    He said he’d be willing to pay the luxury tax for a championship team. I tend to believe him but he could always renege I guess. We have a pretty finicky fan base if he decides to let CP3 walk you could bet Harden and Morey and most fans wouldn’t be far behind.

    Tillman will go into the luxury tax for a championship caliber team. He has said so a number of times.

    The Rockets may lose someone (it won't be Paul) like Ariza or Mbah.

    However Anderson's deal will be far easier to move, and they can deal Gordon if they need to.

    This is by far the most friendly players league. Star players dictate where they are going to play, not the teams. LeBron James did it, so did Chris Paul.

    It is very possible that the Rockets move some of their payroll pieces for another star level player than wants to be in Houston.

    For your info:

    Salary base 139 million = 180 million includes luxury tax

    Salary base 153 million = 238 million includes luxury tax

    There is a chance Tillman is not willing to spend 180 million (25 million cash loss if not increases ticket price)

    139 million = no budget for 4 free agents (Ariza, Luc, Green and JJ)

    Ariza, Luc, Green and JJ is unlikely to accept vet min.

    Ryan, Gordon and Tucker have taken the salary space (budget space)

    Should be a public poll so we can see who the two knuckleheads are who want Rose over CP3 and ban them from basketball-related anything

    Derick rose is playing better than Gordon. He can come off the bench as a 3rd/4th guard.

    Yes. Also let’s cut Harden and sign Monta Ellis. Same player.

    Save money. Use that $$$ to sign Aaron Brooks for the 8th time.

    What’s Mo Taylor up to these days?

    If the poll is Rondo 4 years 40 million compared to Paul 4 years 158 million, I'd vote yes.

    I take Rondo 40 million over Paul 158 million

    I still have 118 million for two other players: . Nikola Mirotic, Tyreke Evans

    Come on, 4 years 158 million is overpaid.

    Haha. Sac couldn’t pay enough money for an elite player.

    Just that Durant gave the Warriors a discount last summer so they could keep Iggy and others.
    He has come out and said he is going to exercise his player option this summer and become
    a free agent.....for leverage purposes on GSW’s. He is going to get paid this summer.
    Can Lacob afford it?

    I know you know this.....and so does ballscientist1

    While we’re at it, let’s trade Harden for Brandon Jennings and Capela for Michael Beasley.

    After Durant contract is signed. Lacob is going to send out Iggy or Livingston.

    Lacob's goal is 100 million cash profit each year.

    At least Gordon and Tucker have been productive this year. Ryno's cap hit is killing our prospects to improve the team.
