Re: Liggins

I have absolutely zero idea what this means but I'm assuming Morey does, and that's all that matters

Full mid level exception to sign somebody, so in other words we can sign a better role player now without having to worry about the cap.

If the Rockets are over the cap, they can only take back 125% of what they send out.

Paul gets ~24mm next year.

Lou: 7
Bev: 5.5
Dek: 1.7
---
14.2

*1.25 = 17.7

Rockets need to send more money to LA if they are not using cap space.

I get it but still need post help to have any chance at contention. If they could somehow get Millsap, which would take a lot of help, that would be great. I think the George trade is still doable with their assets. He told Indy he isn't coming back after this season, but there's a good chance George is a rental. Unlikely to get long term deals out of Paul and George without them taking discounts.

CP3 is Harden is probably the most hated backcourt in the NBA to the opposing fans.

How's the future looking if CP3 is a rental, we should be loaded for next season right?

We got his Bird Rights in the trade. Remember that in the last CBA, it was CP3 who wanted the supermax deal. So at worse, we will get a sign and trade for him.

You don't want to pay a point guard 50 million dollars when he's 38 years old? That's the cost of doing business.

Vegas Odds after trade

Rockets: from 30-1 to 15-1
Clippers: from 40-1 to 100-1


Vegas like Texags, knows stuff.

FWIW, Harrell is the backup to the backup. Nene will be back.

There's always value in bucking the trend. Every other team besides the Warriors and Cavs seem to be hunkering down and building for the "post-Warriors" era.

Ariza is one of the reasons we got CP3. They're boys. I think we're going to need a guy like Ariza even more with Bev gone. Someone has to do the dirty work and defend the other team;s best player. Ariza is that guy. If we can somehow swing George then there is another long defender.

I was thinking about what we could possibly be giving up and forgot we had Ryan Anderson on the team. I hope we trade him over Eric Gordon.

Starting 5 is gearing up to be Paul, Harden, Ariza, Melo, Capela.

If Melo comes, the Rox are clearly gearing towards Lebron and DWade in 2018 offseason.

That scenario seems ridiculously pie in the sky, but the rumors have been around for years linking the 4 together.

Would much rather have PG13 over Melo, but the cost might be too high
