WORST SIGNING IN ROCKETS HISTORY…..this guy is beyond awful. What a waste of 14 million a year for a career 8 ppg player who shoots 66% free throws and royally sucks. What a stupid stupid stupid move!!!!!
He may be moved but he will not be moved to the Rockets. Adding Durant helps our young guys before they hit their prime giving us a 12+ year window. If we trade for Giannis, we have to give up too much. He turns 31 this year and relies solely on hos athleticism which will be fading in the next 3-4 years. We would trade a 12+ year window for a 3-4 year window, It is NOT happening. Stone is smarter than that.
Cam only makes like 3M I doubt he will be the deal breaker for tax purposes. The vet mins of Jeff Green and Holiday cost around 3M as well.
Assuming DFS is on 12.3M starting salary If we give Cam away for picks, and bring in a 0 year dude, we duck the tax. If we want to add more, we have $10.4M more before the hard cap at the 1st apron (assuming we use Cam as a moving piece). So potentially someone worth under 10M (to give us flexibility to add pro-rated vets. I might just sit on what we have (keep Cam), and think about moving him for picks/ players as the season progresses
what? I don't think they are going to lose an asset to duck the tax. You would do that to avoid an apron.
Last couple years good from 3. Prior to that he sucked at threes for about 10 years. Good player for 3-6 million, awful player for over 13 million and 53 million for 4 years into his mid to upper 30s. Makes no sense.
I love it for 3 reasons 41% from 3 He is a 6’7 long vet And this one has no stats to back it up We yanked him from the Lakers Love it!
Makes tons of sense. D up, learn to shoot the corner 3, cause no issues in the locker room, extend your career by 5 years. Today’s NBA is FANTASTIC!!
Really surprised we’re going into the luxury tax this season. I would’ve thought the plan was to duck this until next year.
I’m guessing you’re wrong….was a real winner and legend for the Lakers and Mavs. What a great career. Maybe he can average 9 points and have the best year of his career and earn his 53 milliion.
