    Robbed? He's getting 21 mil over 3 years. We couldn't afford him.

    You do know how a salary cap works, right? Rockets can't spend more than the MLE. Stuckey got a far better deal than expected

    Has to be greater than the MLE. Otherwise I'm not sure why Morey wouldn't pursue.

    I know many might not like this option but Andrea Bargnani would be a perfect stretch 4 for this team and could be had for half or less than the MLE.

    Smith chose Houston. It had absolutely nothing to do with his salary. The Rockets used the room exception to sign Smith. $2M, the same for every team in the NBA. Most teams had that, or much much more available.

    the raptors have if the cap is 69 and they let ridnour go 10 million in capspace.

    That means they DEFINITELY have a deal for a pf coming. Ross for Taj. OR even Ross for jones?

    Jesus Toronto has guards falling out of their pocket. Not fair.

    Lowry/Wright/Joseph
    DD/Ross is not so much.
    Wait till you see what the Bucks and Celtics have. Half the roster guards.

    Morey is still on 4th of July Holiday, in Canada they are working that's why the Raptors were able to sign Joseph

    The truth is Rockets even is not willing to spend MLE on Josh Smith.

    Lowry would be great, but I don't think he has much left in the tank. With he and Dwight I see the Rockets championship window being 2 years.

    To. Get. Our. Point. Guard. We. Must. Make. A. Trade.

    We. Don't. Have. The. Capspace. Just. The. MLE. Which. Will. Only. Help. Us. Re-sign. KJ.

    Why is this so difficult?

    Its becoming more and more obvious that Morey will make a trade, which makes me feel good cause I know Morey will make the right move

    because they are saving it to match any offer KJ McDaniels gets. Regardless if you spend the MLE on Josh or KJ, you are still spending the MLE
