A S&T means they have to stay below $81 million dollars, so Melo + Pau would require paycuts. They can get Pau by himself though.
Non-guaranteed contracts + 2015 first for Pau (S&T).
I can personally confirm the OP's information is legitimate.
He's credible.
At first I didn't think I'd care if the Rockets struck out this summer. But these last few hours of LOF vomit has really made it sink home how...
No, the Rockets would simply need to be under the tax level after the specific trade. They wouldn't be over the tax level until they re-sign Parsons.
Yes, it is Kevin Love is still under contract with the Timberwolves.
To get Terrence Jones and Isaiah Canaan instead of nothing.
cbafaq.com First: Asik to New Orleans Jones, Canaan, Non-Guaranteed Contracts (Casspi, Covington, Powell) to New York Melo, New Orleans...
I think the biggest issue is asking Melo, Parsons and Lowry to take a paycut, possibly.
The big 5 is barely plausible. The Rockets would need to split ~$38 million between Parsons, Lowry and Melo to stay below the apron.
Fold Asik into a three team sign and trade for Melo using Jones and non-guaranteed contracts. S&T Lin w/assets to Toronto for Lowry. Re-sign...
As a big man with a 30USG%. It must be hard for you to admit that your favorite player -- who is being dumped for nothing but cap space --...
Lin comes off the bench because he's super prone to giving the ball to the other team. That's the difference between a decent 109 ORTG (20%USG)...
Good catch there. Using Asik might allow the Rockets much more time to get a Love trade done since they won't have to depend on New Orleans....
It is confusing, but if Morey's plan is to get Lowry and Love I think it would be something like this: Agree in principle with Lowry on a four...
Well, that's easy: "Do you think Chris Bosh wish he stayed in Toronto?" The end.
Has anyone done the math on what $12 million translates to with Texas taxes?
Interesting that they would trade Butler.
No. He's not good enough at SF to spend that much money on especially as he gets older.
