what's the market for teams who might need to clear some space to sign other people? that might be our best best when everyone is getting overpaid. get people on old salary cap contracts who are only being traded because their team wants a shiny new toy. if you could get 2 people like that and sign 2 other decent players, that could be a decent team that keeps us at least somewhat attractive for next offseason.

Looks like KJ is gonna get the playing time he deserves by default. Talk about a sad offseason so far for the ROX.
um I love Bazemore and what he can bring to a team coupled with his growth as a ball player..but you let him walk if someone is giving him 17per.
Wow...it appears we were all in for this guy and we couldn't seal the deal....Rockets got used...we just rose his value.
What are you talking about?? We have done well in FA and trades, maybe not so much drafting but still we put together a team that managed back-to-back 50+ win seasons. Last season was a fluke and definitely assisted by a string of bad luck, but it was only one season. Let's check back on this is we put together a string of losing seasons.
Is 41-41 and a playoffs appearance a losing season? Sure, by our standards it was a disaster but if that's considered a disaster that's not too shabby.
You know what I mean. People forget that we have had winning records the previous 9 years (until this season) and have good players who could have gone somewhere else just as any current FA. I know quite a few teams would like to have our string of bad luck.
Honestly Bazemore at 15M isn't too bad, in fact if we got him at that rate I would be happy. 15M is the new 10M, it's a very reasonable deal for a 3 and D player. Let's see who the Rox end up signing god please no Ryan Anderson.
Bazemore's price was acceptable with the newreality. You can't call that overpriced. But he turned us down. Now what? Crabbe? E.Gordon?
