Aaron Holiday stays with Rockets

I wonder if they have his bird rights, or did they have to use either part of the MLE, or BAE is what I'm wondering, I liked Holliday, he played well last yr, good for mentoring, also can be used as part of a potential trade at the deadline, maybe?

 

I have no concerns about giving Holiday $5 mil for this season. I’m assuming next year is team option or non- guaranteed. Holiday shot well last year and is an excellent 15th man on the roster. I was thinking he was more in the neighborhood of $3 mil per but as long as it’s effectively a 1-yr deal I’m good with it.

 

Could be, but for who?

 

Good signing. The depth is needed and Reed will probably be on a Cam Whitmore rookie minutes trajectory assuming no injuries.

 

Very, very interesting.....I didn't think about that.

 

FVV and a pick for KD?

 

This only makes too much sense.

 

Third string pg + expiring salary for trades. If you are worried about Reed getting affected by this then you must have been panicking about Sengun when we signed Landale.

 

I think it is simple. We are trying to build on last year. We need salaries to aggregate and we want a stabilizing option at back up pg. I still want Amen getting A LOT of those minutes though.

I love Shepp I don’t see him playing a lot this year. I want him playing starting pg in G league.

 

Even more competition for minutes now. Either we are loading up to unload a lot for someone or ???

I think they used the BAE, but that would require rounding from $9.56M to $10M.

 

Keeping our 2nd best shooter.



Now, all of our guards can shoot...except Jalen.

I count Amen as a forward.

 

Or, keeping a solid end of bench player? Is that not possible Clutchfans?

 

I suspect Holiday is here to backup PG until Reed is ready. Also, if the Rockets actuallly make a trade, they will likely still have depth to be a deep team.

 

Sheppard won't be an NBA starting PG to begin next year, maybe not at all. It's okay to give him time to breathe.

Like Tate he fills a depth need and possibly becomes tradeable salary.

 

3rd string PG. One of our best shooters last season. Makes sense.

 

When Fred Van Vleet and Aaron Holiday were on the court together, the Rockets had a Net Rating of +13.2

This was easily our best backcourt last season because both can shoot.

 

This is great news. I want all mins to be earned via meritocracy this season. Whoever sucks can just play in GLeague or chill on the bench.

 

Thats not a problem anymore IMO since we got lots of shooters now.
