    Getting cut from China makes me think it is some sort of character issue.

    Wouldn’t a Nene Gerald Green and Clark and/or IH get it done? It would require another team taking on some players because of roster spots and would also involve our remaining picks because why else would Memphis do it.

    it’s unlikely but I think we could get up there for a $7 million contract.

    I think we should tamper expectations for any type of trade and prepare for Terrance Jones sequel.

    I like all 3. Bertans in particular. Especially if he can play back up 5 as well.

    I think Rockets end up with either Iguodala or Marvin Williams

    I just looked up his salary and it's higher than I thought. I thought it was ~3mil but it's actually 7mil, which makes things more difficult. I though it was lower. Still though, he's on a team that's going to be near the bottom of the league so it's likely he'll be available.

    Be trans would be a nice pickup, maybe the only guy we give up a future draft pick. Wouldn’t mind Crowder since he can shoot a bit and he would add toughness that this teams sorely lacks with the exception of Tucker. No way we give up anything for Belinelli, although I wouldn’t mind adding a 6’6” shooter.

    No way, our only bench shooter? Put a 1st on Gordon and that might get you somewhere.

    Rockets have no salaries to match unless they give up a core piece, which would be a lateral move or a step back.

    Thank you, Tilman!

    Covington still has +$25 mil owed to him for the next two years after this one. You still need salaries to match. those 2 picks aren't gonna do it. I'm not sure why people are getting their hopes up for significant players with high salaries. The rockets don't have the assets/salaries.

    The buyout market has pretty much been the most realistic avenue, thanks to Tilman

    We might have interest in Covington, sure. We also have interest in Anthony Davis. I have interest in the SI swimwear models but I'm too old, out of shape, poor, and, uh, married. So....

    Salaries don't match anywhere, unless you send out Capela as part of the deal. Which would be like cutting off your foot just so you could try out the shiny new prosthetic..

    Jordan Bell, Robert Covington and a First Round Pick for Clint seems like fair value.

    ESPECIALLY if we can find a trade for a player like Nerlens Noel or Holmes elsewhere for a second rounder.

    Think you underrate Capela but at this point I'm cool with whatever. Do what you got to do Morey. Who cares anymore. Shake it up!
