Except, what if a team offers him way more than the Rockets are willing to? What if the Rockets miss out on Melo and other big FAs and don't want...
You are correct that it would not, but a team could very easily say "We want you to sign an offer sheet today. If you don't, we will move onto 'FA...
Very well could work in exactly the opposite way under the new CBA. You only get 3 days to match, not 7. Dwight took until the 6th to decide last...
He doesn't have to agree to the trade destination. The other team would probably want him to, but his options are to sign an offer sheet with some...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And the Bulls have almost no assets. Carlos Boozer is not an asset. Sure one of the Rockets' main assets (Asik) would have to be repackaged to...
FYI, the NBA has a Salary Cap. You may want to look into how that works.
Harden doesn't make $20M and unless we S&T for Melo he won't either. Also, that isn't really true. In fact, if the Rockets don't use the MLE...
0% chance.
Because it is much more likely the offers are much worse and you eliminate all the teams like Boston and Sacramento who are truly taking big...
Off of this (and maybe it is just getting late) let's say we have a call with Charlotte at the draft: Asik and #25 for #9. We have a Lin and Jones...
Ehhh...Dwight always b****es. The guy is convinced he never fouls anyone and is always fouled. Granted this happens a lot more nowadays, but he is...
Now that Charlotte has the #9 pick, what about an Asik swap with them? They need to get to the salary floor anyway. Asik, DMo & #25 for #9 &...
But if you use the MLE this year and don't deal Asik for anything then you can't even offer the max next year in the process of losing an asset,...
I wouldn't say not a chance in hell, because if he wants to do it somewhere else, no one else offers him two young stars like Houston. However, it...
But, we won't be able to re-sign Lin and Asik because they won't want to return. They are 100% gone after this season. I agree that unless you...
And as I say that, unless we can get LeBron, which I don't think is impossible, but I doubt it very much, I think this is the best way to build...
The team as currently constructed cannot win a championship. Adding a real FA won't happen till next season and then the team will lose Lin and...
Minnesota doesn't want and won't take Lin. They certainly wouldn't do a deal without the base being Asik, Parsons, and the 2014 1st. Probably also...
Luckily that is the easiest thing to fill with the MLE. Ariza and Marion come to mind as good options.
