The Rockets wrapped up some very important business on Friday.
Houston and Clint Capela agreed to terms on a five-year extension worth $90 million, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojarnowski.
Capela -- the 25th overall pick in the 2014 draft -- had a terrific 2017-18 campaign.
He averaged 13.9 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks while shooting over 65 percent from the field.

Against the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, Capela registered 10.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, and shot over 72 percent overall.
The 24-year old was awesome against Karl-Anthony Towns and Minnesota in the opening round -- 15.8 points, 14.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks.

He was equally as impressive against Rudy Gobert and the Jazz in the West semis -- 13.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 3.6 blocks.
Capela making an average of $18 million per year is rather team-friendly, and should look even better for Houston as the salary cap continues to rise.
