I remember the night Dwight agreed to become a rocket those Ass Hats in Utah basically personally cleared all of Golden States cap space almost ensuring they would Land D12 instead of us I was literally livid at my work desk everytime I heard about them accepting another GS player we need to issue a STATEMENT AZZ WHOOPING to those jerks ......in fact just add them to the list of STATEMENT AZZ WHOOPINGS we will be issuing out ( Lakers , Macericks , Utah , Golden State , Etc )
Should've been by 100. I would've watched every second and thanked my lucky stars to be a Rockets fan!! YEAH!! :grin::grin::grin::grin:
Well, they pretty much waste cap space on old and garbage players. That's the punishment they get for trying to screw us.
Actually Utah will be much better than people expect. The simple reason is that Utah and Denver enjoy the best home court advantage in basketball. Altitude. I have them down for 42-42 next season, winning 33 home games. The physiological adaptations to playing at altitude cannot be overestimated. While in the past I have despised the franchise, every season is a new season. Next season they will just be away games that need to be won.They are in that way like every other NBA franchise to me, a Rockets fan.
this is a stretch. teams have to spend 90% of the cap each year. the jazz are tanking and had almost no salary on the books. they needed salary, and took on ending contracts to: 1) meet the 90% cap 2) load up on future picks to aide in the tanking makes total sense on their part and has nothing to do with the rockets. i'm absolutely sure that the jazz weren't sitting around thinking, "lets screw the rockets out of dwight even at our own expense!"
Taking expirings to get over minimum cap AND getting TWO firsts was a great move for them. That 2017 will have value
um i think the main point of that was so the warriors could get iggy...becuase they got iggy just an hour later..lol. also...jazz want us to beat them so that they can kick our ass in 5 yrs.
The space was for iggy, they still couldn't of outright signed him they would have needed a SnT. Anyways Howard said he knew he was signing with us when he woke up, all the reports that said Howard told GS that if they cleared space were he'd sign were BS.
