    I think KJ has a team option for next year and Tyler Ennis' 4th year on his rookie deal was turned down, so those two technically are expirings...

    Wow. Rockets going all in.

    Whether it works or not, I give Morey all the credit in the world for playing the game this time. I think he a learned a harsh lesson from the WCF year where we didn't do much.

    If they are really getting to $10-12 million though it means they are sending out either a starter or EG or Nene. Pretty surprising really.

    I believe Nene is on a one year deal, and Tyler Ennis had his option for next year declined. Not sure about anyone else though.

    Next to impossible unless we include our garbage (Ennis, McDaniels) + other multiple other pieces like Harrell / Dekker. I don't see Nene being added since we have been chasing him for so long.
