Ok that’s obviously a typo on my side, I was originally referring to him asking about 3 years, 10 mils PER. His last contract was more than 3 mils per year.
I'm thinking Morey's gotta make a trade. The Rockets have exactly the same roster as last season, except they are a year older and lost contributors like Rivers, Faried, and Nene. Making near-minimum signings to round out the roster just isn't going to do it. I think the roster needs a shakeup.
if we keep our starting 5 --> spend the rest of the MLE on rivers, then the BAE on a stretch 4 (toliver? Dudley?) if we do the capela to boston trade (since they lost horford they may still want this) --> spend the rest of the MLE on a center (KOQ, Holmes, or looney) and the BAE on a stretch 4 (same as above).
its probably 100% likely any kinda "upgrade" will be through trade. i woudnt trip about FA right now. only name i want right now is looney or mcgee or rivers
Desperation heave: Paul, Capela, and a 1st round pick to Cleveland for Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, and JR Smith, then use the remainder of our MLE to resign Austin Rivers. PG: Harden / Rivers SG: Gordon / Smith SF: House / Green PF: Love / Tucker C: Thompson / Hartenstein This ain't great but at least you get out from under Paul's contract while taking back an all-star who is just 30.
Whelp, there goes Mike Muscala to OKC. That was exactly who I said we should sign before the night is over...smfh. He would have been perfect for us.
magic just signed aminu, think theres any way we could trade gordon, *player*, 1sts for aaron gordon?
Aminu just signed with Magic. Team with too many PFs just added another one. After drafting Chuma Okeke and re-signing Vucevic, ORL is making a deal for a point and more shooting IMO. ORL: Smart, EGo, Rockets 1st Round pick BOS: Capela, Jerian Grant, Chiozza, Martin, Rockets 1st Round pick HOU: AGordon, Jalen Brown, Robert Williams, Magic 2nd Round pick Sign Rivers with MLE. BAE for Javale McGhee or Nerlens Noel. Vet min for LMAM, vet min for Stanley Johnson. CP3/Rivers/Ponds Harden/House/Frazier JBrown/Moute/SJohnson AG/Tucker/Clark McGee/RWilliams/Hartenstein
Trade Capela to Celtics (I don’t think they have a decent center at the moment) for Robert Williams +1st rd pk NT-MLE to JaMychal Green BAE to Robin Lopez Sign Walter Lemon jr (PG Bulls) to minimal contract. Sign Jakarr Sampson (PF Bulls) to minimal contract
