Are the contracts of Brew/Ariza/ Bev really sweet deals now ?

They are highly tradeable

 

def teams should be jumping all over that. i dunno why he had to overpay 2 injury proners. the only thing i can think of is cuz of their horrid playoffs. but plenty of others had bad playoffs and still got paid so if they can hurry the **** up and give morey a call that would be swell

 

Not for Brewer, because he can't play basketball.

But yes, apart from that.

 

While it's true other teams have contracts of similar value, all contracts signed before this summer are instantly more valuable. The ones that extend the longest have the highest value all things being equal. In three years a deal for someone like Ariza looks like Curry on his current contract.

 

I wish we would have signed more guys on deals like this last year.

 

Brewer, Ariza and Bev are really sweet deals right now, even Brewer who was pretty much treated like nuclear waste last year should be extremely movable, just look at the threads being made in the dish the going rate for free agents are now 12.5M minimum, so a guy making 7M isn't so bad for 15 mins a night. Ariza and Bev in particular should be extremely sought after considering you're getting a starter quality player for 7M, in fact apart from guys on rookie and superstar deals I don't think you find a player who gives you as much value as Ariza right now, 3 and D player who can drive it in and dunk for only 7M? Comparable guy is Kent Bazemore making 17M a year...and that's at a discount since reportedly Lakers and Rox offered him 18M. Bazemore is definitely younger than Ariza and is probably better but is he more than 2x better? LOL!

I'm just not sure what you can get for these three guys though because:
1. Rookie deals and picks probably became even more valuable now, I mean if a bench dude is gonna cost me 10M once his rookie deal expires then I'd rather fill my bench roles with 1st and 2nd round picks.
2. Most teams are throwing out money like candy on the streets. The impact from their ridiculous spending should only be evident by midseason when these teams realize paying players significantly more doesn't result in a corresponding increase in their ability.

If ever the Rox are gonna move these guys the best time would probably be at the trade deadline, but to be honest why trade these guys now just keep them to add depth to your squad at a discount so you can afford to pay other guys. Since we failed at attracting a superstar and we don't really have high picks the only way to maximize value is sign guys like Bev or 3Za to undervalued deals and increase the team talent that way.

 

Hopefully with a direction on offense, Brewer can be relevant again.

 

Beverly, Ariza, and McDaniels are on good deals. Brewer should pay to play.

 

Agreed. Really hoping we can find a team dumb enough to trade him to.

 

Many teams don't want to hit a salary cap floor tax penalty... So I don't know how that works.. Remember there's a whole lot more money coming in from network deals.. Owners are required to pay a fair share or close to it.

 

If a team doesn't hit the floor then the difference is spread evenly amongst their players I believe. It's not a penalty. The rush to meet the floor is just logic of it will be spent anyway might as well try and get another player option.

At some point that'll stop and you'll just have teams near the floor with more cap space than most next year.

Ariza, etc becomes valuable to the extent they are actually good players. They're not now overpaid and a team can use them then yeah they'll net you something.

But OP is right. It's not just the rockets with these players.

 

The only direction I want Brewer going is off the team.

 

great deals, but none of them help us win. screw everything

 

Man, when did being a Rockets fan become about tradeable assets and not about wins and losses?

DD

 

Myopic

 

Is this the last year on Ariza's deal?

 

Brewer sucks. They got to find a way to move him.

 

IIRC we were hard capped last year, so we couldn't really have signed anyone else.

 

When players started sucking and our only hope is to make them tradeable assets to get more wins than losses..
