    So if the 2.6mm base stays but the 7+mm in bonuses is excluded...sounds to me like its a 2.6 contract with no incentives.

    wonder what's the rule on buying him out now. Or trading him so someone else can buy him out.

    Not only did the Rockets not get the Nene deal they wanted......they get NEGATIVE results.

    Dare you to start a thread asking that question.

    The only ppl who want to discuss this are those who enjoy the machinations of LTS *and* aren't sick of discussing them from last year, yet.

    If you insist, just look up "Onuaku, MCW, Carmelo Anthony" and "Luxury Tax Savings"

    MDA has the worst contract !!! Actually he doesn't have a contract past this season.

    Yup. And they flat out called it *chronic* to punctuate it.

    it gives bennett a slight boost in actually making the team. i didn't think they would carry both ryno and him if nene would be able to play at any time if needed. but they're already giving nene the "injury" tag so, they may just carry both of them now

    I feel the presence of Anderson is more damaging to Bennett. Basically the same role. And Anderson is a VET that MDA loves. Bennett is going to have to have a GREAT camp to make the team. To make Morey make the final call as a GM to put faith in young/upside versus MDA's love of Vets for the short term.

    well yeah once ryno signed, that was a done deal for bennett to me. but now that nene won't be playing for a minute, that why i think bennett will get a boost in opportunity to actually make the final roster. its not like these guys aren't easy cuts later down the line if needed

    No, they are keeping him for now. Probably get traded in January.

    Injured player exception?

    Maybe Nene will let them void his contract in exchange for Landry’s stock?

    Morey has something up his sleeve?
