The Rockets' Approach This Offseason Might Not Involve Using Cap Space

So, by your own definition you specialize in guessing and speculation. And you admit as much in your posts? Just asking.

 

And dude, would you please put that in your sig?

 

Bima - you get a free ride whenever you want it - your knowledge about cap dwarfs mine. And at times I depend on it to correct my inaccurate statements.

Enough dissension. Party!

 

It is the internet, and a message board, I think you need to lower your expecations chum.

Hate to say it bloke, but most of these posts on CF would be flamed, stomped into the ground and forgotten inside a minute on some other sites.

 

jtr, there was a quote by Nene that hinted (ever so directly) about him being a Rocket by saying how Houston reminded him of Brazil.

Regardless it is over with.

IMO, Morey is a good GM. Not perfect, but a pretty damn good GM.

 

Flamed, again, who cares?

It is an internet message board, not real life, kid.

Kid? You must be joking. And you are saying that CF should aim for the LCD? How ambitious of you. Should I put you in that arena of posters who deliberately intend to post ideas that have absolutely no basis in reality?

 

Put me in whatever classification you want, it will have zero effect on anything.

So, would it be inaccurate of me to characterize you as a poster who just posts small mind farts with no base in reality, hoping to foment dissension and a very limited chaos?

All in my quest for knowledge.

 

You know DD, you could be so much better than that. But hell, I at times love being an arc-angel of chaos. But those times are usually short lived.

 

This seems to be in every other post of yours

 

I am sincerely hoping for a denial on his part. It does not look like it is forth coming. I am saddened by that.

 

This. jtr seems to be constantly looking to show-off and prove his knowledge

 

Keep on fishing my man.

I didn't say they couldn't open up cap space,I'm saying they don't have it now. Any team can open up cap space,but it better to already have it with a .500 team. You know as well as I do that morey didn't amnesty thabeet @5m and didn't play,but now all of a sudden he's gonna amnesty a very productive guy like scola. He had the chance to salary dumb scola to the pacers last yr and didn't do it.

I'm an optimist,but I'm also a realist. There are teams like utah,denver,and portland that have way more firepower than the rockets. They either have better young players,better picks,or more money. That's the landscape the rockets will be competing with in this so called re-load. 2 of those teams mentioned made the playoffs. So say what you will, any so called close deal by the rockets will get trumped like always. Why? Better package. Just like portland got nj 1st rd pick for gerald wallace,but the rockets can't. I just see what I see. Best thing about this is the rockets have 2 mid picks in a deep draft. That's the best route and the other is a pipe dream.

 

I don't think you understand the definitionn of cap space.

 

LOL. I think you give me more credit than I deserve good man!

 

Have they ever gotten rid of the cap holds under morey? So let's say right now they have 8m. I'm taking you guys word because I haven't looked. Let's assume they lose dragic,don't tender lee,let camby walk. What are they left with? 13m is a good number to me. I've said that its the right thing to do,but morey overvalues guys like lee. Those guys are easy to find in any draft. If it were me,I would do that and make a run at brook lopez if he's healthy. 11m would get it done probably and if nothing else, it prevents nj from trading him to orlando.
