Something is brewing

Seems lik

Every time I saw him play in Houston, his shot was wet. And no, I didn't only watch him play our team.

You're full of shit dude. He made 5 fucking shots in Houston. And he was 0-3 from 3pt range.

I'm kind of souring on the idea of giving KJ a contract. If we could get him for a couple mil, great, but to give it to him 7 mil because he's "athletic" is a stretch for me.

Remember, the cap is going to shoot up each of the next two seasons. A $7-8M/year deal today will be relative peanuts in a year or two. That's why teams are seemingly overpaying now...because it won't be an overpay relative to the new caps.

What does this mean?? Is this correct?

Note: The Rockets are re-signing Brewer via his Early Bird rights. If a team gives McDaniels more than his qualifying offer, Houston can only match using their MLE. Teams are limited to giving McDaniels MLE money, no more.

But, did you ever watch him play there?

You guys do realize your talking about being in the same position BOS was in this season...where if they had missed the playoffs they would have gotten Winslow rather than drafter Rozier 6 picks later and then offering as many as six firsts to move up to get and draft him?

Playoff experience is overrated when it comes to the first round or two. Give me fresh talent every time over one and dones. Coaching experience in the playoffs is the underrated aspect, IMO.

Boston was in the East. I'm not worried in the slightest about a similar scenario with the strength of the West. If we make the playoffs with the roster more or less as is it means we have young players greatly exceeding expectations. Something along the lines of two potential allstars plus Lillard. I'd be more than fine with that scenario. I'd be ecstatic. Sure we'd lose the draft pick but it means we have one of the best young cores in the conference.

Most posters in this thread are wrong. Its the same scenario as Asik and Jeremy Lin's contracts. Houston can match any offer even if its above the MLE. Let's say we offer him ~$25 million for three years. If Houston matches it'll hit their cap as $5/$5/$15. If they don't match it hits our cap at $8,$8, $8.

What I pasted wasn't from a poster though, it was from eric pincus.

No, he's just hiding in a bunker some place. Prob wise to do so.

Would Philly be interested in trading Noel?

Our most valuable commodity is cap space in an era when it's pretty much worthless. The only people to whom it is valuable are people looking to avoid luxury tax payments. The Nets are the most glaring examples because (a) they suck, but (b) they're about to be stuck with a MASSIVE bill because they're "repeat" luxury tax payers. Looks like Cleveland (who also would have a MASSIVE bill) have cooled on Joe Johnson. Maybe if the Nets get desperate enough to give us another unprotected pick to absorb salary...

I think we're done for now until the end of training camp when other teams are cutting people.

Of course, if we're looking for BIG, Boban Marjanovic is nearly 300lbs. Or there's Joshua Smith...
