It is perfectly reasonable to try and avoid the tax one year of the Chris Paul contract so that you aren't subject to repeater penalties. If they...
He'd likely get bought out by February, regardless. Maybe long before. Memphis would just be taking him on to make the math work and to get a...
Shump would get about $13 million guaranteed this way, as opposed to the $2 million minimum in all other scenarios. It's not a given, but there...
Let me clarify: It would be the dream scenario WITHIN REASON. Anyone who thinks Tilman Fertitta's Rockets are avoiding "even approaching the...
1.) It's July 3. 2.) The article this thread is based on suggests adding a $17M player while sending out nothing in current committed salary.
If they trade for Igoudala with Shumpert's Bird rights, they'll be WAY into tax territory. This level of paranoia after one season in which...
How many players on the current Rockets roster, if money were equal and they were free agents today, do you think would prefer to be in Houston?...
That's fine and I don't entirely disagree, it just seems really weird to reply to a thread about adding a $17-million Andre Igoudala with that.
Minimums and what's left of the taxpayer MLE (after House). But with tenured veterans, like McGee, I think the minimum is actually greater....
This just seems like wild paranoia. I mean, to each their own, but my goodness. They offered four 1sts for Butler last fall, which would have...
Using the NT-MLE hard caps you at the apron. So if you're trying to be cheap, wouldn't the incentive be to use it and implement the hard cap? That...
Using the Bird rights to Iman Shumpert, who otherwise wouldn't factor into Houston's plans, to pay 17 million dollars to Andre Igoudala is being...
I don't know if I'd do it for a 1st, I'm on the fence. But for a couple 2nds, definitely. He's probably a rental anyway due to his age. Also, if...
Did you not read my post? It's my opinion that if the money was equal, roughly half of the current Houston roster would prefer to play elsewhere....
A) Iggy isn't gone, he's property of the Memphis Grizzlies (who have no real purpose for him) B) Shump already is dumped, he's a free agent. This...
As far as dream NT-MLE targets, I'd definitely prefer Marcus Morris to Iggy. But I'm betting whichever LA team (hopefully both) misses out on...
Not picking on you, I know many other people hold similar views... but it's so naive. How many current Rockets do you truly think, if money were...
This is an underrated part of it, for me (especially if Kawhi goes there). Not only does it make your team better, but it prevents an opportunity...
Shumpert S&T possibility is intriguing here.
Because the biggest question is not Butler's level of interest, but whether Miami can put together a suitable trade for Philly that works within...
