Rockets save ~$3M this season (Prince's salary minus Exum's salary) and drop below the luxury tax this season. Rockets save ~$13.3M next season...
Maybe so. But the Rockets not only got a FRP for Allen, they got off of Taurean Prince's bad contract. The net savings to Houston (absent tax...
There's a 52% of the Rockets keeping their own pick if they finish with one of the THREE worst records in the league. If they finish with the...
Correct. The most the Rockets can offer Oladipo right now in an extension (as opposed to during the offseason as a free agent with full Bird...
It's the second scenario in the OP.
No. Can't reacquire Covington for one full calendar year after trading him, UNLESS he is traded again first.
XXX On a two-year extension for Tucker, the most the Rockets can offer under the CBA is just under $20M total. XXX CORRECTION: A two-year Tucker...
Christian Wood is ineligible for a “super max” (Designated Veteran Player) contract, since he changed teams multiple times. Also, you’re jumping...

Great video, Nathan!
You understand this is likely an Exhibit 10 deal that is just to obtain his rights for the Vipers, right? This is not the type of deal you give...
Queen will likely end up signing an Exhibit 10 deal, which can be converted to a two-way deal later if necessary. Martin might sign a two-way...
For now, just vet minimums. But if a major salary-reducing trade happens (Gordon? Blowing it all up with Russ and/or Harden?), then the Rockets...
The Rockets can make as many S&T deals as they want. They just can't exceed the apron level.
