    How much less should he have taken?
    Salary Cap = 101 Million
    Team Payroll = 135 Million

    I guess he could have taken a 1 million dollar contract and the Rockets would be right at the cap

    Can't fault a man for maximizing his profits. We should all be so lucky.

    Do you want to keep losing........?

    This ain't about I told you so. This is about watching our championship opportunities circle the drain bro. Do you care?

    What's more important to you, me being right and us have the opportunity to win championships or would you rather me be wrong and us not have the opportunity to win championships?

    Focus on what's best for the team and quit posting moronic drivel about me.

    In the first 6 games last year, Ryno wasn't adjusting to a new team, new teammates, new bench role, new arena, and new city. Melo was.

    In his first 6 games THIS year, Ryno is adjusting to a new team, new teammates, new arena, and new city. His 3PT% = .227

    wow you are clearly overgeneralizing..its a small sample size and any player can have a stretch of tough games when layups are rimming out and similar stuff...

    overgeneralisation is the result of overgeneralizing. Linguistics . (in language acquisition) the process of extending the application of a rule to items that are excluded from it in the language norm, as when a child uses the regular past tense verb ending -ed of forms like I walked to produce forms like *I goed or *I rided.

    He clearly hasn't moving the same, I'm not talking about shots rimming in and out. Also, what I said doesn't fit your definition, not sure if you're joking(?) though.

    Championship season already over unless Morey can pull off a miracle superstar trade

    Minn knows this and refuses to trade with us to see how desperate Morey can get

    what kind of difference in his movement you noted and which game you referring to?

    In Lakers game I thought he moved better than the entire last year...he looked revitalized and with a special pepper to his step...

    Tilman says he will spend 200 million luxury tax for a chance to win the Championship.

    I don't have problem with Paul's 80 million overpaid contract.

    If Tilman is cheapo, then .......

    In a couple of years that’s going to look like the worst contract of all-time.

    Ariza got $15 mil
    Moute got $4.5 mil
    $19.5 mil for those two

    Just think if we hadn't been paying Ryan Anderson $20 mil (now Knight + Chriss), we could still afford Ariza & Moute.

    That dumba** Ryan Anderson contract is what killed this team.

    LMMFAO @ this line of thinking, that professional athletes should sign for less than their actual value if they "genuinely want to win" and that they're selfish if they don't.

    Clutchfans were so worrying about CP3 going to LA, so they were so happy to sign him with that money. Some clutchfans thought Melo with CP3 will lead this team to somewhere, now they think Butler is a saver, he could just be a year renter to costing 4 first round drifts.

    KD did it......to win a championship but he won't do it a second time.

    For some reason CP3 does not strike me as the guy who would take a paycut type.

    He just looks slow. Laker game he was just hot from the field.

    He hasn't been hitting his teammates with crisp on point passes very often, save for a couple of Tucker corner 3s.
