They're not going to start Harden at PG, and I think it's highly unlikely that they make a push for Beal. Also, it makes little sense to go after Bledsoe and Beal when the front court needs more help than the back court. Why add Bledsoe or Beal to come off the bench when your starting front court right now is Motiejunas and Capela? Also, I'd have to really look at the numbers, but I don't think it's likely that the Rockets could give max or near-max deals to Barnes and Beal, trade for Bledsoe, add Dudley and still have money left over to fill out the rest of the roster.
We are so entitled here at CF. Reading this year's crop of FAs it's not that exciting outside of KD. We need Harden to believe, Pringles to inspire and whoever else is here to hit a freaking shot. Also, no one want to wear our uniforms

So it will be like the coaching Search and wide ranging search.. that starts with Durant (Jeff Van Gundy) and ends up being (ryan anderson) Dantoni Im starting to understand this team HAHAH
No real surprises here, but at least we have some names to think about. The lack of interest in Conley is interesting. But maybe the Lawson experiment turned Morey off to the idea of pairing Harden with another ball-handling PG? Or maybe there's someone else out there they have in mind at PG? Lin? Rubio?
My guess is that it's because Drummond is restricted, and there's not a chance in Hell that the Pistons let him walk. Whiteside is far more likely as an UFA.
LOL I don't see any of those other guys coming here. Will they even get meetings with them? Hope I'm wrong but... And Anderson has been linked to the Rockets by everyone & their mother. Feigen, Watkins, Sporting News...
Anderson has also been linked to the Kings. Also, anyone knows how much money Horford will lose if he signs elsewhere but Atlanta? Because I heard that him and Conley will not likely sign elsewhere because the money difference is too big.
Lin and Anderson. Almost sure things in my opinion. We need a stretch 4 and Lin has good history with Pringles and will sell the tickets that Les so dearly loves. And with that...lottery!
articles like this outright prove that Pelton, his opinions and his Carmelo/Shoene bull**** is rubbish. Sullinger no.8 in best free agent? Dirk with one foot on the grave? Over Derozan and Beal?
I think Whiteside has the portential to be a better overal player than Deandre Jodan- (and Deandre jordan is getting payed as a MAX as well)
I would like Boban on the Rockets also but don't know if he could up with the pace of Mike's offense.
We really are a horrible option but if we had a trade lined up for Bledsoe (or someone else in the backcourt) and a way to dump Brewer, Beverly, and Ariza and an ability to go after Whiteside. It is a lot easier to see Durant considering us and even helping us with Whiteside. This has to have come strictly from Harden and Morey. I am about 85% Durant goes back to OKC on a 1+1 for the money or to GSW about 11%. Rockets I put at about 1%-4% if they have something else cooking. As is 0%.
