    Does this minimum have to be reached by the Beginning of the season? And do the Rockets have to maintain that minimum amount through out the whole season even after the trade deadline? These are my 2 questions if anybody happens to know the answer let me know...thanks.

    It is at the trade deadline when it counts.

    Not a bad idea. We could also force teams to make some tough decisions that could affect their cap situations in future years. This would help to hamper some competition for future free agent pools. Here's a couple of players that might be interesting.

    Solomon Alabi (C) RFA Toronto

    Jerryd Bayless (PG) RFA Toronto

    Danny Green (G/F) RFA San Antonio

    Ivan Johnson (PF) RFA Atlanta

    Brook Lopez (C) RFA Brooklyn - Offer him a max contract. When he accepts & they match it, Brooks could then take them out of the running for Howard by refusing to accept the trade to Orlando. How's that for disrupting the media's wish list? :grin:

    Reaching the floor will not be an issue. There is no real punishment if you don't reach it and it's simple enough to sign guys to 1 year deals.

    in situations like this, I always advocate signing the scrub with the funniest name.

    is Pooh Jeter still available?
