Amick: Rockets pushing to trade for Iggy, hope to sign Chandler, no longer working to extend coach

"Sign-and-trade contracts must be for at least three seasons (not including any option year)"

What I missed was that the last two years can be non-guaranteed, which essentially makes it like a one year deal, so that does make this doable. But it's not "so inaccurate its funny". And I understand how bird rights work. Thanks.

 

Unless Morey is trying to finesse Josh Jackson this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Even trying to sign Tyson Chandler, Koufos is younger and more skilled. I don't understand but let's let the "genius" work and see where the chips fall

 

Isn't Tyson Chandler like 100 years old?

 

Cuban won a championship

 

We should have gone after Grant and Noel. Iggy and Chandler? Oh man, please.

 

IDK if Iggy at this age is worth a 1st unless it's heavily protected.

There has got to be better vet min players out there other than Chandler right? Isn't Noah available?

 

But but but nobody who might want Iggy has any picks left until '32...

 

Don’t be disrespectful. He’s 96

After acquiring Russell Westbrook from Oklahoma City, the Rockets‘ top priority will be to find a way to land veteran forward Andre Iguodala, writes Sam Amick of The Athletic.

According to Amick, Houston continues to push to acquire Iguodala from the Grizzlies via trade. The Clippers are also known to be among the most serious suitors for the former Warrior, Amick adds.

In order to match Iguodala’s $17,185,185 salary, the Rockets or Clippers would have to send out at least $12,185,185 in salary of their own, which will be difficult, but not impossible.

Los Angeles could use Maurice Harkless‘ $11,511,234 expiring contract, but would have to include at least one more piece (likely either Jerome Robinson or one of their 2019 draftees), and can’t aggregate Harkless’ salary in any deal until September 6 after acquiring him last Saturday.

The Rockets, meanwhile, probably wouldn’t want to move Clint Capela, P.J. Tucker, or Eric Gordon for Iguodala, so a sign-and-trade involving Iman Shumpert could be their most viable path for matching salaries. Shumpert would have to sign a three-year contract in that scenario, but only the first year would need to be fully guaranteed. He could sign for exactly $12,185,185, and presumably he’d be open to the idea, since he won’t receive that kind of money from any other team as a free agent.

 

Is that supposed to be an argument FOR signing him??

 

Yep, should've had Grant as a part of the Wesbtrook trade, i wonder if we could've get him without even adding another 1st but just 2nd/s and cash or a young player...

 

Mebbe Billy Donovan will become available...

 

It's about winning titles

 

Anyone know what happened to Faried?... His game meshes well with Russ.. Especially starting the fast break!

 

He didn’t stop anybody this year did he?
His only good series was against Houston..
4 years ago was good time to acquire iggy

 

Ironically enough, he won it the same way Les did.

 

I would rather move him for someone else. Covington would be ideal, if the T-Puppies want to deal, and they do, if the rumors are true. We have an issue, though. Our 1st round picks are no longer an abundant resource to add to a deal, if needed.

 

Rockets are going to really good I’m not a Russ guy but I do think this will work.

Plus I think Harden will off ball more since Russ can actually beat his man off the dribble and create for himself and others.
