    Seems like we're interested in SFs and PFs. Maybe a trade happening soon?

    The only place Paul would play for Vet min is at LAC, but I bet they even give him a little bit more than that. Then again, I don't think they have much cap space to work for besides giving out min contracts.

    Likely because there are a lot of potential outcomes from this free agency for the Rockets.

    The guy may be 36 years old now, but he's still got some game left, more than many dudes quite a bit younger. A savvy vet who's a leader and knows defense backwards and forwards. If we could pick him up on a reasonable contract for say 3 years, 3rd year team option, why the hell not? A bench mob leader who can step in and be very effective for limited minutes, and start due to injury? Another former Celtic who drove me crazy? Yeah, I could see it.
