Fine, players signed in the offseason, then: Nene (2016, 2017) PJ Tucker (2017) Luc Mbah a Moute (2017) Tarik Black (2017) Carmelo Anthony (2018)...
Guys who've signed with the Rockets since acquiring Chris Paul who could have gotten more elsewhere (AT THE TIME): Austin Rivers Kenneth Faried...
Nah, I don't have any insider knowledge. I'm just making educated guesses based on certain scenarios and the cap rules that affect those scenarios.
Careful now! @Clutch may just ban you for such blasphemy! ;)
Yes, you are wrong. Any team salary added (whether via TPE or otherwise) will count against the hard cap.
Your calculation appears to be the total difference over the next FOUR years (not five, as you maybe mistakenly put it in your earlier post)....
I think @TheGoldenGreek is talking about giving Shumpert $10m per season, which would not cause any BYC issues. I'm thinking they explore...
Unless its a second round pick, any (one-year) vet minimum contract would count at the two-year vet minimum salary (estimated to be around $1.62...
Nice analysis. Yes, I think the Rockets would try to utilize the Non-Taxpayer MLE to sign multiple players if they were already hard-capped, but...
I hate to burst your bubble, but none of this is possible. You'd have BYC issues giving Shumpert the max. A sign-and-trade of Shumpert must be...
Yes, it would be possible. But the bigger concern is being able to stay below the apron level following the Butler S&T. I don't think they will...
They can offer Rivers about $2.6 million via Non-Bird rights. I’d be surprised if they weren’t willing to offer him at least a 1+1 Non-Bird deal...
Using the Non-Taxpayer MLE or the BAE at all, no matter what your team salary is, will impose the hard cap. Also, unless you’re adding a star,...
Trade WHAT for Butler AT WHAT SALARY? Sign Jordan with WHICH “full” MLE? Depending on these answers, they may not have enough room below a hard...
Taking Green back via S&T would hard cap the Rockets, and your proposed team would likely take team salary above that apron level. Also, teams...
You’d have to wait two months to aggregate them in future trades. Also, they’d need to guarantee any salary they’d need for matching purposes....
No hard cap for sending OUT a player via S&T. S&T deal must be at least 3 years, but only the first year must be guaranteed. Max starting salary...
Yeah, Ponds ranked #23 with scout ranking factored into the math. His top comp in this ranking was Shelvin Mack. Not too shabby. In their...
