What's the plan for this offseason?

What exactly is available for us to go all in for? We have no cap room this summer so we can use the Non-Tax Payer mid leval exception which is worth 5.1 million this summer. I think the Rockets also have the Bi-Annual Exception which is worth 2.1 million this summer.

Is there someone the Rockets can get that will push over the top for 5.1 million dollars a season?

The Rockets team salary this summer is about 63 million with the ability to get it down a little but not much unless they make a trade. If the Rockets have any hope landing Love or LMA in 2015 they have to be careful of how they spend their money. Does anyone really want the Rockets to just use the MLE to prove Morey is willing to spend Les's money and end up sacrificing any chance of landing the final piece to the puzzle in 2015?

If the right guy becomes available (someone that can nail 3's like Ray Allen in the clutch) then I would say absolutely spend the money. I think you need to figure out who you are willing to sacrifice the summer of 2015 for and if they become available then go for it, if not then stand pat and wait another year.

The Rockets can reasonably clear up $20mil in capspace this offseason at probably the cost of 1 future 1st round pick and their own pick this year. by making a deal simialr to the Warriors-Jazz deal last year for them to sign Iguodala. If the Rockets do create $20mil cap room, it leaves them with Beverley, Harden, Howard, Parsons, Cannan, and empty roster spots. If they keep Terrence Jones they'd have about $18mil. If they keep DMo or this year's 1st in addition to Jones, and it's about $17mil in capspace.

$20mil is probably necessary for Melo if we wish to sign him straight up. $17mil may be enough for Bosh.

What's the plan?

Go all-in for the next 3-4 years

Keep future flexibility open

Both methods are fine
