Very disappointed in our "salary dump" trade deadline.

I think it will be ok
I have faith.

Not looking for Lightning to strike twice in a bad way
We just need the Refs to be fair

Rocket River

 

i'm not so sure other GM's would just take tilman's crap so easily. jerry west and probably masai would have just resigned long ago before tarnishing their reps like this. morey's legacy is going to be one of having wasted james harden's career.

 

Truth
Real
Pure

 

That’s about all we can have because we sure as **** don’t have the talent

 

Absolutely.

What pisses me off if that we've ignored ways to lower PJs rate

1) not playing Clark
2) leaving house to rot

 

keep killing Tilman as if he can magically make valuable assets and cap space appear out of thin air

 

Miss me yet?

 

And this is why I would absolutely sweat bullets if it turned out to be the Lakers as the Rockets first round opponent.

Silver would commit any sin this side of sodomy to ensure LeBron stayed in front of NBA cameras as long as possible.

 

Eh man the Warriors are too stacked. They just coast in the regular season. I wouldn't mind if I was wrong though...

 

Most of the owners probably don't care all that much if they win a title. It's a business and if they're team is doing good enough and the cash in rolling in owners are winning.

 

This team is deeper and more talented than last years roster, and it’s not close. Now, the Warriors are improved, too, after adding Cousins, so the Rockets upgrades may not be enough.

However, the only player of consquence the Rockets lost from last season’s playoff run is Trevor Ariza, as Luc Mbah Moute played sparingly. Shumpert, Rivers and Faried, combined, provide a lot more depth and value than Ariza by himself. Shumpert is a downgrade from Ariza, but has many of the same qualities: good, versatile defender and an erratic shooter. Faried is a better backup five than Nene was, and Rivers is another rotation-worthy guard that can help keep CP3 fresh in the playoffs. Not to mention the Rockets are highly likely to add a viable backup power forward for Tucker that they lacked last year in the buyout market, whether its Markieff Morris or someone like Wilson Chandler. Then, they also have the ability get the House scenario resolved in time for him to be playoff-eligible.

I’ll buy what you are selling here, if for nothing less than my own sanity. It’s one of the more positive positions that I’ve seen articulated here after all of the roster changes. These next two buyout roster additions will be key to how deep of a push we can make.

 

He’s a total cheapskate. Which is why neither ariza and luv aren’t here. And we wouldn’t be scrambling for wings. It’s almost as if hes resigned to pay Harden and CP3. And just roll with them.

 

The repeater tax is way too much for most if any owner will tolarate. Simple business and I believe if they landed J Bulter they would have gone all out this year. That is without trading away E Gordon.

Now that the reality is here.

They will play out this season knowing their odds of going to finals are slim and they might not make it to the WCF.

None of the available trades would have moved the needle. If you have to trade a key rotation player, Gordon or PJ to get then it is not much of upgrade. The trash they traded out got them the Shrimp.

Who knew that Mr. ANDERSON could be worth more than BK. But I think Anderson changed his last year of the contract so that and fact BK was trash.

 

if we are looking 2-4 years down the road, facing the luxury tax, the repeat offender tax, and want to sign someone in offseason to 2-3 year deal, wouldn't it make sense to get under the tax "officially" for a short period of time? That should help with the repeat offender tax which otherwise could get to the 250-275% range

 

Lotta people crying during Harden's historic season. Sucks being a fan?

 

If money wasn't a problem ,we could have now, the same team +
+Ariza resign (bird rights)
+Luc (MLE)
+Melton
+Ellighton + Tyler Johnson (for RA)
+ 2019 1st
+ 3 2nds
+ Ennis

we prefer Shumpert and next year more flexibility (probably)

 

They would never give $15 million for 1 year to Ariza.

Notice all other than CP3 and Capella was vet min.

Now try this trade Ariza f signed with BK and 4 1st may have gotten J Bulter and their salary dump.

Same team add JB and that is worth luxury tax but who knew JB was available last off season?
