Minimums and what's left of the taxpayer MLE (after House). But with tenured veterans, like McGee, I think the minimum is actually greater....
This just seems like wild paranoia. I mean, to each their own, but my goodness. They offered four 1sts for Butler last fall, which would have...
Using the NT-MLE hard caps you at the apron. So if you're trying to be cheap, wouldn't the incentive be to use it and implement the hard cap? That...
Using the Bird rights to Iman Shumpert, who otherwise wouldn't factor into Houston's plans, to pay 17 million dollars to Andre Igoudala is being...
I don't know if I'd do it for a 1st, I'm on the fence. But for a couple 2nds, definitely. He's probably a rental anyway due to his age. Also, if...
Did you not read my post? It's my opinion that if the money was equal, roughly half of the current Houston roster would prefer to play elsewhere....
A) Iggy isn't gone, he's property of the Memphis Grizzlies (who have no real purpose for him) B) Shump already is dumped, he's a free agent. This...
As far as dream NT-MLE targets, I'd definitely prefer Marcus Morris to Iggy. But I'm betting whichever LA team (hopefully both) misses out on...
Not picking on you, I know many other people hold similar views... but it's so naive. How many current Rockets do you truly think, if money were...
This is an underrated part of it, for me (especially if Kawhi goes there). Not only does it make your team better, but it prevents an opportunity...
Shumpert S&T possibility is intriguing here.
Because the biggest question is not Butler's level of interest, but whether Miami can put together a suitable trade for Philly that works within...
Goran Dragic is a 33-year-old PG (a position where speed is at a premium), and his advanced numbers were bad last year. And it's not a one-year...
Gordon in Houston was slightly better than Oladipo in Oklahoma City, yes. That doesn't mean that Indiana had that same valuation when it came to...
Yes. The first and away top priority for Jimmy in this isn't Houston OR Miami. It's guaranteed money. Don't overthink it, people.
The reason to opt in isn't just about avoiding the hard cap. It's also about making a deal more likely, period, because the team you're going to...
Who, exactly, did Houston have to offer for PG that was anywhere close to Victor Oladipo? Domantas Sabonis has turned into a really good player,...
By that logic, he might as well sign for the minimum, since all that matters is "winning" and he would thus be giving his new team the best...
FWIW, the Rockets and Michael Carter-Williams agreed to a minimum deal on Day 2 last year.
PG was extremely realistic. The Lakers had max cap room, and PG had ties to LA. The larger point is whether the Lakers, with only minimum (should...
