If Khris Middleton became available through the buyout market, would you pick him up? He can still play, he can shoot and he has championship pedigree.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think we could sign him to the minimum even if we wanted to because we’re hard capped.
I thought we could sign a vet min after the deadline due to the prorated amount of the vet min fitting within the hard cap?
I think that's right. But we only have 1.2m in room. The minimum for Middleton would be like 3.6m, which we wouldn't be able to fit into the cap even when prorated. Again, I'm no expert - if I'm wrong, please feel free to correct.
Veteran minimums count as $2,296,274 against apron even if salary is more than that (see Jeff Green's cap hit). Prorated, at some point that fits. Though, I don't think Rockets would want him unless he bounces back.
