I agree with that, but it baffles me that credible national reporters like Stein continue to parrot this "HOU wants in the game, but has to clear...
Do you mean getting to that max # without a S&T? If Rockets can legitimately offer him both the S&T and 1+1 possibilities, they might have a real...
Wait, what? The fact that it "feels different" than last year -- when the Rockets struck out in epic fashion -- makes you want to give up? If...
Not sure if you're serious or not, but I don't think it's a good idea to "use" a team that doesn't have cap space. :) Yup. This is my biggest...
It'd be nice to hear it, but agents have played this game before. If Aldridge does want Houston, it doesn't benefit him to spell it out early in...
Gotcha, I was thinking of extensions. What I meant to say was Brewer isn't eligible for one. :) There's a weird defense mechanism with a lot...
No one can pay him for longer, even if they wanted to. 5-year deals are extremely limited (one per team) and are only given to bonafide...
This post needs to be stickied for the next week. So much truth. The challenge is going to be convincing Aldridge that Houston is the best fit for...
Is a team with Aldridge as its first option good enough to win a ring? Personally, I don't think it is. And some players don't think that way....
Uh, if Portland is a "player or two away", that player is a max-level player... and they have no financial ability to get one. (Even if they did,...
Why, exactly? A worse team with an older core?
If you S&T for Aldridge, which is BY FAR the most likely scenario, it would have zero impact on Llull. He'd be offered the MLE regardless.
I'm not sure why the media insists on making the odds of a S&T seem so complicated. It's actually very simple. Portland already knows they're...
The thing to remember is that the only teams who say "no S&T!" with their outgoing star players are generally those that feel shocked and...
3 years!!! If you make a quality coaching hire and you have a high draft pick, why not take ONE of those years to hope you hit jackpot before...
It's a good trade in the context of the Kings handcuffing themselves to Karl. It's not a good trade for the future of their franchise. Remember,...
Figured this was worth a thread of its own. From Ken Berger of CBS: Houston seeking pick. The Rockets, who have the 18th pick, are surveying...
Bucher did, 100%. I can't link it now because Sulia went under, but Bucher had a very detailed post on Sulia explaining why if Dwight Howard was...
Ric Bucher also had the Dallas Mavericks as the top team for Dwight Howard two years ago. He's a clown who's turned into a mouthpiece for Cuban.
I know this is mostly the reporter's speculation, but this is a bit misleading. The cap rising might be a reason for Llull to wait if he were a...
