    Well I'd have to say that depends on what players we trade for or don't trade for

    Would be an amazing team in 2018-19, but how would they fit CP3, Harden, Wade, Gordon, James, Melo, and Ariza all under whatever the projected cap is?

    I think Bima said Oliver signed a full NBA deal, cause he got $300K guaranteed, more than the $50K max allowed.

    But would love this roster to start the season.

    Per HoopsHype:



    Who knows if that is a two way contract or not?

    Melo bought out and signs here consulting wage of $400 per hr
    DWade is on his last legs and happy to be here so signs for min wage $7.25 per hr
    LBJ has made enough money and signs here for Volunteer work

    So rough numbers

    CP3 - $30mil
    Harden - $35 mil
    Ariza - $8 mil
    Gordon - $13 mil
    Capela - $4 mil
    Melo - $3.5Mi
    LBJ - Free
    Dwade - 60K

    SO about $94 mil with cap to fill out the roster

    It's too bad, Oliver should have gotten the guaranteed and Troy on 2 way contract. Oliver (Stretch 4) would see more minutes than Troy (wing). Rockets are overflowing with wings, not enough vet facilitators behind Harden and CP3 or stretch 4's. If Ryno/ Melo gets dinged up, not seeing LMaM as starter.

    Can never have enough wings... especially when a couple of them are older and need less minutes / more rest.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Still would rather have Cam Oliver in the line up and Troy Williams in G League. MaM will get wing minutes, so if Melo is out for any length of time, Oliver is a much better back up PF option. Better rebounder and 3 ball too.
