    The Rox can’t afford a player in his caliber.

    Whose going to even pick up by the Hawks or the Jazz will trade him to the Hawks for a second round top 29 protected pick.

    I'd consider kicking these guys around at the vet minimum. Or maybe one or two (McConnell, Rivers, Green) for the MLE:

    PG: Seth Curry, Isiah Thomas, TJ McConnell**, Austin Rivers**
    SG: Wes Mathews, Troy Daniels
    SF: Wilson Chandler, Stanley Johnson, Justin Anderson, Thabo Sefolosha
    PF: JaMychal Green**, Jeff Green
    C: Richaun Holmes, Javale McGee, Amir Johnson, Kyle O'Quinn

    I realize most of these guys are deeply flawed. But at vet min you count on finding the upside.

    This would be a super interesting pick up if he was in Houston's price range, I always thought he'd be good for Rockets, assuming health. Also I don't know why Luc Mbah A Moute was not on any of the lists I posted. If he's healthy, he also is a first call.

    Before the night is over, we should take that remaining $5 mil of the MLE and offer it to either

    Mike Muscala (6'11", 36% from 3)
    Or
    Darius Miller (6'8", 37% from 3)

    Both are good defenders with length.

    Why. I'm tired of the take grown man with Guarantee contracts feelings will get hurt if they had come back. I dont get it. If a team gave me 90 mil n wanted rontrade me the next day I would care. Wherever they sent me I would still make 90 mil

    And why do you think shitty players like Ross and shooter with no defense in the east second tier teams will get paid by the Jazz with fat contacts?

    Offense will get you paid, ask Harden.

    PG: Trade for Shabazz Napier (BRK) probably could get for a 2nd
    G/F/ Wing: Sign RHJ or Safolosha preferably RHJ
    Stretch 4: Vonleh or Trey Lyles or Luke Kornet Kornet should be cheap and can shoot the 3ball
    Post: Richaun Holmes AND Kevin Looney Solid post players + gives depth (re-sign Nene for vet min)

    I think you pretty much have to move Capela at this point to Boston for a 1st (Memphis 2020) + C Robert Williams

    CP3 - Napier - Ponds
    Harden - Gordon - Green
    RHJ - House - Clark
    Tucker - Kornet - Hartenstein
    Looney - Holmes - R. Williams

    Just spit ballin... post Buxxet letdown

    These teams talk about "family, brotherhood" etc in case you didn't know.. They deny trade rumors etc. Some players do get hurt by this .(See Demar Derozan). Maybe Morey told him we are gonna shop you, maybe he didn't. Point is these dudes are human.

    Houston needs to sign Darius Miller.
    Cheaper version of Trevor Ariza.
