Now if we can only find a way to get rid of Mooch. I dont care about Ward or Baker but please find a way to say bye bye to the little dribbler.
I understand why they cut Spoon instead of Baker - money. I just hope Howard or Swift don't have any significant down time because that would puts Baker on the floor which is a frightning thought. I assume that we are looking to get the best player we can for our LLE, but if we can't find someone, we get Baxter or Glover. Baxter would keep Baker on the bench, but I think we could use Glover to back TMac up. Personally, I'd cut Ward (keeping Moochie and Baker because they have higher contracts to which there is a neverending but slim hope that they can be traded later) and sign Baxter and Glover.
You can go ahead and earmark Spoon's deadmoney on our cap as the slot that will be replaced with Yao's extension at the end of the year. Now we have Wesley, Baker, Ward and Moochie's expiring deals to work with in terms of trades.
Supposedly, the word now is that Hosuton will retire due to his arthritic knees so Isiah gets off the hook if that's true. But if Houston stays around, then it'll be just another nail in their coffin.
We can only take on about 7-8M in extra (past this season) salaries before the Rockets would pay Lux Tax next year. So some of those contracts I would expect CD to let expire.
Spoon gone? Let's celebrate at the Sizzler!! I hope we bring in Baxter or Glover to fill that 3rd string spot.
I understand that its popular to bash Zeke, he hasn't done a bang up job in NY although he didn't come into a great situation. But obviously there's some sort of agreement in place between the team and Houston so if and when Houston retires it won't be luck or getting off the hook.
The one person in the world I would really love to be right now is Spoon. I mean, seriously, get paid 6 mil to NOT do anything? Um, where do I sign up???
I take it you don't value the ability to see your penis while standing up and looking down at yourself.
