    Not sure we will need to give Anthony our MLE.

    The Rockets can always move Gordon to solve the SF problem and then try to solve the back up guard problem.

    There are some candidates out there, but we will need to wait and see. The fact that the Rockets did not feel desperate to keep Ariza or Moute is very telling. They must think there is something as good or better out there.

    Maybe, but it isn’t certain.

    I'd be ok with that. But it'll cost picks to get rid of that Ryno contract. And it would leave the Rockets thin in the front court. They'll need a reliable backup 4 and 5. And that's assuming of course they don't F up the Capela resigning.

    Yeah , maybe we get lucky and qi / hartenstein can handle some backup 4/5 .... I've got no doubt they could be serviceable especially when playing with harden or Paul .

    Maybe mcw surprises as a good wing defender .

    Paul / Gordon
    Harden / Gordon
    Bazemore / MCW
    Melo / Tucker
    Clint / tucker

    James Ennis has a super awkward jumpshot. He did play good D on Harden when he was with the Grizzlies, though. Maybe that's why Morey wants him. PJ was a good Harden stopper and he fits well with us. Ennis is a poor mans PJ, essentially.

    Feigen is reporting the Rockets have offered a 2 year, vet minimum deal to James Ennis. Expects an answer by Wednesday.

    Ariza will replace Ariza in March, after the Suns buy him out and eat his 15M salary for us

    Could argue that MCW and NeNe shouldn’t be in the league, and Green literally wasn’t in the league until we “got him off the couch”.

    Hawks
    In Capela (S&T) & ( Tyus Jones filler)
    Out Schroder and 1st
    Why
    Need a 5 & CC needs to get paid & Schroder wants out.

    Kings
    In Anderson & Hawks 1st
    Out WCS & Temple
    Why
    Hawks pick WCS & Temple are in the last year of contracts plus they picked up a another big in draft to replace WCS. Anderson spacing, home town, and comes off the books in 2 seasons.

    TWolves
    In Schroder, Gordon & Rox 1st
    Out Butler & (Jones & Brooks - filler)
    Why
    Butler wants out. Gives them instant offense they need. Wiggins takes over as their man like he showed in the play-offs

    Rox
    In Butler, WCS, Temple & Brooks
    Out Anderson, Gordon, Capela & 1st
    Then sign Melo
    Starter:
    CP3, Harden, Butler, Melo & WCS
    Bench:
    Tucker & Temple PLUS (whoever DM brings in & coach will play)

    One can dream

    Why is Hood out? Because of the Kings offering him a contract? Is this official? Can't find anything saying they have offered it yet (as a side note.. this would be a great pick up for the Kings).

    Trade Ryan Anderson for Kent Bazemore and sign Melo and James Ennis. Go to war with that against GSW
