    Without peeking, I know for sure Ariza. I'm guessing also Bev and Gordon.

    Harden is worth every penny, but it cannot be considered a bargain given how much money he's making.

    EDIT: Ok, I was right about 2 of them. They said Harrell instead of Gordon. I was gonna mention him, but I thought they wouldn't include rookie contracts, especially for 2nd rounders. Those are too easy.

    I agree with all three but Capella's contract is better than any of those and he didn't make the list.

    If he stays healthy all season and keeps up this scoring pace, he'll be on the list next year for sure.

    That should tell you that he wouldn't be a great contract unless he's making vet minimum.

    I am surprised Brewer did not make the list.

    He plays for 29 other teams on $9MM per. What a bargain contract.

    Really, truth be told, they listed 6 of our Rockets. Ariza, Bev, Harrellz (the z is silent), Nene, and Capela.

    Guud jawb Moarney!

    Pat Bev is the biggest discount. Best contract.

    Lock down defender and he's making less than $6 million a year. and Non-guaranteed last year contract.

    Morey is a genius.

    I have no idea why Pat even got connned into the deal. He would have made $10 million easily and guaranteed. Morey
    conned Pat into a non Guarantee last year deal.

    Even freaking Garrett TEmple got $30 millions GUARANTEED>

    GARRET TEMPLE FOLKS, not DEAN GARRET

    Isn't Capella on a rookie deal? He's signed what everyone had to sign

    Steph is making 12 Mill this year?
    Does he settle for the same next year. . . or is Golden State about to go through Cap Hell?
