    This had to be more of a locker room thing.

    I think we might be trying to free up space / money for Andre Miller.

    If Philly claims him then we get a little bit more wiggle room and a little bit closer to the tax line. Doubt we fill that spot.

    I'd take that, esp if we do cut Lawson.

    Isn't this incentive for Lawson to stay with the Rockets? He would have a bigger role moving forward to prove to Summer suitors that he has value...and he will be able to likely make the playoffs, too.

    Yet another reason why I don't see Lawson taking a pay cut in a buyout. We will have to give him the remainder of his full salary this year, but prorated over two years.

    Looking for insiders to claim that Morey is making some under the table deals with the 76ers to save some tax money for Les.

    Lawson sucks though, cutting thornton won't change that.
