[Official] Rockets Traded Player Exception Scorecard

no backup 4 and roster flux so far in the early season and yet... right in the top 2-3 in the west. that's why you don't pull the trigger until it's absolutely worth it, not just because it will expire. in that case you're letting the clock manage your roster instead of the available assets/deals currently available. the assets/deal always has to be the priority!

 

Predictable. So very predictable.

Next to go Unused/EXPIRED(x3) a year from now

Have the Rockets ever used a TPE?

 

Tillman ain’t doing that man. Taking on more salary? Puleeze!

 

To get Kevin Porter Jr

 

Our owner uses cups from last season. He's poor!

 

As popular with the Rockets as cash considerations

 

Yes. Used their Nene TPE to take in Kurucs in the Harden trade. Also used their Gerald Green TPE to take in Kevin Porter, Jr. So yes, they use TPEs sometimes.

 

I like how you snuck in the "sometimes".

 

WTF are you talking about? Of course, I used the word “sometimes” . . . because they SOMETIMES use them. There’s no sorcery going on there.

 

It wasn't a shot at you.

It was meant as a shot at the organization.

Because they have let many TEs expire in last 4 seasons, during bulk of championship chase.

 

Jordan Bell produced "trade exception" expires today. Go along with several exceptions yesterday.

Parting is such sweet sarrow. Luckily we have the Westbrook, Austin Rivers and Harden TPE's to fall back on.

 

Not so fast. I think the Bell TPE doesn’t expire until Monday!

 

Ummm Houston Rockets spotrac has the Bell TPE expiring today the 20th. Other publications as well.

Does it not, being a business day; push the timeline back?
