The Rockets will not exercise their team option on Francisco Garcia for 2013/14, tweets Mark Berman of FOX 26 Houston. Given the price on the option ($6.4MM), the decision comes as no surprise for a Houston team that will have the opportunity to clear more than $15MM in cap space this summer. With Garcia heading for unrestricted free agency, Houston will have about $39.33MM in guaranteed salaries and $9.18MM in non-guaranteed salaries remaining on its books for next season. Some of those non-guaranteed contracts, such as Chandler Parsons' and Patrick Beverley's, seem to be locks to become guaranteed, while others aren't so certain, as I outlined when I previewed the Rockets' offseason.
When Howard's happy, hes the best Center in the game. Period. Our team would enable him to return to his cheesy ways and back at his old tricks. He's slowly seeing the light.
Cyber, is this new 95% number Jim Buss threw out today a new revelation or is he just blowing smoke to the media?
I'd imagine if it was true the vegas odds would have drastically shifted. Those gamblers have their sources....
Dallas is awfully close to the Rockets on Sports Book's odds. I really would like to know what gives them such a good chance of getting him. I just can't seem him leaving LA to go anywhere except Houston or Atlanta (with CP3)
I think it's because it was one of his destinations last time. (It's also a good way for the bookmakers to make money, lol)
I didn't even notice the start date, just a weird time to bump it. Thanks for the clarification, sorry for the confusion.
70(Stays w/ LAL)/20(Houston)/10(elsewhere) Tempted to raise it higher, maybe 80(of staying in LA). 80/10/10
Not after dinner with Harden and Parsons Harden will show him the best strip clubs in town and Parsons will teach him how to handle his 5 baby mommas Houston 80 / 10 / 10
Dwight will pu$$ out. The spotlight and 'pressure' to stay in LA and not turn his back on this most glorious and storied franchise rolleyes:) will be too much to bare. Like I've said before, he SHOULD choose Houston for basketball reasons. But he won't. I think we should go after some PF talent and let Dwight simmer in his own misery.
Dwight will get free dinner off Harden and Parsons or whoever, and a free iPad from Morey. And no, not Parsons but Royce White will teach him how to handle 5 baby mamas. But really, Houston is not the favorite. I tend to agree with this. I don't see him leaving. (Seeing is believing, I guess. When he leaves LA, that's when I'll believe it.)
When is Dwight scheduled to come to Houston for training with Hakeem? Is it early June for 2 or 3 weeks? Maybe something will happen then and we'll know better. Anyone know where they train? We should bring him some candy and cake.
I imagine Hakeem's house is pretty big. Does it have a pool? We could send the POWER DANCERS!... and Clutch the bear!
It's basically a muslim villa (mosque and all), can't imagine he nor his wife would like that too much.
