    Official buyout candidates thread

    Yeah, Lonzo's injury might force that and let's the Lakers look at Thomas. Maybe they can get George in 18 FA, but not LeBron, and they sign...

    Official buyout candidates thread

    Gotta think Frye definitely gets a buyout, but maybe even IT. That would be interesting, even if the Rockets wouldn't make any sense for that.

    Kyle O'Quinn

    Or Black and Zhou Qi or Hartenstein, if the Knicks prefer. I think this is the only kind of trade that makes sense for us with the current...

    [Morey] Chris Paul hopes to stay with Rockets

    Do a lot of people on here just not read? The article expressly stated why the Rockets weren't considered for that ESPN article.

    Les Alexander Rockets profit

    There is essentially no doubt the Rockets were run to be profitable and did just that over the last 24 years. So, yes, it is $2B-$85M, but there...

    The Knicks are getting screwed no matter what

    I think #1 is BY FAR their best option. I think the buy out is BY FAR their worst option.

    Possible Future Owners of Rockets

    Seems unlikely even all of those folks put together would have the liquidity to buy the team. Ferttita is probably the only one who has any real...

    Les Alexander Rockets profit

    I don't think a lot of folks understand the Packers "shareholder" set up. None of the fans who are "shareholders" are really "shareholders". They...

    Melo Deal starting all over according to Woj

    Gotcha. I forgot to double the years before adding the 1. However, that probably makes it even less likely the Knicks would want to buy him out...

    How much do you think the Rockets will sell for?

    My guess is somewhere right around the Clippers number might be a little lower or a little higher, but nothing near $4B some are talking about.

    Agreed. I think we may see a lot more of this around sports. The TV deal bubbles are going to burst at some point in the near future.

    Carmelo Anthony expecting Knicks to resume trade talks, sources say

    Value doesn't matter. He would have no Bird rights to sign with a contending team, after being bought out, if they are over the cap. All the real...

    What is the math then? The Knicks could stretch Carmelo's $54M over 3 seasons. Anderson is owed about $60M over 3 seasons or an average of about...
