Well, looks like we will be hard capped. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rockets rookie forward Montrezl Harrell, a second round pick, is finalizing three-year contract, a source told Yahoo Sports.</p>— Marc J.

Yes, 3 years or less makes you a RFA at the end of the year. First round picks are RFA at the end of their 4th year.

Win now baby. Besides, the last move that triggers the hard cap shouldn't be weighed over the previous moves.
Hmm, so Morey is hard capping himself for Harrell? Ok, well, I guess that means they really believe in the kid. I just hope they are right. Personally I like the move. I think Montrezl is going to be a good Rocket, and that this three year contract will end up being a good investment. I'll definitely be going to see him play when RGV come to Austin to play the Spurs D League team here.
Glad it's happening, though I was leaning toward giving just the one year deal and going forward from there. But I ain't mad. Welcome to the team, rook.
