Ty Lawson traded to the Rockets!

Holy s**t, Batman!

So....in other words....you can flush Ty Lawson, if need be, and use that money to sign Kevin Durant.

This gives us unbelievable options. You could even bring over Sergio Llull now that he has a smaller buyout and can be signed for a little less than Lawson is making and STILL have some extra $$$ for Durant (but I don't want to go down that road too far). Or it forces Lawson to straighten up and fly right or lose beaucoup bucks.

 

2016 Houston 1st.

 

But the rockets control his contract not lawson. It's virtually a team option

 

Daryl freaking Morey!

 

It just makes to much since for KD to come to Houston.

 

Thats one freaking huge unguarunteed contract to send out in a trade for someone looking for cap relief next summer if Lawson doesn't work out!

Yes, the Rockets can provide some team about 15 million in cap relief if need be! Huge Huge Huge trade asset!

 

That last year NG That's huge man, Maurrry is the man once again.

 

Need to re-poll those 20 people.

 

Almost zero risk... pretty amazing Morey

 

well that also means something else.
He has serious enough issues to make this possible.

But now he has all the motivation in the world to straighten up his act.

 

LMAOOOOO Morey is just clowning people at this point

I hope Billy Donovan sucks.

 

unfortunately cap relief next summer will be worth very very little. 15 teams will have 20+ mil capspace. But who knows.

what are the limits for cash considerations?

 

3 mil.
We probably sent them half a million for Prigs is my guess.

 

basketballholic faints

 

do you guys remember when kmart was our best player and our team looked like hot garbage?

man it's great to be a rockets fan these days.

west is ridiculously stacked though. one of SA, OKC, LAC, MEM, HOU, and GSW will NOT make it out of the first round. CANT WAIT!

 

Doesn't seem like the media cares the Rockets got Ty Lawson for a pack of Now & Laters and a paper clip... Oh well.

 

or maybe a million for Dorsey.
