Curious to see what they give up, but great fit. We were out on him after we made that deal yesterday. He wasn't a fit here with that salary.
If they were to use the non-tax payer MLE next year they'd be capped at the tax apron which would be very difficult to do.
1) Nope 2) Nope 3) Only if a player came back with the pick
No if you use the full MLE you are hard-capped at the tax apron for that year.
We won't because next year we'll be back to a potential tax team again.
After the trades yesterday and the James Ennis trade, the Rockets have moved to less than $2 million over the luxury tax threshold. With Nene,...
We have zero leverage now that teams know we are trying to duck the tax.
Don't bet the House on House coming back.
We can get lower than that.
Another side effect here; we no longer have enough salary to cobble together for any meaningful trades today. So expect the rest of the day to be...
No problem. Giving away a useful player, even if you kept him on the bench for emergency uses only, is lame. The Rockets are trying to duck under...

This isn't about his fit, this is about getting under the tax. That's it.
I'll complain. This is a terrible trade. We gave him a way for free. At a bare minimum he would have been good depth. This is again nothing but a...
So nothing. Haha a pure dump. I'm pretty surprised by that honestly.
Yep, we can barely cobble enough together for Green. That's still doable so let's monitor that.
Not only has he suited up, but Fizz apparently loves him as a mentor to the team and the Knicks have already told Jordan that they hope to keep...
We can't match salaries for Gibson even with a facilitator is the point. His $14 million is way above anything we could aggregate. We can barely...
Like Taj, always have. All of these moves now have the same problem which is that we don't really have necessary salary to get them. I can't even...
Would have to be a future first. Would we deal our 2021 1st round pick for Saric? Is he enough of a needle mover? Would Morey be willing to give...
