Rockets to re-sign their free agent guard Francisco Garcia to a two-year deal paying $2.6 million, a source tell Y! Sports.

Vets min for Garcia.

...and that's the right price for Garcia. There's some depth right there.

That was always going to happen. All the big contracts have an ETO. All it means is that he may start his full max deal a year earlier.

Can't really blame him for wanting a player option....that's something a lot of free agents covet when inking a deal

Yeah no one would sign a contract that large without an ETO

2 seasons of a fresh start before the 2015 opt out becomes distraction

Which he will do.

How is it a distraction? He's not the first guy ever to have an ETO

So, with Garcia in the fold now, I guess this is currently what we are looking at for the Rockets:

C: Howard and Smith
PF: Jones and D-Mo
SF: Parsons and Garcia
PG: Lin and Beverly
SG: Harden

I left Asik off intentionally with the thought he will be traded. I also left off the Murray State guard and James Anderson as they would be 11th and 12th players if on the team.

This is starting to shape up nicely especially depending on what they get for Asik. The Pelicans apparently want him so perhaps Houston could offer Asik and Terrance Jones for Ryan Anderson.

Will Milsap getting less than $10mm per year set Smoove's number in that ballpark as well?

Smith has the same predicament as Howard IMO. Go to a scrub team for more money (detriot) or take a little less and contend for a championship (Houston)

Smith is gone. 4 years 56m. Glad we didn't pay that.

There wasn't 14 to give. He was at max a 11-12 type of player IMO

in some sort of vacuum, sure, he'd make 11M, but he's a franchise defense changing player, so he deserves to make more than that since there are plenty of scrubs in the NBA making 9-11M (see deandre jordan)

Not sure why

Me either

First head scratcher imo unless a team wants him back in a trade

So is Asik really pissed off? All I've heard are people reporting on what their sources say. Asik is a quiet guy and I doubt he's honing around telling people he's pissed.

i dont think i believe the reports that he's pissed. The guy barely speaks english, so um, who exactly is he speaking to about being angry?
Mr.Bond

That being said I'd trade asik somewhere and take Monroe off detriots hands

He barely speaks English, how could he be mad? Brilliant!

IDK if he is pissed or not, but I have seen several interviews of McHale saying Asik yells things in Turkish when he gets put on the bench

Casspi was very good in transition when he played for Sacramento. So maybe he will be more successful here than he was in Cleveland.

Casspi vet min w/ 2nd yr team option

I would love to have Monroe but I don't think Detroit would be interested in Asik since they have Drummond who they are high on.

Edit: bring in a 3rd team and get it done!
