No, that doesn't sound even remotely right.
What?!?! Definitely wasn't slow or boring. Brandon Knight and Ty Lawson could have been had. Michael Carter Williams and Tyler Ennis, too. Isiah...
Ariza is signed through 2018, so McDaniels would only be here until 2019 on his next contract. Ariza might be able to be traded, but his contract...
Exactly this. And it is why I don't understand it. I think McDaniels gets at least a $4.5M average from someone and a good chance at a poison pill...
That team isn't good enough to win in 2015 and will likely lose 2 of the last 3 for 2016, so...
Even if Dwight plays as good as he ever has in a Rockets uniform, we still can't win anything without someone who can actually create, other than...
The point is the Rockets could have given up the exact same assets as the Heat and it not cost them DMo or the Pels pick. Certainly could have...
Again, Dragic cost two protected 1sts 2 and 4 years away. Far less valuable than DMo or the #13 pick this season.
The Dragic 3 way was with New Orleans, not Milwaukee to get Knight. Completely wrong. John Salmons was the throwback in that deal. Salary filler.
Why would we had to blow up the team? Dragic cost 2017 & 2019 1st round protected picks. That is essentially nothing to try and contend now.
We lost flexibility, actually.
KJ McDaniels trade hurts. Prigioni helps only if his partially guaranteed deal for 2016 can be traded.
He can be offered a poison pill Arenas/Lin/Asik type contract that we are not able to match. And we will have to use our MLE to match, so if we do...
You think they made this trade to free up like $400K? They did not. However, McDaniels will probably leave in the offseason. Terrible trade IMO.
Definitely not. And the weird thing is (IMO) the McDaniel trade makes us less flexible and costs us an asset. I don't understand it at all.
You won't get juicier deals in the summer because that will be a late lottery and other folks will have cap space they dream on. Everyone will...
Agree with all. Essentially no avenue to even be as good next year as the Rockets are right now AND the Rockets are clearly not a Title contender...
Agree, if they can't get Dragic. That salary is actually likely to be a very good value in 2016 at $13.2M. Having Lawson, Harden, Ariza, DMo, and...
I'd agree completely if they still had Varajeo, but they don't and desperately need another big and have 0 other assets. They gave James Jones...
There can be within the rules. The question is how can a team acquire/sign the players within the rules. This would give the Rockets that opportunity.
