We had all 4 of those players on the team literally an hour ago.
Ennis and House (who will now sit out to save Tman money) were rotation players. Keep defending the penny-pinching though.
Good thing absolutely none of the Rockets players are injury prone. Might as well only have 8 roster spots, really. Could save more money.
“Eric, I know you’re hurting, but we’re saving the owner of this team literally thousands of dollars by extending your minutes!”
Yeah, who would be dumb enough to think hampering the future by trading Melton, a first round pick, 3 second round picks, and a large expiring...
“Sorry, fellas. Gotta shorten this rotation to save the owner money.”
Yup, the Rockets gave up 3 2nds and a 1st to “get better” lmao Please, keep going.
He didn’t turn them into anything but savings for the owner and had to give up picks to do it (Bucks just picked up a starting caliber PF for 4...
Tman sends out 3 2nds and 1st to save money. Bucks send out 4 2nds for Mirotic. Get used to these sorts of moves. Bulls fans have been living...
Look at all these contending teams making moves to improve instead of looking to save their owners a dime.
Dumping Ennis provides no flexibility. It does give the team that just blew out the Rockets another rotation player while the Rockets lose one.
Will Timan use another first round pick to dump Nene or will he downgrade Gordon to Replacement Level Player #13 to slide under the tax? This...
Tilman needs his pennies and brainwashed fans need to defend him. It’s hilarious.
Shumpert one year removed from being dumped by Lebron because he was unplayable is the savior of the Rockets season haha. Completely brainwashed...
No they used a first round pick (and a second) to dump Knight’s contract. Replacement Level #12’s expiring was just what the Rockets had to take on.
Very solid defender against guards. Rockets will be playing him in the forward spots for the most part where he’ll give up size and rebounding.
Possibly dump Gordon’s salary to slide under the luxury tax and replacing him with another replacement level player like Shumpert. Maybe a Moe...
Lets Ariza go, picks up Ennis and Shumpert... Could have traded Nene, Ennis and Chriss for Shumpert and kept the first round pick. LOL How long...
Sure, it would be nice for the Rockets to get under the tax this year since they have already spent Melton and two picks to dump salary. But just...
Now I actually feel sorry for the fans who honestly think this trade deadline isn’t about saving money for the Rockets. It’s sad.
