    If he were bought out, which I strongly doubt, but just say - - would he be eligible for a return to TheToyShop? What are the latest CBA rules thereon?

    well judging by the amount of posts that continuously bring up the same thing over and over and over when it has been addressed clearly

    Good to have the son of former Rocket Glen Rice on the team.

    My mistake even more of a reason can't put the blame all on Ariza. He wasn't the only one missing.

    Good for Trevor! He already won a championship, Suns offered him crazy money and it's only 1 year. I am surprised as he's good friends with CP3 and Harden and while he was good, everybody knows he had his flaws and we definitely could've used a more athletic wing who can hit the 3 over 35% in more than 1 game in a WCF. He only had one game with a positive +-, which was Game 2 and he was just not giving us enough. We will definitely miss him though if you think Mbah a Moute or Green can make us forget about him, then you're in for a wake up call. I am excited to see a change though, 4 years of someone at SF who cannot really dribble nor is a threat to go inside is enough. This year he did get better though. Nothing but love for him, good luck to him.

    The Rockets needed to *add* rotation players. Not replace them.

    They are not closer to beating the Warriors like this.

    Exactly. The Rockets need to add "playoff worthy" rotation players. Not just regular season worthy....playoff worthy.

    So, right now, they are are down 1 player. Need to add at least 2 playoff worthy players now.

    I love Ariza, and hate to lose him despite his catastrophe in game 7. I appreciated all of the things he did to help win games.

    But with our tax situation, paying Ariza 15 million, I can see see why we wanted no part of that even on a one year deal.

    Phoenix is the real chump here paying this bum $15M to steal minutes from their young guys.

    Would like to see vet min for Anthony Randolph or Perry Jones III for this very reason, need length to guard KD, especially during postseason will need waves of length.

    Ryno for Batum is a trade I'd do before Ryno for Bazemore.
