[Feigen] Rockets consider amnestying Scola, as talks with the Magic grow "serious"

Rockets have the most assets... and can take the most of orlando bad contracts

Unless orlando wants a 1 year Bynum rental (unlikely as same situation as howard again) we are number one trading partner by far.

Howard
JRichardson
Duhon

I think we take these 3

for

Martin and future picks.

 

Anyone know what Dwight Howards max contract would be, if he signed with the Rockets?

 

Who the heck paid hedo and j rich those contracts who gave them those crazy contracts I know Toronto gave hedo his ???

 

bro cp3 is looking for extension with clippers at end of season. Why give up that great team to play in houston.

 

And for those wondering if we can simply sign Scola after we've amnestied him, consider this:

Amnesty players are strictly prohibited from re-signing with the team that released them for the life of the terminated contract.

If we amnesty Scola, he's gone, and we have to pay the remainder of his contract.

 

+1. I agree as well... Rudy Gay over Boozer.

 

This exactly. I don't understand this strong attachment to players. As good a guy as Scola is, this mentality of "sticking with the good guys" will get us nowhere.

I remember feeling the same way about people that were unreasonably upset in letting Landry go through trade...

 

Idc what happens as long as we dont get turkeyglue

 

The 3 full Bima tweets --

 

i like it , martin almost makes more than richardson and duhon combined

 

Because Howard > B.Griffin... Sure our team depth would not be as good as the Clippers, but who (in their right mind) would NOT want to play with D.Howard and C.Paul in Houston, if this indeed happened?

 

I can't believe people in here are b****ing about Hennigan. Could he possibly be more of a jerk than this guy?

We know how this ends. We eat bad contracts and give up young talent for Howard. And next year, right about this time, he appears in an ESPN special called "The Decision."

Do it anyway.

 

I would rather have Bynum to be honest with you. Isn't Howard expected to miss half of this upcoming season anyway? So we give up most of our assets and take on some ****ty contracts for a guy who may only play half a season and then bolt?

But as others have said, I know it looks troubling on the surface but there has got to be some plusses for us (other than getting Howard). I don't mind getting Jason Richardson back but I am not crazy about Duhon and especially don't want Alfred E. Neumann, er Turkoglu. And I definitely don't want to give up Royce White...that kid is a beast!

 

I think this has to do with wanting to retain Martin as a possible backcourt mate of Dwight's and remember he's an expiring contract. Martin may be Monta Ellis bait.

 

Well if you think about it...

If he won't walk away from 58 million, then why doesn't Orlando keep him?

I mean they know him a lot better then any of us, or even the Rockets do...

I would think that out of everybody, they would be the ones to know that he wouldn't walk away from 58 million, right!?

 

But it does not count toward our cap. We have the cash! No biggy

 

Or he could consider that there is no state income tax in Texas...and that alone would save him millions of dollars.

If he comes to Houston, he's not going anywhere.

 

You know, if you give me enough Boozer I might be convinced to go Gay as well...
