    Well then I apologize.

    I can see that but it was meant as a exclamation point to your post.

    Danuel House may have lost his starting spot on a playoff team, playing with the MVP on a galactic run this year and the chance to parlay those coattails to a solid NBA career, and instead changed it out for G-League purgatory, BUT AT LEAST HE STILL HAS HIS RIGHTS

    We'll see him in the big game against the Jiangsu Dragons, god willing.



    - Donatas and B.J

    PS if you call my cell and it goes to VM it's because I'm busy lining up max deals for Draymond Green - BJ

    So if he is converted for the rest of the season is he eligible for the playoffs? I know it's been talked about but I missed it.

    My friend said that rockets would reduce 8 wins withou house due to short staff.

    Playing at euro league he can sign 3year 12 mil. When he returns he gets min salary

    Playing for rockets, he can get 3year 20 mil after 3 years. It’s earning potential.

    I personally seen House's development from high school to now.

    I've seen him wear some bright green shoes in a high school game when he attended hightower, so the kid has always had champagne on a malt liquor budget. Also im sure it's tough seeing harden live at Royal oaks country club and Danuel house probably living in a apartment.

    James Harden left the Thunder over a difference of like $5,000,000. That cost OKC a championship or two.

    Is Daryl Morey going to lose Danuel House over a difference of maybe $1,000,000?

    You know. You struggle to find these rotation players because you don't want to over pay Trevor Ariza. You say, "we can just find a cheaper guy."

    Danuel House isn't a Trevor Ariza, but no matter how you slice it he is cheaper and he has become a rotation player. Even if he comes off the bench.

    Daryl Morey would easily overpay Ryan Anderson or give MCW a contract, but when it comes to Danuel House Jr. A guy who is asking for some of the MLE. That's too much?

    Pay the man. Beggars can't be choosers. At the very worst, he becomes another MCW who is taking up minimal cap space and is unplayable. But at least he's not Brandon Knight who is taking up a ton of cap space and is unplayable.

    So stupid. Even if House becomes a 10th man then it's worth it. Trade deadline is in 3 or 4 weeks. Danuel House better be wearing a Rockets uniform by then. Morey is wasting Harden's prime.

    Guys remember ... In Morey We Trust

    It’s possible Morey has an eye on a 3 for the trade deadline (like Kent Bazemore)

    At that point House would be 2nd/3rd String
    Definitely not the starter

    Let’s not act like House is the long term solution at starting SF

    I think that Morey is making a colossal mistake and it is really ticking me off. We could have used House last night.

    If you put him in any gym, he'll be the most athletic player on the court or somewhere close to the best player. House is just a play maker, so if the coach doesn't cater to what he brings it up to table, then that's when you get to being under-valued.

    The main thing with players like that is the coach.

    House at 3.9 million (full MLE offer) >>>>>>> Bazemore at 18 million.

    It's debatable who's better at the same price tag, then you have to consider we don't need another guard but do need a combo forward with size. Then House is 3 years younger.

    It would be absolutely foolish to let House slip away or burn the bridge with him. I wasn't concerned with the original report, I thought they'd keep negotiating and would land a deal within a week or two, but if we seriously just drop him I'd be pissed.

    This could easily be a case where both parties end up being losers.

    He is not doing himself any favours with his social media activities. I'd like to see him back, but he is ill-advised and not helping himself.
