    I've been trying to find a way to move EG for weeks .... not having any roster spots to break his incoming matching salary into smaller chunks makes it almost impossible.

    I considered adding House to that as a trade piece (that no one wants) I never considered just waiving him outright .... assuming one of the contracts you get in return for EG is someone you would buy out or waive , Waiving House is the key to solving several problems at once.

    He is far and away the best SG the Rockets have had this season.

    It’s going to be difficult to free up roster spot for him. EG’s contract is so big, there are going to be players in any trade involving EG.

    EGo is playing lights out, House or Augustin should go before he does.

    And you are conflating roster spot with contracts.

    EG playing lights out makes him the likeliest to be traded. We may not get any offer for House or Augustin. Hopefully we can unload Theis to a team that has a large enough trade exception.

    The Rox front office has plenty of options. They need to be smart and make the right deal. Matthews needs to have a contract. He is to important for this team.

    honestly i would keep ego forever for the laughs, continuity, and hes infact a very good player, good 3 pt shooter, good cutter, slasher, defender....

    just relieve him of ball handling duties, and instruct him not to interfere with sengod playmaking because thats what hes not good at and causes us to hate on him

    Garrison and Jaesean are those guys that impact the game without filling the stat sheet. Taking charges, hitting timely 3s. I'd say both are single handedly responsible for at least one W on this streak.

    Great mentality.

    He's sort of a Klay Thompson 60 cents on the dollar version right now. I'll take it.
