    Apparently finding him isn't the problem... keeping him is. The Warriors and the Lakers both already had him.

    But he'll give you 15/7 shooting about 36% from 3 and defending at a high level. The money is crazy, but at least you are getting a 27 yr guy who should be hitting his best years on this contract. I like him a lot.

    I don't even know if the Rockets will sign Bazemore.

    However this isn't as simple as "Bazemore for 19 million".

    If the Rockets sign Bazemore, they are likely going to move Ariza and Brewer.

    The net cost will be around 4 million dollars which will allow the Rockets to make other moves. Bazemore is an upgrade over Ariza and Brewer. Bazemore is still improving and likely to be more productive under D'Antoni. He is also a sizeable improvement defensively.

    I just checked bazemore's stats.

    They are identical to Lin's.

    What the Hell is so special about this guy that yall want to give him 20 million?

    are we that desperate for a move that you guys think bazemore has high upside? hes a solid 3 and D guy, nothing more. not exactly a great shooter either.

    Baze might score 18 a game in this offense... He might blossom into a really good player.

    Offering Lin 15 mill might be a safer deal and I hate Lin.
