    still, he hasn't had the chance to add salaries on his own terms if they pay the luxury tax.

    Signing a bad contract like Eric Gordon's is not Tillman's fault

    Capela/frp was needed for Robo and the other two were dead weight and open roster spots. I just have seen anything that the luxury tax was a reason the Rockets didn't get x.

    Feels appropriate to revive this. We should honestly just fill the board with old posts that point out times where we took a step back from a championship to save money.
