    So, this:


    One of the most cryptic free-agency news posts that I've ever read. What do you think this is referring to? The Chris Paul deal? Or something beyond? "Horde" of teams involved.

    [Lock if posted. Things change by the minute right now.]

    It's a masterpiece because Paul opted-in and Morey is collecting all of the unknown non-guaranteed contracts from around the league for cash?

    All of those players can put on their resume: "I was directly involved in the Rockets' championship dynasty that started in 2017-2018."

    You can bet your a$$ there are going to be bitter analysts, owners and GM's out there the next few days talking about whether this should be allowed. Ask Morey if he gives a f***.

    Unfortunately for them, Morey did not acquire any f**** to give with the cash considerations at his disposal.

    I'm thinking because it says "there's a horde of teams trying to get involved", that the surprises aren't over.

    he is probably refering to all the players he is buying with cash, they all have had expriing contracts - he buys them for 100K and their contract value is 1.M - so the trade value is 1M. The team that they get traded to can waive the player and get additional cap space. That is my guess.
