    Hartenstein or Claxton would work for us.

    Duh he got a buy out, once you do a buy out he doesn’t count on the salary cap that is one reason to do a buy out

    The buy out is for 6.5 M, not 20 M.

    You can check multiple sauces…. Wall counts $40m vs. cap (instead of $46m)

    I was initially thinking we should move Gordon but the more I think about it we do need some veteran presence and he's one that has actually been a pretty good player in this league. So, he garners some respect from young guys. I could also see him being fine taking a lesser role.

    I wonder if it's possible to not guarantee the final year of his deal but extend him a new contract at a lower rate like 3yrs/$36MM @BimaThug

    I don't think it's fair to him to just let his contract expire this year and let him go without bird rights somewhere. If we won't keep him beyond this year we need to trade him.

    i agree. matthews is definately gone by the deadline. he was being showcased in our tank last year as an asset. KJ needs his minutes, and we can lock up queen.

    Rockets have rim protection issues.

    So solution is to move a dynamic weakside rim protector?

    Get rid of trash Mathews. Keep the younger and better player.

    It's almost like they plan to bring in 2 prized rookie long armed weak side shot blockers!

    I'll believe it when i see it BLERGBLERG

    Yet you used a 0 game stretch to say that Smith was "at best, a role player".

    We need a Small Forward, like Ben Simmons or Jalen Johnson from Atlanta. Tate is not a starting Small Forward he is good on defense but he is short and not a good shooter. He will hustle and work hard on defense but he should not start at all.

    Jabari is better defender and rim protector than Banchero, but would not put his shot blocking prowess at even KJ level.

    TF takes a step forward and two steps backwards. Silas is clearly an insecure coach. He needs help. The kids can't get better on their own.

    Tari Eason can fulfill that role after a year as a SF/ PF.
