    I get sick hearing and seeing this Rhyno news. It is disgusting.
    20 millions for Rhyan Anderson who is horrible defender and always gets injured.

    Horford and Whiteside are both going to command max deals. Even if Parsons makes significantly less than a max, I don't think this is feasibly possible.

    I'd much, much rather have Mirza Teletovic or Marvin Williams as a stretch 4 at $10 million-$15 million a year than Anderson at $22 million-$25 million a year.

    We will be in cap hell within 3 yrs based on the numbers that these mediocre players might get.

    They can forget about KD. Get it through your heads Rockets. He is just not that into you. The only thing that will happen chasing after KD is we will lose out on everyone else because they will be snatched up by other teams. I've seen this story play out over and over.

    This.

    I agree, I don't know why Rockets are going all in for Kevin Durant, but he will never come here. They should focus on other free agents, especially great shooters and most importantly, please get rid of Brewer. That's all I care, getting rid of Brewer.

    Chances of getting first 3? Zero. Chance of overpaying for Anderson? Very high.

    Really now? You have any reason to believe that other than "Oh, woe is the Rockets!"

    Out of all teams, the Rockets make the greatest pairing with KD. Sf/Sg.

    They can eye Durant but I believe the restraining order says they have to stay 50 yards away. That's about how much of a chance we have at him.

    I agree about the Marvin Williams part.

    Here is the screen grab from Hassan sliding into some Lady's dms, saying he's moving to LA soon.

    It goes down in the dms.

    Horford only one I want, since Durant is not coming and the other 2 are nothing special. Anderson can come for very cheap, or else we have that Wiltjer guy.

    JAMES PRINCE come to the rockets rescue!
    It may be a stretch, but since the man has such a big influence in, as well as the music industry, I wonder if LES ALEXANDER will get "J. Prince" to help recruit Durant.

    Someone make it happen!

    Maybe it's just me, but I sure hope not.

    I could be wrong, but Whiteside seems primed to be a player the gets his big contract and then immediately goes back to not caring again.

    And Anderson is injured too often and too much of a defensive liability. His one strength, 3 point shooting, is incredibly streaky and, at 37% for his career, is good but definitely not elite enough to command the kind of money that is being mentioned for him.

    I would rather take my chances in an undrafted rookie in Wiltjer on a rookie salary instead of Anderson for 20+ a year
