    VERY interesting that Quarterman and Kelly are still here. Just me spitballing here but they could be other non-guaranteed salaries for an aggregate move.

    Needed to make sure we were over the cap before the trade. Their future doesn't really matter.

    I'm confused. Where's Kelly and that Quarterman dude? Why did we trade our cash considerations rookies for them if they aren't included?

    We have to make sure we are still over the cap when all the mechanisms are done. We have to be over the cap when free agency begins in order to preserve the full MLE.

    Wiltjer is a huge loss. Can we redo this deal and add harden instead ? Going to miss Larry Bird junior.

    @WojVerticalNBA: What's more: Houston keeps its full mid-level exception ($8.4M), bi-annual exception ($3.2M) and a significant trade exception....

    This guy's an idiot. Morey did this deal at this time for one reason: If he waited until he could unload Anderson's contract, CP3 might have changed his mind. Bird in the hand, etc. Now we have a second star AND cap room, out full mid-level exception of $8.4M, our bi-annual exception of $3.2M, PLUS and a big trade exception -- and this bonehead thinks it was a mistake not to wait?
