    Feigen: The Rockets wanted a 3yr deal for Zhou Qi
    Zhou signs for 4yr deal
    Feigen: No wait, the Rockets always wanted a longer 4yr Deal.

    now in reverse:
    Rockets wanted to lock him into a 4yr deal with partial guaranteed last year.
    No wait, they always wanted the 3yr deal.

    Blame his parents then because they could not wait for a few more weeks.

    Not Morey's fault.

    He can still sign a new deal at the end of this deal... so he didn't necessarily lose anything.

    Don't do it. Jumping off your bed is a permanent solution to a temporary offseason problem.

    Rockets get the deal done for the same non bird.

    And also get one less year on the deal.

    Rockets win the Redo

    Rockets now at 10 players and $109 million dollars in salary leaving us about $16-$17 million before the apron.

    Have to fill 4 more roster slots with talent.

    Rockets still have full BAE and their $11 million dollar NGteed TPE to round out the roster.

    The market for Millsap is drying up quick and the Rockets can look to pounce for say.... $25 million a year in a sign and trade?

    I would rather have Melo.....and would rather trade for him.... butttttt

    Best case scenario, S&T for Millsap, and hope Melo gets bought out and comes to the Rockets. 2 birds 1 stone.

    So, as of today:

    Paul /
    Harden / Gordon
    Ariza / Tucker
    Anderson /
    Capella / Nene / Qi

    So, if we can pull off the SnT, Patterson makes sense to use the MLE on. That is a solid 9 man rotation.

    I know where you're trying to go with this, BUT I can't in good conscience "Like" this .... o_O
    I would definitely give you an "Unlike" if it was possible...
