you're still gonna have to take things back in return for him. Houston has no need for him, unless you were to take him for something to the tune of Bryce Drew. Chicago has no need for him, and they've already gotten rid of him. Clippers wouldn't dare pay him. Orlando is ditto with Chicago. Indiana would be the only possibility with their exception, but I'm sure they'll be busy with their slew of free agents (Smits, Jackson, Croshere, Miller, Rose, Mullin, etc.) that they won't take on an aging vet, especially if Smits retires, they'll hand the team over to Rose, Croshere, Bender, Harrington, and Best. No other team can take him for nothing, so they won't be clearing that money. ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
Ya and some team that already has that cap space is just going to absorb his salary right? They wont go after any big name FAs they'll just absorb an over the hill PFs contract. Get real "Mr Rational". If a team is interested in Grant, they'll trade the Sonics players that equal his contract, not just eat his contract into cap space. Think about it. One trade mentioned that Seattle could pull to cut cap money was a deal sending Grant and Williams to the Clippers for a second round draft pick and a future conditional 1st round draft pick. ------------------ CC.NET BBS Quote of the week (posted by Jeff): ""Welcome to Houston.

wrong again... It is the Early Bird exception that gives them $4.1m to spend! Please shut up. You know nothing about capology. So, you are someone who insists on talking about what they don't know. That is indeed my definition of "stupidity".
Haypartner, The Sonics can free up $7,000,000, but they probably would have to give up too much to do so. Please enlighten me to what I posted that was inaccurate. Stop your stupid Fly-Bys into this thread. To the admins: This thread is fine and the only spreading of misinformation at this point is by Haypartner. ------------------ CC.NET BBS Quote of the week (posted by Jeff): ""Welcome to Houston.

hp-aelliott has taught you well Houston can offer Mobley that same 4.1 million for the Early Bird Exception. By your logic, by renouncing the 9 million dollar Sir Charles as a free agent (due to retirement) we could then offer Mobley the $9,000,000 max, and still have another 4.1 million left to offer someone else. Not quite the case, is it? ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
wrong again... Shut up in this thread already. Just start one in the NBA area. I read that Seattle Archive. You are wrong! NIKE: here we go. I'm going to keep calling Sky Pilot a Fly-By fool until he stops posting here. I just might hit my 2000 tonight!!!!
Are you telling me that the average salary of an NBA player is now $4.1M? ------------------ CC.NET BBS Quote of the week (posted by Jeff): ""Welcome to Houston. Get out!" (To the mayor of Louisville on his trip to Houston)
ok, now for some more misinformation. We *could* get about 10 million or more under the cap this year, in one simple transaction. We could trade Hakeem's 16 million dollar contract to the Bulls, Magic, or Clippers. But now, is that gonna happen? Altogether now-NOO There are a lot of things that could happen. The Magic could get all the way to the whole 35.5 million under the cap, by "selling" (trading for nothing) their players to the Clippers, Rockets, Pacers, and Bulls. But, is that gonna happen? I will be utterly shocked if the Sonics manage to get under the cap, let alone 7 million under. ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
I guess $4.1m is the now the average salary. Remember that big Heat-Cavs Hot Rod Williams dealing where he ended up being the highest paid player making slightly over $4,000,000? And, another thing, what is it set at (the average player salary for EB). I have heard $3.8m - $4.1m. ------------------ CC.NET BBS Quote of the week (posted by Jeff): ""Welcome to Houston. Get out!"

again admins... we are not talking about the Rockets anymore. Now we are listen to a Fly-By fool slinky- slinking away while trying to save some face for attempting capology crap without knowing anything about it.
I believe the average salary is 3.8 million, but early bird is 15% more than the average salary, which is where they get the 4.1? ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
Hey admin, Haypartner's closed-minded views are trying to be used in censuring me from the BBS. Please alert his parents that his behavior is unacceptable.

I believe the average salary is 3.8 million, but early bird is 15% more than the average salary, which is where they get the 4.1? No. It is the average salary (or a significant raise in the previous year's salary (maybe our resident pre-teen HP can tell you the exact #)) that is used. ------------------ CC.NET BBS Quote of the week (posted by Jeff): ""Welcome to Houston.

I'm not freaking censoring you, you idiot. I'm trying to kill this thread, and asking you to take the Seattle talk to the NBA Thread, which is the appropriately place to spew more of your stupidity. Fill free to take it up there.
Heypartner's definition of "stupidity": The insistence to continue discussions on topics about which you know nothing.
You are acting like an 11 year old, Haypartner. Do everyone a favor and grow up. You should of said: "please move this discussion to the Seattle board", instead you said: "I'm going to keep calling Sky Pilot a Fly-By fool until he stops posting here. I just might hit my 2000 tonight!!!!" ------------------ CC.NET BBS Quote of the week (posted by Jeff): ""Welcome to Houston. Get out!" (To the mayor of Louisville on his trip to Houston)
Haypartner, I don't see you getting on the cases of other people on this same thread who have made false or inaccurate statements. You must be biased against eloquence and intelligence; two things which you clearly lack. ------------------ CC.NET BBS Quote of the week (posted by Jeff): ""Welcome to Houston. Get out!" (To the mayor of Louisville on his trip to Houston)
I did, you idiot. 1. I asked the author to delete the thread after he got his answer, because this thread will feed misinformation. 2. I started another thread to playfully retract this one, 3. Didn't work, you restarted misinformation. 4. I harshly but playfully jabbed at you (which you have shown the willingness to do in the past by calling people "stupid") and wrote this 4. you apparently ignored it in your manner of only arguing with people who you can call stupid. 5. I repeated myself to move this to the NBA Thread, then repeated it again. To me, all that is OK, except for the fact you continue to act as someone with the knowledge to answer the Authors thread...you aren't. That is my definition of stupidity; your insistence. Just let the thread die, or I will be a child just like you. Calling me a child first, does not mean you aren't one as well. I am a child. But with noble causes at least....I will kill this thread, because it harbors misinformation. I am the child that the admins can't be. I can spew child pranks all over your crap. The admins can't.
