I would say that's looking less and less significant by the day. Gentile said no. Papanikolaou said no. Capela will be on the rookie scale. Who knows with Sergio Llull. The only guys in the league worth spending more than the vet minimum are: Jameer Nelson Ray Allen Shawn Marion Al-Faruq Aminu Mike Scott Bledsoe and Monroe will get significantly more than the MLE.

What do you think Cyber....with all these signings by the Rockets, gearing up for a big trade with a bunch of parts?

I mean sure we strike out on Melo and Bosh, but we landed Jeff Adrien, Joey Dorsey, and Ish Smith.....we could absolutely win the D league championship around a core like that.
