    The maximum salary of a player with 6 or fewer years of experience is either $9,000,000 or 25% of the total salary cap (2013–14: $14,670,000)

    per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_salary_cap#Maximum_individual_contracts_under_the_NBA

    Harden obvious max, Griffin obvious max. Howard will not get a max or he will leave. +Salary Cap is going up next year. It is not farfetched. No more than Howard/Bosh/Parsons/Harden all on max.

    I want Jared Dudley and Ryan Anderson. Would give up any combination of Lawson, Brewer, Jones, KJ, Decker, Harrell picks for them

    I think aquiring "Gorgui Dieng" would benefit us defensively to play PF & C. Can also shoot the mid range & tops all our bigs from the FT line. A double-double player.

    Markieff Morris is absolutely dominating

    Likely due to 2 things
    1) Trade deadline coming up, he wants to prove to teams that he's still good.

    2) New head coach.

    Still ok with Brewer & Jones for Markeiff

    Absolutely you are right, that's exactly what it is.

    Watson, on Markieff, after the game

    "He is the main focus of our offense moving forward, we know that"

    If you have Horford and Howard on the team at the same time we might as well trade Harden because he ain't doing **** with so many guys in the paint.

    My idea is just to trade Brew for expirings and then wait and see who is available in the offseason, either KD will be available or if he goes to GSW we can get Iggy and/or Barnes via FA.

    Horford is an outside shooter, he loves his mid range jumpers and hits threes

    Not sure how legit this is, but according to New York daily news, the Celtics have talked to us about Howard...

    Hmmm. Interesting

    I read that. I will not be surprised if Howard is dealt by the trading deadline. Wonder if it will be a 3 team deal. Don't know who the Celtics have in mind of trading for Howard though.

    Boston ain't giving up that Brooklyn pick. They would be crazy to make that deal.

    Agreed. Could end up being the first pick in the draft when it's all said and done. Upcoming draft is pretty talented

    Besides, with the way the NBA hates Houston, we'd trade for the pick and draw the 15th pick at the lottery selection
