    How much can the Rockets offer JJ by cutting Markel?

    Ok got it. I thought so, but I wasn't sure. So is RJ. That leaves the Rockets with 14 guaranteed contracts.

    Ryan, PJ, Clint, Nene, Tarik, Luc, Ariza, Troy, Nanu, Zhou, Gordon, Harden, Paul, Green. Does this mean that one of the guaranteed players would have to be cut to accommodate JJ or another buyout player? Do the Rockets have any cap room left to sign a vet?

    JJ was asking out of Utah specifically so he could join OKC. Pretty sure they have an extra roster spot waiting for him as well.

    Kelly Iko: #Rockets would have to make a roster cut to open up space.

    Nope. Rockets roster stands at 14. Way to out yourself Kelly!

    @ch44 said this would be a slow trade deadline so let's calm ourselves

    Figures.

    I'm not optimistic about any buyout candidates.

    Our 5th leading scorer isn’t even in our rotation when we are healthy. No need need for Joe.

    I think we could easily make room for Joe at the 4 spot. We all know how Ryan goes on long spells where he's too hesitant to throw up a 3 pointer in the flow of an offense. Sit his ass down and put in Joe.

    We all know that we cannot play Ryan at the end of tight games because defenses are glued to the opponent. Put in Joe.

    We all know that Ryan cant be played for long stretches in a playoff game because of all of the above. Put in Joe, who happens to do pretty well in the playoffs.

    With all the scenarios mentioned above, i think Joe would be satisfied with the PT he gets here.

    The report that OKC had the edge prior to the trading deadline has been confirmed. Bobby Brown will be back soon, I guess.
