    If that's true (I trust you more than my GF), I'm almost positive Morey will sign him.

    STFU.... you know and understand very little.

    You prolly started watching the Rockets when you heard we were close to a championship. Like last year.

    Don’t forget to trade away future assets. Warriors are so good this year, it’s absolutely vital we get worse next year!

    Sometimes a team has only a couple of years chance to win the Championships in 30 years.
    I don't think Tilman really cares. He cares much more about money than Championships.
    I lost my confidence. I don't ever believe that there is a chance to be "heavy favorite" to win Championships in the next few years.

    He should keep Knight, then deal Knight/Nene/picks for a good player in summer and pay luxury tax.

    I’m sure Morey brought this obvious path forward up and was quickly shut down by Tilman. The Rockets will be under the tax again next year.

    On march 13 China CBA ends regular season, so I assume someone coming from that league, we already brought Beasley back to NBA.

    why don't you STFU, or better yet just place some posters on ignore if you're unable to control yourself? your habit of unwarranted attacks on posters you don't agree with here is a multiyear campaign that should have gotten you banned by now

    Capela could miss his incentives on purpose and Paul just sends 1 mill to Capella bank account in offseason

    Hell, Peoples' go to argument for CP3 taking max possible money is that he is the President of Players association and its his 'Job" to get players the most money and would look bad if he didn't do the same. Cp3 could just take his contract but pay other players under the table if they signed a "cheap" contract. There are ways around this and still 'look" like you did the right thing as the President of players association

    "Heavy Favorite" LOL
    Warriors have been called one of the greatest teams of all time
    and you expect the FO to construct a team to be a HEAVY favorite over them.
    That's so funny you should take that act on the road.

    With basically this same group (last year we were
    - 2-1 regular season vs GSW last year
    - We had a 90% winning percentage when James, CP and Clint started (best in the NBA)
    - We had the best record in the West
    - 1st seed in the West
    - We had GSW down 3-2 until CP's hammy went down
    - We took them to 7 games and maybe could have won if refs had decided not to take over

    That 90% winning percentage was with ALL 3 of our big 3 healthy and starting.
    We still have those BIG 3 and the core of our team from last year (and MORE)
    It's just that Clint is injured right now and his absence affects our winning formula.

    Let's just give it time until Clint comes back and see what we've got.
    Winning cures all

    Would a MLE deal be prorated as well? What would a prorated, full MLE deal look like on the last day of the season?

    Bima said we'd have 2.5 mill left our MLE on the last day of our season, if the prorated number is low enough, I'd love to get House signed for next season.

    If the salary for this season would be "2.5" mill before being prorated, his salary for next season could be 2.6 million, with an additional year player option of 2.75 mill as an incentive/insurance.

    Clint took less money than he wanted because no one else would offer him the money he wanted.

    Tell Clint Capela to stop wasting his thumb. Tell CP3 to stop wasting his hamstrings. Tell Gordon to stop wasting his knees.

    Now run along.

    Vet min is $8.5k, so I'm guessing the rest of the MLE is somewhere around $20k.

    1/177th of the total.

    According to Spotrac we have $3,901,664 of the MLE left - divide that by 177 and you get $22,043.30.

    You were close at $20k
