What, you mean there's a cost free option with a longer track record of success available for under $6 million a year? Imagine that. I hope...
Phillips, our 6th round pick, has also been terrific in rookie ball, posting a .417 OBP, and a. 996 OPS, thanks to his absurd 5 triples through 13...
Tricky situation money wise. If BimaThug was right about renouncing Lee and one of the minimum guys for Asik, the Rockets would need to create...
Heh, and now his last 5 hits are doubles. Good to start seeing some power...
Yes, it does. Sorry I was generalizing -- the case of undrafted free agents commanding big dollar contracts is rare!
He was playing hurt this year, and only played 5 games. As a 22 year old 2nd year player, he averaged 8.6 rebounds a game. Kyle Lowry's career...
Nope. This particular structure is unique to players in Asik's situation -- 2nd round picks who only had 2 year contracts, outperformed them,...
Yeah, though -- the Biggios clearly don't need the money, and Craig himself went to college. It very well could've been a "don't bother".
And what does that accomplish? They still have to pay Boozer, even if he's not on the roster. So you're now paying 30m for Asik (15m for Asik +...
You think it's easy to flip a role player making 15 million? Only team that would take him would really want a 15m expiring contracts, which means...
lee -- How would you compare Jones and Robert Horry? I liked your Derrick McKey comp. I'm curious to see how Jones develops. He's still only...
Well, more than that, virtually any deal those guys sign would be subject to BYC. To match Hedo's contract by itself, they'd still need to string...
Bima -- Curious as to your thoughts on the 2 guard situation if a Howard deal happened. If we have to renounce rights to Lee, you have Martin and...
More relevant for DeShields, his OBP is at .385 and climbing now. It's up .80 points from last year, which is a great improvement. He's 2 walks...
Let's say: Lamb = Marshon Brooks Martin = Lopez / Humphries To match those 3 extra first round picks, we're probably talking White, Jones, and...
Interesting. I think you forgot they'd still have Farmar/Morrow/Petro on the books if they sequenced it that way. If they sequenced the trades...
Do the math. Lopez at 9.75 (4.875) + Humphries at 8.5 + Brooks at 1.2 + 5 million for match purposes = $19.58m. Enough for Howard. Humphries put...
Humphries made 8m last year. He'd have to make greater than 9.5m to be a base year player. You are right that Lopez would fall under BYC if the...
Yeah. Marshon Brooks is a decent enough talent, but probably would be matched with any number of Rockets players. Will be curious to see what kind...
It's an interesting week for the Rockets. As you've noted, the Rockets will have to waive/renounce some players to clear the space for Asik. As it...
