Excluding a few issues with execution and the owner — the Rockets FO is sharp, while most national media and some people on here think they’re...
This or Sengun/Jalen taking the qualifying offer is not really a real scenario in the NBA of today, for players like this. The money is too big....
As I've said elsewhere, I think many here are pretty far off base in reading how the FO views this. The FO has telegraphed their plan, via Feigen...
See this is the disconnect to me. The goal of the Rockets FO is to use the structural leverage they have to get players on contracts below their...
Correct, the max Sengun or Jalen can get in RFA is 167/4. RFA offer sheets can’t give a 5th year and are capped at 5% raises. Folks need to...
This isn’t directed at you, but I swear a lot of the extension discussion on here and on twitter involves people not internalizing that we are...
Absolutely right that forward-looking cap management will be the focus of our FO this summer and for the next few years. However, I think there's...
Definitely a strong chance they don't pick up the 4th year option. I bet they see it as a chance to take a look at him in summer league, camp,...
I get the sense there is strong underlying strategy and personnel evaluation with this front office (maybe that's all Witus) but execution is...
No that just refers to obligations in 2025. We owe our 2026 pick to OKC top 4 protected no matter what.
Something to note (warning: confusing Stepien rule stuff): After today’s Brooklyn trade, even though we got back extra assets - they are not well...
Overall I give the deal a B-. Agree with the principle, I like keeping the 2027 swap, and I think the deal on its own is a net positive. Huge...
I love Udoka as our coach, motivator, culture guy, and face of the organization. Was my dream coaching pick for us before he even left Boston. Do...
I have read, though unconfirmed, that he does have a significant buyout after he signed his big pro contract with Red Star last year. Topic has...
Just registering this: I don’t think they will trade down to late lottery (for reasons I’ve described elsewhere), but IF they do I have a...
This is pretty accurate, as far as how I read things. At this point lead decision-makers know who they want to draft. The "uncertainty" is all...
Beware of thinking we have too many prospects to develop, so we have to trade this pick. Last time a team did that, it was the Charlotte Hornets...
Great post. The other key point (I’ve mentioned elsewhere) is that the only time trade downs happen in the top 5 in the last 15 years, it’s...
Personally, I believe a trade down is unlikely. - As far as we know, no mid or late lottery prospects have worked out with Houston at all. We...
Would have to be at least 3 future draft assets to buy #3. The price was 3 protected firsts when OKC bought #11 a couple years ago. So something...
