I think the Rockets are done making moves. They're stuck with this current roster. The best chance we got for them to win the championship is we need to inject them with a lot of steroids while they're sleeping.
Update on Availble Buyout Players: Marcin Gortat Frank kaminsky (negotiating buyout) Wes Matthews: Signing with Pacers Wayne Ellington: Signing with Pistons Enes Kanter Markieff Morris Ben McLemore Zach Randolph Robin Lopez (negotiating buyout) Milos Teodosic Rumored to potentially be bought out: Pau Gasol Jeremy Lin Dewayne Dedmon Chandler Parsons Vince Carter Jeff Green Jamal Crawford
Add Greg Monroe, Beasley, Henry Ellenson. I believe, that the Raptors have 5 !!! roster spots open so they are obliged to sign 2 players.
Bunch of guys on the Clippers with expiring deals that could get bought out: -Jamychal Green -Garrett Temple -Pat Bev -Luc -Beasley Not sure if they are trying to make a playoff push though.
I can only see Beasley being bought out cause, well, he sucks. But the other guys could be useful if they can resign them for cheap this summer, especially Green, he's not going anywhere imo.
I've asked this before but never got an answer from anyone. Has anyone ever really been bought out of a minimum contract? I really can't recall seeing that (and no I don't want beas lol). Im assuming guys like that just get released?
Not that i know/remember. @YOLO Rose was released after he got traded to Utah (by the Cavs) two years ago, that's at least one i guess, lol.
We could have been playing Gary Clark and Danuel House this whole time . MDA thinks players getting tired is a myth
Given how well Faried has done, the Rockets must continue to target handsome players. Ugly-to-average looking players lack the confidence to play with Harden.
Wilson Chandler played with Mike DAntoni with Iman Shumpert. Wilson Chandler and Jeff Green are really needed for length at the Forward position. James Harden and Iman Shumpert needs to recruit Jeff Green, Iman know Wilson also Jeff former Cavs teammate with Iman, former teammate with Harden on OKC
House is/was a great fit here. With so many hybrid 2/3 players, we needed 3/4 players. House is exactly that in this system. His hustle is what the Rockets miss the most IMO. That guy should be called Crash because he had at least one crash landing every game. Contract situation sucks for this team in general. A started just plucked off the roster because of the business side. What makes it worse is that House was made a 2-way contract because of Gary Clark's strong play. Clark was knocking down threes and showed great instincts to defend on the perimeter and the rim. Then it just all went away. I suppose it's a rookie wall, but the timing is unfortunate. Now, the Rockets are left with a starter with an unresolved situation and a rookie that went from playing better than vets to a development project. House is the perfect fit to spell PJ. He can also spot Shump and Green at the 3 spot. Much like Gordon does for Harden and CP3. I honestly don't know how the rotation will look like now with Rivers, Gordon, CP3, Harden, Shumpert, Green. My guess is that we'll probably see a few minutes where neither Harden nor CP3 are on the floor.
