    Miami has "reached out" to the guy as a possible "get" if they manage to move Dragic. Why not steal him from under their noses?

    DLO is going to be traded, and they are saying it will be to Minny and maybe soon.

    Huh? House's contract doesn't cut into the MLE? He was making the min, became an RFA with non-Bird rights, they're way over the cap, and he's now making 3.67 a year, or not quite double his old salary. How are they paying him, if not with MLE money?

    EDIT: so House is getting paid out of the BAE?

    If they end up with Teague and his expiring contract and Robert Covington I'm going to flip out.

    Yeah, that's what I thought. But then I'm reading that the MLE wasn't used, and I got confused.

    Query: are the Rockets even going to pay tax this year? I thought it was a foregone conclusion, but If not, the various exceptions are much larger than if they were taxpayers.

    Nearly identical, plus a year. That should appeal to someone.
