    This isn’t a team official camp, there’s still a chance Luc comes to the official one in case he isn’t at this one due to other obligations

    @ch44 said today league still hasn’t approved Nene contract...and same day, both Shump and Luc drop out of plans with Rockets.

    Could be a sign Morey is starting to pull further offers involving huge Team-Based Likely Incentive bonuses ... and Shump, Luc were on this list. Also explains why Alykhan announced another Rockets face was returning as part of his tweet about Nene signing.?? @Deuce. Could be he heard this isn’t the only similar contract Morey is offering...but now they are unraveling by league?

    So in simpler terms, the league hasnt(or isnt going to) approve the Nene contract and now we are out at least three wing players (Shumpert,Luc, and possibly Iggy)?

    I wouldn't invite Luc mbah a moute anywhere important. Don't rockets play shanghai in less than 2 weeks so how is this freaky news!

    Luc MBah a Moute can board the plane back to shanghai after rockets cut him from Toyota center!

    If Prince Luc is healthy, he will beat out all of these damn peasants.

    Guys second guessing coming here lol. Daryl Morey has ran this organization's reputation in the mud. Players know they'll be promised stuff & reneged on

    yep, but I don't feel like it's a reach to think Morey planned to offer Huge Team Likely Incentives to others.

    No, you aren’t wrong here. I totally buy that.

    I just don’t buy the consequences you suggested. If there is an issue, which I’m not convinced there is, I’m sure Morey can work around it. He always works in degrees, not absolutes.

    There is no evidence that Luc has ever recovered to a capable player, much less the one we knew on the Rockets.

    How many roster spots to we have available, assuming Nene and Shumpert are brought back on trick deals?

    He was the starting 2 when Harden was with Oklahoma City.

    Yup. He knows where to be and when to switch.

    He is limited laterally but for a point guard he is fine defensively.

    Would sign Thabo and Brewer for vet min.

    Their vet leadership, ball handling, energy and length will be needed off the bench. Both also already know how to play with with both Harden and WB.

    Need more 5 out, positionless basketball, types.
