    This is where you take wild guesses, careful deductions, or intuitions on how much the Rockets will offer Luis Scola and Kyle Lowry.

    My guess Scola - 4 years 35 mil.
    Lowry - 3 years 12 mil.

    8 to 10 mil/year for scola, more likely over 9 mil

    4 mil/year for kyle.

    It is not about what Houston gives them, it is about what other teams give for Lowry and Scola

    If someone gives Scola 4 years 40, or Houston matches the offer or don't, letting the player go because they don't want to overpay

    How much both players will earn don't depend on the Rox, what Rockets decides is wether they stay in Houston for X amout of money team Y offered, or will he go to team Y that offered X amount of money

    Hence the word offer. I didn't mention anything about signing.

    It really depends on how a bunch of general managers react when they realize they're not going to get the guy they wanted.

    Scola will easily make 8+ Million a year.. As for Kyle Lowry that is a hard call.. I'll have to chime in later with some more research.

    I'm not him but I would guess that if and when many teams with cap space miss out on premier free agents -> they might become more willing to pay players like Scola.

    4 years, 30 million for scola with a no trade clause. Just get him signed, scola represents what this team is all about, hard work. I heard some commentator say that gasol has the best foot work in the entire NBA. I believe said commentator has not seen a single rockets game. Luis is just inventing post moves on the go.
