Possibly. But even then, I think they meant a "top player" out of THAT draft . . . which Capela was. (Not THE top player. A top player.)
IIRC, Morey said they had Capela as a (late) lottery pick on their board. I also remember some of the advanced metrics guys (like Kevin Pelton?)...
They traded their 2018 first rounder for CHRIS PAUL. They traded their 2017 first rounder for LOU WILLIAMS. Last I checked, those guys are...
That's for a SIGN-AND-TRADE. If the team signs and keeps Shumpert until he is trade-eligible on December 15, his first year salary does not need...
In your scenario, if Shumpert (or Green) were waived before the league-wide contract guarantee date (around January 7), then only the guaranteed...
Yes, BYC status (if they give Shumpert a > 20% raise, hence the $13.2 million figure) would cause his "outgoing salary" in trades to equal the...
If it’s not a S&T, they can re-sign Shumpert to a deal of any length with as much NG’teed salary as they want. However, if he’s re-signed to...
I don't get why so many people think using the Non-Taxpayer MLE (let alone the Bi-Annual Exception) is easily achievable. If the Rockets just...
TPEs don't count against the luxury tax unless/until they are used to acquire additional player salary. However, for purposes of determining...
The Rockets only have about $565k in remaining cash to spend in trades for the 2018-19 season, so it'll be difficult for them to acquire a 2019...
I’ve barely been able to keep up with NBA draft prospects, let alone football or baseball prospects. That’s why I come to this (sub)forum more...
Actually, that one was a pretty ingenious move by Morey and his front office. I believe the Rockets did NOT have a lot of cap room that summer....
Yes, that’s right. Still, S&Ts are pretty rare.
I’m looking forward to my annual tradition of getting hyped up over a bunch of guys I’ve never heard of in my life, especially any catcher...
Yes, sign-and-trade deals have been very rare under the last two CBAs (2011 and 2017). The Gallo S&T is the only one that comes to mind under the...
The short answer is YES, they can do all of what you describe. But whichever team acquires the S&T’d Shumpert will be hard capped.
Yes. Any team acquiring a signed-and-traded player is committing itself to staying below the apron for that NBA season, regardless of how far...
I totally get "going all-in" during Harden's prime. But go ask the Brooklyn Nets how trading unprotected picks way into the future worked out for...
It is POSSIBLE (under the cap) to acquire an opted-in Jimmy Butler for a S&T’d Iman Shumpert, Nene (if he opts in himself) and multiple picks....
Teams can trade draft picks up to (but not more than) 7 years into the future. Once the 2019 NBA Draft concludes, the Rockets can trade up to 4...
