In the insanely unlikely event this deal were to happen, they could stay under by waiving and stretching Anderson. Obviously trading Anderson...
To update my OP with Bima's corrections: #1 - We would need to trade Nene & Onuaku, plus forgo signing another minimum player or using all our...
Thanks for the corrections. Forgot about Troy. The QO scenario presumes the Rockets would be willing to max him out or overpay him next season as...
We can withdraw it, but then Capela would become an unrestricted free agent. That's no bueno. He either signs the QO, signs with the Rockets, or...
Let's get some politics out of the way. I have ZERO problem with the FO/ownership ducking below the tax this season, and I DO NOT think that is...
Fair enough, but when the Rockets match, then they have neither Dedmon nor Capela. Maybe they are fine with that...no idea.
I'm not sure the Rockets would mind Capela taking the QO. That, plus trading or waving/stretching Anderson could drop them below the luxury tax.
No way the Kings jump in...they drafted Bagley. Bulls have a lot of money tied up in centers and they just drafted Wendell Carter Jr., so highly...
I wouldn't take Dieng back in a deal for Butler. Posted the following in another thread: I think Minny will prefer established vets to prospects...
That's where i think the Rockets can come in with an interesting offer of cost controlled vets, which I think Minny will prefer to prospects...
More playable wings is never a bad thing. We can't have too many. Id gladly take Young at the minimum.
As time goes by without Luc signing, I think this becomes a higher likelihood. Despite his stats from last year, I think Melo would have a...
Atlanta would probably get a 1st and perhaps Zhou. They wouldn't get a better deal on the market.
Certainly a possibility. The MLE would help cover whatever he gives up. Tucker moves to the 3. I still think Anderson would be moved, and you need...
To be clear, trading for Bazemore is about killing 2 birds with 1 stone...i.e. filling our hole at SF and unloading Anderson.
Exactly, but you don't just look at that in a vacuum. What are your alternatives, and what are their costs? It's not like you can just ignore the...
I think Bazemore is the fallback if a more preferable option doesn't come through. They may have already agreed to the trade, which is why they...
Rockets wouldn't have let Ariza walk (1 year $15 million) if DeMare Carroll was their only other option (1 year $15.5 million).
Gordon + Tucker + Zhou for Butler Minnesota does this because they are looking for immediate help, not prospects or picks. Gordon adds spacing...
I like all of those guys off the bench in well defined roles...and none of them as starters.
