We have proven we don't know how to draft worth a flip, BUT... We are pretty proficient at making good trades, SO... Management is just playing to their strengths.
It really doesn't take skill to not trade the draft's most talented prospect and the team's most athletic player for Shane Battier.
We're clearing cap to win now. Someone mentioned the possibility of this funding MJ's return. If true, it makes our starting 5 pretty stable and Van Gundy-esque. It also means that we haven't given up on Head because I get the impression that JVG can't handle more than one project. The deal alone is still $#@$@#$@# boneheaded. **** the coach. **** the ownership doesn't feel like breaking the cap by keeping Gay and getting MJ. **** the GM. Serenity now....serenity now... Is our window that short? Rockets management thinks so.
how are we clearing cap room? Stro has 3 more years for 17.4 million remaining. While Battier has 5 years 31.5 million left on his deal... Plus Battier is older.
[QUOTEHow are we clearing the cap by taking on Battier's contract?[/QUOTE] Okay, it woud've made more sense then...what if Les was a giant homophobe?
I don't think this will clear any cap to bring back MJ. We will still only have the MLE. Trade CD for West!
