They said we have 18 different trades lined up for All Stars. It just depends which one we want to do.
until its finalized it aint done... Asik expanded to a 3 team deal... I do not believe this is the finished product...
It is not obvious at all that this is the 'last big move'. This might well be the tip of the iceberg move? See below. Basically there is now 'several weeks' until this trade can be exanded (or Terry can be flipped). Morey picked up 2 extra 2nds, which he can add to the expiring deal of Terry (a single contract, not multiple), in order to make a trade for a larger salary. Terry (5.45mill) Papa (4.5mill) Motiejunas (1.5mill) Pelicans pick multiple 2nd rounders Can all be dangled for a $15-16million player. There are PG upgrades available in that price range.
This does not appear to be correct. http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q100 First, Terry can be traded again right after the deal is done if his salary isn't aggregated with another salary in order to take on a bigger contract. His contract is big enough to be used to acquire a decent sized incoming contract-- like Dragic's. Second, a player acquires by trade can be traded again while aggregating salaries in another 60 days. If the Terry deal is made official on September 15, his salary can be aggregated again on November 15. Third, given that the Terry deal isn't official yet, there is time to roll it into a 3 or more team trade in which HOU takes in a bigger salary. There are plenty of ways for the Rockets to take on money need be. Landing a top player isn't going to be easy but the reported Terry trade doesn't make it any less likely.
This makes no sense to me. In his prime Terry was one of the foremost Rocket Killers. He lit us up with regularity. But he is pushing forty, and I can't imagine him contributing other than a veteran presence. He actually has a lively and humorous personality. I don't get it.
The Rockets got 2 2nd round picks while not hurting itself much in terms of salary flexibility. Terry can either serve as a veteran shooter or have his expiring contract included in a trade just like these outgoing non-guaranteed deals can be. It isn't a major deal but is one that makes sense.
I like the trade because we get 2 second round pics and Jason terry can play that backup point guard role that Lin played last year and he's also a vet so our bench is better know that we have troy Daniels who is a proven shooter d-mo a solid backup pf joey Dorsey a good defender of the bench while Dwight in foul trouble and kostats or Garcia at The back up 3 Beverley/terry Harden/Daniels Ariza/kostats Jones/d-mo Dwight/dorsey
Do you think a team is wanting terry as a player or a contract? Wouldn't they rather have non-guaranteed contracts vs an expiring one? No GM is thinking sweet...maybe NOW I can call Morey to see if I can get terry because before they didn't have jack to offer.
Absolutely hated that guy when he was on the Mavs, but a part of me always thought he would've been the perfect shooting PG to play alongside McGrady when we first acquired him. Now, years later, maybe he'll fill that role alongside Harden. He has always had a knack for taking and making clutch shots, and I seem to remember he liked shooting in Toyota Center. In my top three of all-time most despised Mavs for being Rocket killers (Harper, Blackman, and him), but hopefully he still has something left in the tank and can contribute either on the court, in the locker room, or in a larger trade!
You are correct on all 3 points. Though I really don't see the 1st or the 3rd point happening. I see this as Morey trading something of immediate value that was expiring for something that he can trade later...Nov15th or later...and get a couple of 2nds. Non-guaranteed contracts are worth more than expiring contracts. So in a way we traded down..made up for it with the picks. If there was a pending trade for Dragic...or any big fish... in the future, we were in better shape before this trade indicating to me at nothing is pending.
