Troy Williams is back

So much versatility. Taylor versus Oliver for the last roster spot as it stands.

Chris Paul | Isaiah Taylor | Bobby Brown
James Harden | Eric Gordon | Troy Williams
Trevor Ariza | PJ Tucker
Ryan Anderson | LRMAM | Zhou Qi
Clint Capela | Nene | Tarik Black | Nanu

 

There's usually waiting period for signings, not sure what it is.

 

Looks like we aren't trying to kill ariza this year

 

I did not expect Bobby Brown to be back tbh.... I guess Paul's influence can be traced here.

 

Unfortunately, our coach is still D'antoni..at the top in NBA history known for short rotations along with McHale.

 

I want both.

15 man roster (after Carmelo trade).

PG: Chris Paul / Isaiah Taylor / Bobby Brown
SG: James Harden / Eric Gordon
SF: Trevor Ariza / Mbah a Moute / Troy Williams
PF: Carmelo Anthony / P.J. Tucker
C: Clint Capela / Nene / Tarik Black

G-League: Zhou Qi, Cameron Oliver

+ 2 way contracts (Chris Johnson? L.J. Peak?).

 

This would be the ideal roster going into the season.

 

Thank god, playing a 13 year, 32 year old vet 35 minutes was ridiculous, I hope his minutes drop around 28 mpg this season.

 

If training camp started today: Guaranteed- 11

PG: Paul
SG: Harden, Gordon
SF: Ariza, Tucker, LMM
PF:Anderson, Qi
C: Capela, Nene, Black

4 spots available for 8 players-

PG: B. Brown, Taylor
SG: Quarterman
SF: Williams
PF: Long, Oliver, Uthoff
C: Nanu

Likely cuts-

Quarterman, Long, Uthoff

One person out of this group will get cut-

PG: Brown, Taylor
SG:
SF:Williams
PF: Oliver
C: Nanu

My guess is Nanu at this point, but I'd assume that a trade could happen, and I'd think he's a player they'd like to develop another year.

 

I wonder how much Carmelo Anthony will like to guard opposing PF or be guarded by them.

All the available data says that playing PF would give a guy like Melo (and his team) a big boost offensively. However, going against bigger guys also exacts a physical toll and even LeBron doesn't enjoy it.

 

My guess is Nanu gets one more year of seasoning. He's only 20, so I would assume the Rockets knew he was a long term project, not the kind of guy you give up on after a year. I think Oliver is out, but Taylor could be traded (with Ryno) or cut if the Rockets get one more vet PG.

 

Yes! Troy has the biggest upside in the team in my opinion..

 

I think Oliver gets cut and the 300k is to play and develop with the RGV Vipers. Taylor looks like a 2-way. There is also the possibility that Onuaku is traded in the Melo deal creating another spot.

 

The Troy Williams signing now has Houston with 13 guaranteed contracts. The Rockets have $115M in guaranteed money and are $4M below the luxury tax and $10M below the hard cap. The Rockets also have five players on partial/non-guaranteed contracts.

 

No one did **** in the summer league. If they were basing off sl no one would get signed

 

He barely played last year, he isn't gonna be playing much this year either.

 

I'm somewhat pleased with this addition too. Troy has decent potential on D, and on 3 point shooting.

 

D'Antoni be like: I'm Dine

 

Its about to go down

 

Troy has big time 3/D potential. Long, super athletic, and good shot mechanics. Jumper just needs to develop.
