for LeBron or Paul George this summer and signing them could complicate things for Capela’s return.

However, in the even that no other big fish make their way to Houston, the Rockets should match any offer that Capela gets on the open market. Still, it’s tough to say where Capela is going to be playing next year right now. Wherever it is, though, it’ll be with heavy pockets.
