I like our odds in the playoffs. with no home court advantage for anyone, it won't matter when we have the lower seed. it comes down to bucks,...
not only will we not spend the MLE but we will have to cut guaranteed salary to avoid the tax. but lets say the rockets find a way to get below...
Some other ideas that have ups improving while ducking the tax: Ego for Nance: at 6'7 can switch on D but has a very respectable rebound rate. a...
well since neither of us can predict the future, I think its fair that we both acknowledge each other's POVs as realistic. yours is more...
no matter what happens they'll finish the season. 1 player gets covid, he's out for 2 or so weeks. if that's in the playoffs, too bad for that...
since we're expecting a reduction in cap/tax I think the rockets will not only avoid spending the MLE again but have to cut guaranteed salary to...
that's true. and you can be a great defender without being a great athlete. know your scouting, positioning, timing, anticipation, etc... those...
the protection is key. his appeal is his athleticism and speed defensively and in transition. no one recovers from an Achilles and retains their...
this is pretty telling to their commitment to small ball and MDA's chances of returning next season. if they weren't sure about their style or...
true about thibs. his defense is antiquated, pack-the-paint to force lower % shots, but in the modern nba it allows too many 3s. Joerger had a...

interesting. lets look at the market. rumors say the cap could reduce below 100M. but lets go with that number. here is all the money out there...
if the tax line doesn't dip that low next year, it's possible. however current projections say we'll be about $4M over the tax line. tilman won't...
I agree with all your points here. I don't see powell happening because ujiri and morey could never deal together. also powell is probably the...
the "up the sleeve" move could be canceling tucker's contract since its NG'd, then resigning him for less but longer term so his money is the same...
count me in if we could get him. however, if we wanted to stay under the LT we would have to add tucker and take back birch. is that worth it for...
I like it a lot, in the event that we have to trade ego to duck the tax. would rather keep ego and sign someone like Jerami Grant or mo Harkless...
@D-rock @DM'sVP keep in mind most teams will have moved significantly closer to the LT and most likely won't want to add salary. this limits our...
if they signed him to trade him, the should've made the contract more... tradable. they will have to attach assets to move him just to get under...
