    That deescalated quickly. ;)

    Paul George. Blake Griffin. Paul Millsap. Carmelo Anthony. Kevin Love. Serge Ibaka. ... to bargain hunting.

    Thanks Ryan Anderson.

    Who else where you going to sign? He is basically the only player with his skill set at his efficiency

    Jedi mind games. I can see Morey signing Dunleavy and Ilyasova.....but only after nabbing Melo.

    Knicks will blink.

    CP3/ Isaiah Taylor...(EGo??)
    Harden/Tucker/.......(EGo? Trying not to trade EGo for Melo)........wish we could bring over Jon Diebler
    Ariza/Tucker/............Dunleavy................................................wish we could bring over Alessandro Gentile
    Melo??/ Ilyasova/.....Dunleavy..........Zhou Qi, Oliver (new CBA allows Houston to go from 15 to 17 roster spots)
    Capela/Nene/Chinanu

    Question I have is when do each of the contracts become guaranteed. Kelly is July 7th. What are the other dates...

    And without Ryno?

    We're a 6th seed and get bounced out of the first round? CP3 never wants to come here. Melo isn't even a pipe dream? We don't get Tucker. Nene doesn't want to take a discount to play for another team that's a first round exit.

    Fair enough but the thread title and post accurately reports what he said and what feigen is reporting. He may be bluffing sure that's always a possibility

    Paul / Taylor
    Harden / Gordon / Quarterman
    Ariza / Tucker / Uthoff
    Anderson / Qi / Kelly
    Capela / Nene / Onuaku / Long

    15 man roster + Oliver / Peak etc from summer league.

    So he likely makes a trade with the NG contracts soon IMO.

    imo, Bima is also wondering what Morey means by that statement, as the NGs become guaranteed.

    The $9.75m "TPE" loses roughly $2.6m of its value July 7th, Kelly. It loses more every time one of the NGs becomes guaranteed.

    Should get rid of Harden and Nene as well, based on that criteria.

    In fact, Klay should be an easy get. He put up 15ppg on 40% shooting. Since the playoffs are all that matters, it's crazy we haven't made a move for him yet, given his asking price is surely low.

    Well, it makes little sense to the CBA rules. Hence why I said that I didn't come away believing it's the actual plan.

    My very first thought was,,,man, does Morey really think he can fool other GMs that way or agents.
