    Yeah I’m worried they will get much richer with these buyout candidates.

    Demarre Caroll is with the Nets, he destroyed the Rockets at Houston.

    DJ aint coming here. He's gonna spend the remainder of his time stat-padding in NYC, living that lifestyle and try to get one more big contract before he gets too old.

    Matthews already made it known he's not interested in coming here. He'll join the Warriors first before coming here.

    Lin, Kanter, Dedmon are also buyout candidates but likely won't end up here.

    My guess is that we finally pay House and Morey is completely finished until the summer.

    We should sign him just to counter Cousins. He gets in his head for some reason.

    This might be what Morey is aiming for
    out of those I would like JM Green
    Then maybe DAJ would be great as a backup even if it was just for one year.

    Maybe Ariza or wes

    I think at this point the best we can hope for is Markieff. Also Ariza will not be bought out.

    will the Clippers actually buyout Green? I doubt even half of these guys become available but Morey and the Rockets have been really good this year out scoping out the buyout market. As someone mentioned, Paul and Harden are about as connected as can be in this league so would easily hear rumblings of players about to be bought out and if they would be interested in the Rockets or not.

    I don’t get it. We just got under the luxury tax. Won’t signing a buyout candidate take us back over? Seeing none of those names are big time I don’t understand why one would think we would sign anyone.

    Here's a potential route we could go to add a buyout player and still be under the luxury tax:

    Doesn't matter if they don't choose us .

    Especially now that we aren't going to offer more than minimum
