I say we do a sign And trade for bosh or Amare Something like these lines scola, battier, jeffries, and pick or two for bosh n filler. Then IMO we should sign mike miller. Thn we have just about perfect line up Brooks/lowry Martin/miller ariza/budinger bosh/Hayes yao/hill/Andersen who would you want to sign for the mle
Lowry is taking most of our MLE. Miller will take Budingers minutes and Budinger is better. I would take Bosh if we can get him. If not there are some good rookies this draft.
I will be shocked but not made if Lowry commands > $3.5 mil. per. Scola I think earns the MLE easy. hands down.
Bima's article should give you a better idea and possibilities... http://www.clutchfans.net/news/1553...lars_and_sense/
Im not a Brad Miller fan but I think he would be a serviceable backup to Yao. We already have 2 mil + in Anderson, so unless he (Miller) comes extremely cheap I don't think he would be a wise investement, but a potentially good fit.
Definitely a must read! Yeah, if we resign Luis and Kyle (which I expect to happen if one or both aren't included in a sign and trade this summer) and sign a 1st round pick, we may not even use the MLE. The cost to Les is effectively double the cost of the contract, due to the LT. This link works: http://www.clutchfans.net/news/1553/houstons_future_dollars_and_sense/
