    So if we get rid of Delfino and Brooks, does that mean we keep Robinson because we have enough money to offer Dwight the max?

    No. We can just waive those guys, but Morey is trying to get any value left out of them

    Nope. Need to cut/trade: Brooks, Delfino, Robinson, and Anderson to have max cap space.

    Surprised they are trying to trade Delfino. Understand if waived he could sign with someone else and Houston would get nothing, but a trade would guarantee we can not reacquire for a year. Thought the Rockets would have interest in resigning later in FA

    Wait. I don't think we have to cut all those. We can just structure a deal to offer max (while going over cap..) I am almost positive about this.

    I wonder if there is any inquiry on T-Rob from other teams? If I were Morey, I'd call up Atlanta and ask if they want T-Rob for Muscala or I'd call up Boston and see if they'd want him for a pick and cash considerations.

    Defino will be replaced easily, look for our draft pick Canaan this yr to contribute in his role.

    Still, I'll miss the guy.

    Due to the Salary Cap not being around $60 mil as estimated, the team will still be a little short to offer a max contract after trading Robinson. This is why Anderson will probably be cut or traded if they can't move our #BeWell friend.

    Morey looking for another "asset." Likely a future 2nd round pick. Due diligence. Worth a shot, but unlikely.

    I promise it will work. Let the guys who get paid the big bucks do the contract and we will all see lol. I PROMISE. The contract can be configured a certain way. We don't know the REAL numbers as well.

    Well today is the last day to waive Brooks and Delfino.

    From tomorrow I believe their salaries are fully guaranteed.

    If they are not waived, does that mean there's a deal in place to move them?
