The NBA rules do not allow that. The Rockets were over the cap and I doubt they had an exception large enough to fit NAW's salary or matching salary that Rockets were fine losing.
His defense is visibly much better last night. Hope it's a sign he's getting back his mobility and timing.
agree but need to see several games of good shooting from bari. Tonight is a start. Bari isn’t coming off injury.
You were saying? Also we signed Capela and did the KD trade before FA. Imagine how hosed the Rox would be now without Capela when Sengun sits down Unc Jeff or Tate will be the C lol.
All yall surprised that dfs can cut need to watch his highlights. DFS opens up another avenue for our offense when he’s fully healthy.
He is playing at a fraction of the cost cuz we cut him. He was making 9M a year as a Rocket bro. He is also playing well cuz getting cut and getting a massize paycut prob made him realize he needs to get his rear in gear or he is out the league. Thats like saying Lillard is playing for vet min when Milwaukee is paying him 25M a year.
didn’t stone sign him to the bloated contract simply as a possible salary cap filler if a star became available for trade? i think he did that with uncle jeff too
It wasnt a bloated contract it was an unguaranteed contract. He was coming off a season where he just put up 6/4 in just 16 mins in the playoffs on 65% FG. His contract was unguaranteed after the first year so we can cut him if there are no suitors. Thats why he got to sign with Memphis on the cheap but his salary on the Rox is more than Capela.
