    1) Sacramento so far has been saving 10 mil in capspace to match Seth Curry who is RFA. Ever since they broung in Castanella they have gotten very smart with their cap usage.
    2) It's impossible to get Ezeli an RFA for just our capspace. We will have to overpay for that.
    3) I read that Zaza doesn't want to play in the NBA again but I'm not sure about how reliable is that info.

    We should imo focus on getting Aldriche coz we absolutely need a starting C.

    the 6 is toronto and DD is Demar Dechucker.

    No. No. No. It's clearly ty Lawson. He quit drinking and is always now the designated driver. I think it works cause harden loves drinking champagne with big booty b****es at the strip clubs so ty could be his chauffeur. It's all quite simple

    Damn Nicholson just signed 26/4 with the Wiz. We should be the ones doing these deals instead of paying for the hospital brigade.

    Rep I think these are your last signings. If rockets want to trade brewer + bev 1st for Rubio and bring Gentile over might work money wise

    Really wish there was a way to get Gasol. He would move the needle. But I'm guessing a trade for Rubio is most likely.

    I get Anderson and Gordon are injury prone but the Andrew Nicholson's of the world aren't moving the needle either. All else being equal, Anderson and Gordon have the capability to make this a special offense. It's up to Jeff Bzdelik to get them to buy into team defense.

    At the end of the day, whether the Rockets spend $133MM or even more on free agents, it's Les's money to spend as he sees fit. I just want them to win and whatever it takes to make that happen, I'm supporting.

    DD could also refer to Orlando 7footer Dewayne Dedmon?

    Given the market, I thought that was a great signing as well. Less than half what the Lakers paid Mozgov per year.

    What about Boban? Will the Spurs match a 10x contract?

    This was a steal for the wolves. At that price I would've gladly had him here eating some minutes at the 5
