I recant my earlier statement. If we were going to give up Lowry and another lotto pick to get their 8th then I guess it's fair value if he alone pulls in a lotto pick.
Now I'm wondering about the rockets salaries for next year. I know you must spend 85% of the cap and right now we're sitting at about $29 million in my calculations. Not sure exactly how we'll manage this, especially with Scola also being on the trading block.
Reading half the threads and posts today (aside from the pretty obvious trolling by the usual suspects...) it's really beginning to feel that way.
There's no way they're throwing in Terrence Ross or Jonas V. That's the only possibility that would give me that kind of reaction.
