[2016] July 1st Free Agency Thread

This is why we needed to meet Horford first thing, so we could pickup other pieces if he was interested in coming here. Looks like its Horford/Bazemore or bust now.

 

Remember when the Rockets could get interviews with players? I hope this is a wake up call to Harden, Morey, and Les.

 

What move that has been made thus far strikes you as a game-changing move?

I, for one, am celebrating the fact that the Rockets are operating more under the radar this year. There seems to have been a lot of backlash against DM being on twitter, against the Rockets beating their chest publicly a little too much, talking about ipads, etc. They're still chasing players - Bazemore, Horford - but aren't being out there about it. Good for them. May not result in any signings this year, but then I've seen nothing game-changing happen yet.

 

sitting where the rockets are right now... it may be best to not blow their wad on all these second tier players.

i have a sneaky feeling that after all these signings there will be a ton of trades.

 

Yeah, those were the good old days. July 1, 2016, back when the Rockets met with players.

 

Bucks signing Delly

As I figured, it's gonna be Harden + scrubs + undrafted free agents.

25-57 is a reality.

 

DMo and Cole Aldrich are going to get PAID by someone.:grin:

 

WE'RE SWINGING FOR THE FENCES, BOYS! SWINGING FOR THE FENCES!

 

Magic have re-signed Evan Fournier to a 5 year $85M deal

 

He's worth more than that, and he knows it.

 

I stand corrected. Given the contracts I've seen...

I dunno. Morey... save us.

Brandon Jennings, Bazemore, Horford would make me happy with this free agency
giving 20M to Bazemore sure doesn't seem bad after the Turner signing

 

Do agents even take calls when the rockets call. They are are probably like F those cheapskates.

 

Man we needed to sign delly

 

Can we trade Les? lol.

If we whiff this year and Harden leaves us we are in for some dark days.

 

CyberX has been strangely silent so far.

 

Can we get a basketball super agent Basketballholic insider update or what?
