Rocket Salaries

your link doesnt work, its just a bunch of stars

 

Patricia's site is more accurate.

They have Ward listed at 3 years and Sura listed at 4.

 

I like that one the best..

 

I really like Patricia's site as well. Click here

 

Player option would indicate that it's not the team that makes that call, right?

 

I've always been under the impression that it was a team opt

 

Well it looks like we have a lot of expiring contracts. I really don't mind or care about how much Juwan makes. It'd be nice if he gave me some...I think Mo's contract is outrageous...well he was supposed to be good but injuries and etc...

Juwan's doing fine imo..he can be a solid player for a few more years..

I hope we can somehow get some good players like Stromile Swift and Bobby Simmons..and draft some young players with potential..can we do it?

 

exactly, the contract length and amount pales in comparison to having the year by year breakdown that shows how much is committed up to about 7 years in the future. very easy to figure out how much expires and when. also i like the color coding for team option and player options and qualifying offers and such.


which will free up about $12-13M, we will have a lot of room


it may give us another 12 or 13 million we can spend on different players at that point but it won't put us significantly beneath the cap, if it gets us beneath the cap at all (which i don't think it does but can't remember exactly right now). a lot of our contracts are up within 2 years but by then yao gets his extension and for us to have any real significant cap room we would have to get rid of basically everyone but yao and tmac and maybe one other person, which isn't really feasible in terms of fielding a team the following year. our best bet, imo, is to use every expiring contract that comes along (wesley and spoon first, taylor next) to trade for talent to fill in around yao and tmac and then rely on the MLE for other FA acquisitions.


edit: we're at 37M right now after that year but that's with only 5 players under contract and ming only listed at his QO of 7.237M instead of the max contract that will be starting presumable in the 11M range. if the cap doesn't go up much we won't have much more than the mle to offer and that's if we sign no one else.

we could potentially be rid of mo at that point but who knows what type of salary we get back for him.

 

It's been said before, but if we trade Mo for an expiring contract of similar value- that much money comes off quicker, plus spoon's expiring contract-allows money to sign Yao to the Max, but not cap relief....

Field remaining team from role players and older veteran minimum contracts-short term of course, not like signing Ward for 3 years..

 

I have hoopshype bookmarked

I know of three sources, hoopshype, Patricia's and clutchfans for the rockets contracts. All three are different for Sura & Ward's contracts. I wish hoopshype was right because that shows a team option for Ward next year.

 

Well, at least we're not the Knicks.

Man we got to trade Juwan and MoT and Spoon. Has anyone seen Gaines? Damn it must be SWEET to be an NBA SCRUB.
