Mclemore 500k guarentee Hart 708k guar Clark 708k Guar who to be waived? exceed 15 rosters and 450k under luxury tax line
But Big Dick Nene and Gerald Green are absolutely necessary if we're going to be able to trade for anyone at all.
Attention Daryl Morey! Please don’t waste James Harden’s prime. Long term thinking needs to go out the window for the time being. The time is now. Are we really not going to try to sign Uncle Jeff to a vet minimum? I’m baffled! This is beyond me! These 7 man rotations simply aren’t going to cut it. We’ve already seen how this movie plays out. Refused to play Trez in the playoffs. Last year refused to play Faried. Haven’t seen anything from Chandler or Thabo to suggest they deserve rotation minutes when it matters and we all know Gary Clark probably won’t play. Hartenstein you say? Lmao! Don’t get me wrong, I wish they were all great off the bench. Not trying to be negative, just realistic. Murray do something!
Exactly every championship team has at least a reasonable sized PF that helps their center. Draymond and Bogut Thompson and Love Ibaka and Gasol Splitter and Duncan Birdman and Bosh We should know Hakeem and Thorpe/Horry. Gotta stop acting like this is not relevant because it is. Tucker is a SF at best.
The Warriors best lineups had Iguodala as PF and Draymond at C, often starting the game with Draymond at C. In the playoffs, I don’t want anyone but PJ at PF. We win that matchup 100% of the time. I would however like a more Ariza’ish type at SF.
Yeah and that’s fine but when they needed it they could go to Bogut and Green combo. That’s another issue the Rockets have always wishing upon a F’n star trying to be like another organization when they don’t have the best shooters ever or 4 to 5 superstars and all stars mixed. Tucker at the 4 is good when we are able to expose a matchup that benefits us but when we get killed in the paint with penetration to the basket and we are not long enough to consistently defend we are in trouble more often than not.
Just out of curiosity, how much money could be saved by the Rockets waiting to sign Jeff Green to a vet min contract? My guess is DM wants to make a trade that gets rid of more salary than is brought in and then they will look to sign Green. What impact could the timing of things happening have on the Rockets paying the luxury tax?
