    Its still funny that both sides got the original deal wrong.

    I really thought Nene could have gotten a lot more on a two year deal based on last season.

    Great deal for Rockets

    Nene had to check his options first. Guess the teams that offered him 15M were crap (Sixers maybe? They have cap and just overpaid for Reddick).

    So happy to have him back Capela and him are huge load for other teams.

    Well he is old and injury prone. Still thought he was worth more than 11/3 though dude definitely took a discount.

    Roster is shaping up

    Capela/NeNe/Onuaku
    Anderson/Qi
    Ariza/Tucker
    Harden/Gordon
    Paul

    I only see 2 out of the 10 players that Mike wont play in the playoffs in Qi and Onuaku. And he might play Onuaku if he shows something this season. If we can get one more player Mike likes with the 5 remaining spots, preferably a guard, then we can have some depth come playoff time barring injuries.

    Glad we got rid of dekker and harrell in that sense.

    Good thing BJ Armstrong isn't his agent, or he would've signed a one-year deal in February for $175.23.

    Good to get Nene back on the team. I really like his game. Just need to manage his minutes to where when the playoffs start he is healthy. Our bench is shaping up nicely.

    Man I freaking love Nene. Any success this team has next year would have been bittersweet without him.

    Now we have CP3, Tucker, and we're bringing Nene back? That's some serious leadership going on.

    pretty sure the "trust he is showing the organization" is a nod to the wink wink we had to do to ensure what we couldn't via contract.

    Expect NeNe to transition to coaching or consulting after this contract is up. Rockets owe him.
