Alright, which big NBA name enters free agency in 3 years? Ariza, Bev and Brewer contracts ends in three years and that equals to about 22 million. James Harden's deal ends in 2018 so we are possibly making sure we have enough cap to sign him back and another star in that same offseason.
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo 33s34 seconds ago Rajon Rondo to sign one-year, $10 million deal with Kings, source told Yahoo
Thats better. If he falls in perfomance too the last year ung. Will make him a trade chip. This is peanuts in the new cap. Who will get cousins? Thats the question. Smith will be much harder than brew and bev coz the difference in money should be the most.
Bev just retweeted this, haha <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Patrick Beverley confirms that he was in advanced talks with Sacramento, but then ultimately agreed to the deal with the Rockets.</p>— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/status/617108400116252672">July 3, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
So the Kings news on Bev was a leak to prod Rondo, maybe, which might explain taking the unguaranteed year w/Hou? Either that, or the Kings were too cheap to want to pay Rondo, and relented when Bev dumped them.
DeMarcus Cousin's contract ends in 2018. When Ariza, Brewer and Bev's contract ends too. Morey setting up to be players for when Cousins' hits free agency? Of course, its a long ways away but conceivably we can be players for Durant's free agency, keep Dwight another couple years then let him go to get Cousins. Big 3 of Harden, KD and Cousins 2018!! LOLOLOLOL
Think he loves being here in Houston...And we love Bev. Wished the dude was healthy for the playoffs...The Rockets needed his edge...
Its not only that. The new cap has made deals crazy and next year it will be even worse. There is a very high probabillity that the owners will force a locjout in 2017 and that could mean a comoletely different game.
