    Rockets could have easily beaten that offer, but so could all the other 28 NBA teams. Washington is just dumb.

    Bobby Portis is ALL they could get? You know Jabari is washed.

    Lol crushing 2 CF dreams at once. First we find out Anderson might’ve actually had real trade value for CF coveted players. Then a couple coveted players from different teams swap.

    Next up: Saric for Green and Temple. Then the Pelicans relent and trade AD for Lonzo straight up.

    When they trade Capela tomorrow and holic’s schtick dreams come true we can all just meet up with the poison punch at Toyota center.

    The OG @Codman coming through again. Wizards are tanking despite the owner's declaration.

    Time for Morey to offer the obligatory 4 first-round picks and lifetime supply of Landry's coupons for Bradley Beal.

    Damn . Tillman must not have wanted to take that contract .

    Because knight , Nene , and Chriss plus a pick or 2 is a better offer .... and you know damn well Morey offered that

    Dumped Anderson to save some money
    Dumped Knight to save some money
    Have only given out minimum contracts. (Well they did pay Clint & the prearranged deal with Chris)
    You get a minimum contract! And you get a minimum contract! And you get a minimum contract!
    Carmelo Anthony - minimum
    James Ennis - minimum
    Gerald Green - minimum
    Austin Rivers - minimum
    Ken Faried - minimum
    James Nunnally - 10-day
    Danuel House(2-way; can't come to terms on a normal deal)
    $15M for one year was too much.
    $4.3M for one year was too much.

    But they were gonna take on Otto Porter's $28M.

    "3rd scorers" like Porter, Harrison Barnes, Tobias Harris were available and moved.

    With Porter he just need to be motivated and in the right ROLE.

    Too bad the Rockets could not add a 3rd scorer with Harden & CP.
