    Don't worry, we'll trade away any available picks to send off Tucker/EG/House to get under.

    Your title says the rockets are hard capped and you linked a tweet that says the rockets are 9mil below the hard cap. What?

    Sooo
    Wouldn’t this mean most likely no Jeff Green?

    Cousins I feel can get some mid level money.

    hard capped means we can't exceed the hard cap.

    I’m ok with moving EG IF we can find a suitable replacement and it allows us to use the MLE on Jamychal Green

    Westbrook / Mac
    Harden / Gordon
    House / Nwaba / Tate
    Tucker / House
    Wood

    Waive Clemons, sign Jeff

    Then a facilitator at point, a defensive wing, and a large center who weighs at least 250

    Green needs to be resigned he is an all around glue guy we need him plus Tucker might be out the door. The rest can be rookies I mean we might end up lucky you never know...

    Pistons have probably turned themselves into an East playoff team, so that gives us 3 1sts next year. 2 of those picks have to be on the move with EGo for an UPGRADE, not salary dump.

    The Rockets are not done.

    They ended up paying 4-5 million a year than they could have and it is a set back, but not the end of the world.

    I haven’t heard one way or the other, but I expect they will use the whole MLE on only 1-2 players... ideally one starter.

    Coming into this off season they decided they likely would make a major salary trade, even before the WB/Harden demands.

    Tucker and Gordon and House are the 1-3 most likely to be moved to me (nothing anyone told me), because the Rockets still need a back up point guard and at a minimum one more high quality post defender.

    Keep an eye on Brad Wannemaker for the PG spot.
