    Why didn’t we match? Why are we letting assets leave for nothing?

    I bailed out of watching the Rockets mid-way through last season and never watched him play in a Houston uniform. Heard he was pretty good.

    I thought the most we could offer was ML TPE

    He is an unrestricted FA I believe, so we don't have matching rights.

    Who was the guy that guaranteed me that if we didn't resign Olynyk, we'd at least get something in a sign and trade. Feel free to comment the return package in this post.

    I think we would have matched the salary but I don't think we wanted to go more than two years to have an expiring to trade

    You missed out. The Kelly to KJ Martin alley oop will be missed.

    I hope it's a sign and trade so Rockets can squeeze a trade exception out of it.

    Apparently we're getting Theis for 4 years 33mil so that's a much better contract than Olynyk.

    We do. We have his bird rights. Rockets just didn't want to pay up, which is no surprise.

    Clearly, if we had just been able to draft Cade, the GOAT Olynyk would still be here.

    Dang - that’s a very reasonable deal. Could have easily been a trade asset if he played even mostly as well as last year. Unless it comes out that it was actually a S&T (seems unlikely) this is a waste.

    You’ll be missed Kelly…but at least we have Sengun & Garuba :D

    Gotcha, that makes sense. Now I hate Wall and Gordon's contract even more.
