    Hamilton is an unrestricted FA. Powell is, but unguaranteed.

    After the first 6 players, the rest of the list looks depressing...

    if there's no roster changes till midseason, hopson and gee should be gone. 3mil is too much for cheap ass morey lol and even then, he might wanna paly overseas or something, i don see him as the type of player to just ro ton the bench. i dunno what powell can do now in his career, but every team needs 3 pgs and 3 centers. if clint gets any burn he's gonna be a 4/5. he's only like 220lbs.

    Guaranteed contracts :

    Howard
    Harden
    Ariza
    Papanikolaou
    Jones
    Motiejunas
    Capela
    Dorsey
    Adrian
    Smith
    Canaan
    Daniels
    Johnson

    Non Guaranteed contracts :

    Gee
    Hopson
    Powell
    Beverley
    Covington

    Free Agents :

    Hamilton
    Garcia

    Our roster with all guaranteed players, and Beverley who is non guaranteed.

    Beverley/Smith/Canaan
    Harden/Daniels/Johnson
    Ariza/Papanikolaou
    Jones/Motiejunas/Adrian
    Howard/Dorsey/Capela

    So, barring any trades, we have only roster spot left for a non guaranteed player, or a free agent to take.

    So if we looked to sign, say, Ramon Sessions, it would definitely be a non guaranteed contract?

    No.

    We'd have a open roster spot, meaning we can sign anything from a 1 year non guaranteed, to a 4 year guaranteed deal. It's a free spot we can sign a player to whatever we want with it. We would have to cut Gee, Hopson, Powell and Covington by season start though.

    Holy cow this is like the T-Mac/Yao years all over again! Two superstars, one great defensive player (Bev & Battier) and a bunch of scrubs who can shoot threes but do little else. And this Rockets team is young.
