    Seems to me that the veterans you want to compare all have similar career arcs. You must be gambling on House becoming more than a role player. GAry Clark is a rookie - nuff said.

    Did you see Nunnaly's shot? That thing barely kisses the net on the way down. Give him a few more games and most everybody will have forgotten about Danuel House.

    I'm 100% certain he will not play as well as he did in the 12 games he started. Everything I said still makes total sense. He is already a better defender than Ennis, and at worst a slightly lesser shooter. Clark could end up being better than all, but Clark is locked in and a rookie and he is going to be a 4 because he's not quick enough for 3's.

    Even if you drop House's 3pt average TEN PERCENT, he is worth a few million for for his effort of defense and 35%+ 3pt shooting. Look at how expensive it is to get a 3&D wing.

    Having said that, it is also possible he will improve offensively attacking the rim.

    You know what a few million is? It just means between the worst NBA player (who should get minimum) and less than the average player (who should get $5.8m MLE). Is House not better than the worst and below average?

    Not at all. I'm just gambling on House being better than the worst contract/players in the NBA. Is there not a good chance he will do that?

    The point here is, you attributed ALL of House's success to everything other than House. That's not a reasonable position. If it all has to do with everything else, one of Ennis/Clark/Green would be able to outperform him while they're on the same team at the same time.

    to me he was awesome.. i particularly liked the prospect of him being a creator and rim attacker

    however i dont have any insight in these financial matters or if his good play is sustainable or if he will be able to replicate it somewhere else... i saw ppl regress more than 10% in the past from what they were able to produce during a month
    i trust morey the same way ppl trust 3pointers are more valuable than midrange

    There is no way Ennis and Clark can replace House this season.

    Both Ennis and Clark have very weak fundamental skills.

    Why are we risking disrupting team chemistry when we have just started rolling? Morey's getting too cute here

    I think Morey's the best GM in the NBA. Doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes. If House is better than the worst and below the average player, he is worth more than the minimum. If he's a minimum level player, why do we want him for 3 years? If he's going to improve, then why would he accept a contract that doesn't? It's just total nonsense from the front office, the amount of money they are aiming to save here is not worth losing a rotation player mid season - even if it were a replaceable one.

    Also, there's no need to trust 3pters over midrange. It's a proven fact that they are better shots, even if some minority of mid range shots are better than some minority of 3pt shots. You didn't think I'd let that one slide did you?

    So is there any chance this guy suits up for the Rockets again this season?

    Ok, I am sure this has been explained before but I just missed it.

    IF nothing happens with House this season and he just finishes the season on his 2-way on the Vipers, what is his status? Is he a UFA or RFA?

    He will be an unrestricted free agent in that case. Other teams cannot claim him out of the G-League because of the contract, and House is not eligible for the playoffs because his days are used up

    He'll be a RFA if the rockets convert him to an nba contract for the rest of the season. I think the deadline for that is mid march. and yes he would be playoff eligible if/when this happens

    House wasn't actually offered a fully guaranteed 3 year deal. The offer included dates he could be waived by before the future seasons became guaranteed.

    The one important skill Danuel House has shown is an ability (via his agent) to reinforce the "Tilman is cheap and we're doomed!" narrative.

    well this goes along with the 2 offers that were made. First, the non guaranteed one which goes along with this.

    Then you have the 2nd final offer of a 3 year guaranteed
