    Waited all day for the trades to happend, and the signings most of all.

    Why didn't the Royce White trade happen today? I had to look at his tweets (I don't follow him) and found out he was in his hometown Iowa!!!

    What???

    Please someone tell me what is going on. Why isn't he in Philly passing physicals so this trade can go through?

    I'm trying to #BeWell, but he is really making it hard.

    If I remember correctly, a player traded has 48 hours to report to their new team for physicals. Royce White likely hasn't reported for physical yet.

    So if Royce White doesn't show up to Philly and goes MIA, we can't sign Dwight Howard?

    No, chances are we then waive Royce and waive some other players as well... Or, by not showing up the Rockets could say Royce breached contract and null his contract. Royce can't screw us here more than he already has...

    Rockets have enough money to sign Dwight even if the White trade is rescinded. The Trob trade freed up enough dough to sign Dwight. no worries!

    To my knowledge we still didn't have full max money. We had something in the neighborhood near it but to get full max we would have had to waive players like Bev.

    He has made a case of making his non-presence felt.

    I'm pretty sure a deal for White structured so that the physical itself is just a walkthru. No returns accepted!

    No. I believe you are wrong.

    T-Rob, White, +waive Anderson and Ohlbrect gives us enough money to sign Dwight to the max with 90k spare.

    Read the sticky thread... Salary cap update.

    Cap came in slightly higher than projected. Beverley and G.Smith's heads are off the chopping block. Unless you think Ohlbrect and Anderson are worth keeping over either of those two.

    They are all non-guaranteed contracts that's why they were up for being waived.

    Royce is trolling Houston to the very end. He's gonna average 20/10/10 just to spite us
