My max offer to Llull would be 4 years $23 million, with the 4th year being non-guaranteed. It's a fair offer for a good but unproven (in the NBA)...
Diaw + #25 for Papa + Prigioni + #32 San Antonio clears cap for run at LaMarcus. Houston get's a good player and a better pick.
If we're trading back, then there's something beyond picks/rookies that Morey wants. Maybe Prigioni and #18 for Haywood and #24? That Haywood...
My apologies, and I have a hard time resisting trade proposals. It's fun to put yourself in Morey's shoes and try to predict the next move.
Don't think the Rockets would go for that. Most likely, it's non-guaranteeds and #32 to move into the mid-20s. A few examples: Varejao + #24...
Ok, so it sounds like it could work. You just take option B and then sign him to his new salary (I estimated $2 million), and then that becomes...
I thought about creating a whole thread about this. The Rockets want as much confusion out there as possible: "We're keeping Beverley"...
A little confused. Could they not decline his team option for next season, not make the QO, keep his non-bird rights, and sign him to a lower figure?
Thanks for clarifying. So they could still bring back Papa at something like $2 million, but he would have to be a UFA? I don't see that as a big...
Again, for fun: 1) Rockets not interested in Ty Lawson due to character issues 2) Faried is a buy low target 3) TJones getting traded 4)...
The main asset to me is getting a young player locked in on a cheap contract. The difference between the 2nd round pick's salary in 2016 compared...
Definitely something to consider if we're planning to operate OVER the cap (and maybe even under the cap). By operating over, we would need to...
And that's why I'm ok with operating under the cap. Everyone has made a big deal about losing Brewer, who we spent a good 2nd round pick to...
It's not happening, but if I had to guess, the #6 pick would cost a minimum of DMo and #18
I speculated about this recently:
Under $9.8 million incoming trade, so I believe it's outgoing times 150%. Papa would be enough.
I hope people pay attention to the WANT vs WILL distinction. Everyone seems to WANT a PG, but that just doesn't seem to be in the Rockets DNA....
Seems like a backup plan...like "now that all the good free agents have signed, what are we supposed to do with Papanikolaou's non-guaranteed...
If the Rockets really are offering 3 years $24 million, then the answer to all of the above better be yes.
I don't see a major impediment to trading Dorsey, Prigioni, and TJones for zero in return without including other assets. TJones and his low...
