Literally LOLing at folks acting like Beverley, Lou, and Harrell were magnets for this.
If you think the Rockets and Clippers were Chris Paul's only suitors in 2017, that's just ridiculous. And if you think running it back after a...
They could not have "easily approached" Redick's deal on an annual value basis ($13.3 million), which is what matters most. And most people around...
1.) Can't give 3 years to House with the BAE. 2.) Redick and Lamb each went for double-digit millions, which priced out the Rockets even if they...
That's fair in a vacuum. But again, with the limited amount of teams that have paid the repeater tax, not sure why we should hold them to a...
They got one pick, not three
The action at this point is that they're literally negotiating with Memphis as we speak to try and hammer something out for Iguodala. I mean, if...
False, as far as "avoid paying tax" being the reason. They didn't use it, because Morris and Matthews thought the fits in OKC and Indiana were...
1.) Cap holds for picks in the 20s are quite small. 2.) OKC is the one example (exception to rule), and there have been plenty of rumors that...
1.) How many teams around the league have paid the repeater tax? 2.) They tried to go deep into the tax last year, but the deals didn't...
Because they think Iguodala is preferable, and they can't get Iguodala if they use the NT-MLE or BAE. You don't have to agree with that, of...
I'm always process over results, until the results happen over a large enough sample. To me, one year isn't that. I guess if you want to go...
It is perfectly reasonable to try and avoid the tax one year of the Chris Paul contract so that you aren't subject to repeater penalties. If they...
He'd likely get bought out by February, regardless. Maybe long before. Memphis would just be taking him on to make the math work and to get a...
Shump would get about $13 million guaranteed this way, as opposed to the $2 million minimum in all other scenarios. It's not a given, but there...
Let me clarify: It would be the dream scenario WITHIN REASON. Anyone who thinks Tilman Fertitta's Rockets are avoiding "even approaching the...
1.) It's July 3. 2.) The article this thread is based on suggests adding a $17M player while sending out nothing in current committed salary.
If they trade for Igoudala with Shumpert's Bird rights, they'll be WAY into tax territory. This level of paranoia after one season in which...
How many players on the current Rockets roster, if money were equal and they were free agents today, do you think would prefer to be in Houston?...
That's fine and I don't entirely disagree, it just seems really weird to reply to a thread about adding a $17-million Andre Igoudala with that.
