It would be for the LLE, because that's the amount about in difference from the buyout, if I understand how buyouts work correctly. So he's basically priced himself into the LLE with that buyout I think.
would you rather the rockets sign one of the 4s available or try and trade for one? from the given list, i'm choosing trade.
It's interesting that all the articles earlier had him coming to the Rockets, but not anymore. They keep citing LAC, LAL and the Heat ... but not Rockets. Adelman or Morey must not like him. I think he'd be an asset, as long as his knees are OK, and his attitude good. We desperately need more talent infusion, and have so few pieces to deal. He's an easy add. Actually, I don't see James at the PG, but at SG, since I believe Head will be traded. If Francis comes here, I think it'll be more like this: Yao/Deke vet in trade/Hayes/Landry TMac/Battier/Novak James/Wells/VSpan Francis/Alston/Brooks The fact JL3 didn't play in summer league probably means he knows he's gone, so I expect him to be let go. I expect Head/Snyder/Sura and maybe VSpan's contract to be traded for a vet and perhaps another player who can backup C and PF. I'd love Francis to sign for the LLE, and still grab Amir Johnson and a vet in trade, but I have a feeling, all we'll get is a vet PF we won't like that much. It doesn't look like Morey is pursuing Johnson. So, it'll probably look more like this: Yao/Deke crappy vet in trade/Hayes/Landry Battier/Snyder/Novak TMac/Wells/VSpan Alston/James/Brooks ... just a little better than last year, but not much, certainly not championship caliber ... SAS, DAL, PHO, UTA, even GSW will probably be better ... I don't think TMac will be happy, no matter how he puts a good spin on it. We won't have Howard's professionalism in the crunch and Deke will be a year older. Of course, Yao could step up and make all the difference in the world, and having James and Wells, with Novak stepping up could certainly help. It all depends on what Morey does for us at the PF position. I sure wish we'd do what it took to get some key young talent, though, to put beside him, like an Amir Johnson or Cedrick Simmons, who can grow into a significant starter in a couple years, instead of just doing what will help us a little this year. They've got to be building a team that can be with Yao in his prime, or our window of opportunity will fizzle soon.
Yes, because I always like to choose "yes" for any crazytrade. Bring him back and trade alston for Mobley, and sign Cato again, finally we find we stole TMac and MJ from trade at the 3 years ago.
Oh c'mon, ya know the Rockets gotta be looking at this one. Probably will make an offer tomorrow too. It's going to be a crazy summer.
Yes, finally! Make it happen, Rockets. Bring back the Franchise! I think if JVG were still here, it might happen, but I'm not too confident in the Adelman/Morey era bringing him back.
We need to francis back in houston but in the cheapest.. we cannot afford our MLE for another guard..
It sounds like a lot of you would be happy with SF and James as our top two point gaurds. Two selfish PG's that like to dribble the air out of the ball does not sound the like the makings of a winning basketball team. Could make for a good street ball team though.
If we got Francis, I could see our lineup looking like this. Francis, James (I don't care who starts and both can play the 2 sometimes), Brooks Bonzi, Snyder Tmac, Bonzi, Novak PF from trade , Hayes, Novak, Landry Yao, Deke Assets we can choose for a trade for a PF, Battier, Sura, Alston, VSpan,
