    We are deff going to take care of him next year after he opts-out so we can sign him to larger contract.

    Austin still only 26 and can easily get paid when he hits the market again. Just hope he doesn't get hurt.

    I used to think no one could touch Jason Terry as the guy I used to hate but now love. Jason Terry has nothing on Austin Rivers now.

    Being able to save the rest of the ntmle is huge. Hopefully we acquire a valuable forward like jamychal.

    He turned down more money.

    Having said that, a lot of the available money was spent the last 24 hours.

    There are a number of pretty good players that will have to settle for smaller deals that would help us quite a bit......

    I'd love to get one of those dudes with some swagger in their game. Jam Green, Marcus Morris, Demarcus Cousins...

    TIlman is probably giving Rivers a few Landry's gift cards under the table if you know what I mean. ;)

    Can Morey redeem himself in 1-day?

    Beal, Love, Looney, Jaylen Brown...

    What's his next move?

    This is in keeping with my earlier sourced report of what I was hearing, in that the Rockets would be looking to get guys who would outplay their contract.

    Guy GOTTEN.

    Cha-ching.
