Francis makes $16 Mil and Juwan makes $7 Mil....even if we traded everyone on the roster but Yao and T-mac we couldn't make that work. $16 Million for Francis is just stupid stupid money.
There were only 2 PG's on that list...one made more than $10 Mil...and the other one I listed as a great possibility in the $2-5 Mil range. I was saying that many of those better players would command $10 Mil...I'm not wrong. The only guys the Rockets can sign are guys that make $2-4 Mil or so. Almost nobody is in our price range...was my only point...
Look at my previous post. I said I would go for 11,12, those two we are affordable. I am not wrong either. Actually I'd prefer MoWilliams than MBilbby as he can penetrate, dish and finish layups.
arent chris mihm and nick collison free agents???? ill take them as our power forwards. mihm is long and athletic and collison bangs around and gets boards. any takers?
1. Acie Law 2. Travis Outlaw 3. Chucky Atkins (Steve Blake would be nice, but obviously the Nugs are gonna keep him at all costs) 4. Matt Carroll 5. Chuck Hayes (KEEP HIM!!)
2007 NBA Free Agents http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2654216 I think we should go after Andres Nocioni, he can shoot the 3 and rebound. PJ Brown can also rebound and help us at the PF position. Steve Blake can be a come off the bench or maybe even start for us. I would love to see Mickael Pietrus or Matt Barnes on the Rockets. Tarence Kinsey is my sleeper pick because he reall played well at the end of the season. The player to replace Rafer is Mo Williams. Hes really quick, he can handle the ball well, and hes a scorer. He averaged PPG 17.3 | APG 6.1 | SPG 1.3. I wouldnt mind having Earl Bokyins either. He averaged PPG 14.6 | APG 4.4 | SPG 0.8. What do yall think? I really like Mo Willliams. Do you think any of these players can fit on the Rockets?
We could keep rafer and have Mo Williams potentially. Rafer would be a great back up, or even remain starter with Mo Williams getting Sam Cassel minutes as a reserve. I like Matt Barnes alot more than Mickael Pietrus. Steve Blake is alot like Rafer (decent passer and ball handler, but streaky shooter who can't drive to the hoop and score consistently), so that doesn't excite me much. Nocioni would be nice if the price wasn't too high. Earl Boykins shouldnt be more than a back up pg. His size is just too limiting against good teams defensively.
All these players will be great except for one problem. They will all get more than the MLE. Mo williams will get close to $9m to start with. Earl Boykins is basically a black hole on offense, nice to have as a spark off the bench , somebody will probably overpay for him. Chicago will not let Nocioni go, he's part of their core. PJ brown is pretty much washed up. Blake is the only other legit PG other than mo williams in this years FA class, he will likely also get more than the MLE.
