Even Mirotic did not get the full MLE. Maybe Pau did.
I honestly do not see how. The Rockets obtained him for a single second round pick in the middle of last season, and McHale just shut him down....
As I see it Harden generates more PPP off of buckets and assists than any other player in the NBA. No middling PG is going to come close to his...
Morey functioned the last half of last season within spitting distance ($1M or so) of the tax. He did not have an MLE target last summer so he...
Smith chose Houston. It had absolutely nothing to do with his salary. The Rockets used the room exception to sign Smith. $2M, the same for every...
Morey just does not care about the PG position. Not a whit. That is the only thing I can figure.
I really do not see why KJ would require anything more than a small portion of the MLE to resign. Houston shut him down after they got him from...
Hasn't that been Morey's plan for a couple of seasons now? I thought it was common knowledge.
How do you know that the market did not set the price?
The Mavs are right around $68M in signed contracts for next season. They may have the MLE.
They still have $19M in cap available.
While KJ performed well for the Sixers for a rookie, it is impossible to gauge how good a player is on a team as bad as the Sixers. The Rockets...
I am standing about 90 miles East of where LMA will be next season. You?
Ariza is the heart and soul of the Rockets defense. No Ariza and the Rockets slip on defense from 6th in the league to the mid teens. Capela is...
In which case you obviously understand little about the NBA and sports franchises. I had sorta gotten that impression from your earlier posts on...
Risk/reward. One problem with his Achilles tendon or an ACL or a foot fracture and he might be done. Only LMA can make that decision.
Unless Les is an owner like Cuban, teams generally do not dismantle rosters the year after they reach the WCFinals or better. To think otherwise...
There have to be half a dozen very successful head coaches in the NBA that learned their craft under Pop. They would probably go with one of their...
I could be wrong, but I thought Pop said he will be gone with Duncan. But the Spurs will probably remain the best sports franchise in the world.
If he had predicted the Harden trade to Houston I would be very impressed though.
