    Rox would definitely want to give it to him if scores 15 a night the problem is they dont have his Bird rights and can only pay him up to MLE. Rox might be screwed next season all the bench is leaving.

    Not all the bench. When we say bench, all we mean is Faried, House and Rivers. It really comes down to House and Faried. If Rivers wants more than the minimum, which he probably will, then we’re just going to have to accept he’s a goner. So one of Faried and House will definitely be back. And if we’re super lucky we may be able to keep two of the three.

    Something that bothered me during the Suns broadcast last night was how they mention MDA refuses to call timeouts when teams go on a run in rhythm. I know it's not a secret here but just frustrating that its picked up on outside of Houston.

    House was getting ripped off by the organization. No one else could value the guy and pay him but Tilman. I'm hoping Tilman learns something from this. The boss is not always right, but he can make it right this summer.

    I dont think he can as we dont have House's bird rights so we can only offer like 2.3M or w/e aside from using the MLE. If Faried says he is ok with MLE he might take priority over House.

    Considering the contribution he made to the team, he didn’t his share of the pie. Dude was starting while making 50k. That is being ripped off bc starting quality in the NBA is worth more than 50k mmkay?

    Don’t be obtuse.

    He was getting more than 50k due to him being on the NBA roster.

    He actually has been paid around 350,000k.

    He signed a 2 way contract after being released, he had no better offers, how is that being ripped off?

    Not being obtuse just stating the facts.

    He's being ripped off in the sense that 99% of the players in the NBA that contribute less than him make more than him. Like significantly.

    I know the contract he signed. I know the situation he's in. That doesn't mean you I can't empathize with his predicament here. You seem unable to empathize. It says a lot about you.

    His predicament is his own fault nobody made him sign the 2way.

    there is nothing to empathize with he got a chance because the team have him one and he ran with it and he has a chance to reap the rewards.

    i realize he has a small sample size of production my thoughts accordingly are simply that he had not proven anything.

    what else should I empathize with?
