    A little under the NT-MLE. We might be done unless we can get a sweetheart deal on Kennard or another sharp shooter only type guy.

    He can shoot. Other than KD he’s the only one who can do that.

    Gross! I suppose he is supposed to take Brooks spot at a lesser price but man, feels steep.

    This puts us into the luxury tax, even if we trade Cam for no salary… wondering if this will turn into a S&T to allow for greater raises, or if there are unlikely incentives or something.

    Yeah, for sure. I get that. Who on this team is going to create the open looks for DFS? Solid signing. Not what this team really needed - Another 3 and D player.

    Don't we get under by waiving or sign and trading Landale's 8 M contract?

    Stone and Fertitta are taking the small possibility of a Luka/Lakers split seriously. Good.

    D'Andre ran from Cuban. Dorian ran into the arms of the Udoker! :eek:

    For sure. Maybe it’s nothing with how the cap is going by that 4th year. TO would give us a good tradable contract

    Dillon was 20m he’s 13m. Cheap.

    He’s an actual 3&D player. As much we love Tari he’s too the shooter DFS is and one could argue he is a better defender. This is a solid signing. There isn’t anyone in FA the Rockets could afford that can genuinely create offense themselves.

    If Sheppard makes a big leap in year 2, that will answer your question. We're also not done making moves, free agency literally just started....

    Most likely a team option on year 4
