    Spotrac runs a little behind actual events. The Rockets were projected to be 320,000 dollars or so over the tax line. Now, after the trade as it currently stands, the Rockets are about 5.8 million below the tax line.

    I've advocated taking advantage of the Pistons for awhile. EDIT: a lot of the other tax challenged teams are either still competing for a playoff spot or are in our conference. Or just don't care about the tax; see, Golden State and Portland.

    If we get Derrick Rose, we can add to our MVP backcourt. :eek::D

    Are his back issues legit, or just trade deadline-related bubble wrapping? I think he'd be a great fit, and I also thought Miami didn't want to deal him?

    Aron Baynes is expiring, plays for a bad team and conveniently makes less than $5.8 million, so the Rockets could stay under the luxury tax by adding him. Looney also makes less than $5.8 million, but he's got an extra year left, and I do kinda hate the idea of helping Golden State.

    I seriously doubt that Riley will do anything to help us out.
