for some reason i feel like it will be Conley.. I think he was on 610 or somewhere on the radio and he said they will for sure meet with someone when free agency opens (he said we always have)
As much crap as I will get, I would like to bring either Batum or Parsons (rather have Batum but Parsons would be fine as well) and Lin. Lin's game has improved yet he still needs to work on his TOs. His penetration prowess will help free up others and he understands MDA's style. Parsons has the length to play the 4 and stretch the court.
He just bought a house 5.9m near LA. looks like lakers have sort of commitment with him. - per twitter. So you can scratch that one out.
I guess I'm just a little worried that the nobody wants to play with Harden rumor may be true. To not have even heard the Rockets name mentioned as being connected to any free agent seems odd.
In case anyone is interested, this is Kevin Pelton's stat based assessment of top free agents that came out today. Spoiler
I got some rumours: we will re-sign Motiejunas, Jones, Terry, Josh & just roll with the same group. Last year was just bad luck.
The free agent class overall is weak! Other than Durant, missing out on this years free agents would not be that bad of a thing. Could someone provide an explanation of how the increased salary cap could be applied in the trade market. Would we have the same amount of money to take on contracts via trade for Ex. A Eric Bledsoe for Corey Brewer trade. Talent totally aside here, basically we would be taking on extra salary and giving less out in the trade salary wise. Also with Andre Drummond whose a restricted free agent, could Houston offer him the max and back load his contract like they did with Jeremy Lins.
I feel like Morey hasn't played his hand because he wanted to see if Durant was still a possibility. Maybe he's still trying to get on KD's radar? But with that pipe dream likely dead, I'm sure he's working on other big fish in the free agent market. I'm sure Horford, Conley and Anderson are all on his radar. But I wouldn't be shocked to see him make a play for Whiteside, Fournier or other guys instead. It's a little odd that the Rockets haven't been linked to any free agents yet, but I'm fine with that. Talk is cheap, and for every star player they've been linked to and actually signed, there are a dozen guys they were linked to and signed elsewhere. As long as they add a legitimate No. 2 this offseason and add some shooters to the roster, I'll be happy.

Dont think you will see alot of fans watching this group again, it will be twice as worse with d'antoni. Rockets should just make Barnes there first priority. Split the other money with Bradly Beal. Let Harden run the point. Dudley would come over with beal. Trade ariza and beverley for Eric Blesoe Harden/Bledsoe Beal/ Harrison/Dudley Dmo/ Capela/ To me thats just a killer team, i mean bledsoe off the bench, less playing time more resting, less injury. would work great.
