pubic works project posted:Someone check on chunkles. I bet he just passed out. It's true. I've actually been on my fainting couch all day, getting up and repeatedly passing out, but the serving boy finally got back with smelling salts.  In memoriam Patrick Beverley 2013-2017 (Morey becomes the first GM to trade away the NBA Hustle Award winner) Sam Dekker 2015-2017 Montrezl Harrell 2015-2017 Also congratulations to Time, you're not a true blood Rockets poster until Morey trades your avatar away. WhyteRyce posted:Sam Dekker got some hype from Rockets fans last year but I assume that's just fans overhyping bench trash I like Dekker, but he's definitely a work in progress. He's supposed to be a slasher kind of guy, but with Harden never really got the chance to handle the ball. His three point shot is not good enough. Him on a bad team would probably give him a lot more reps with that stuff and make it clear whether he's a good player or not. xbilkis posted:Would staggering Harden/Paul's minutes so they're playing without one another as much or more often than they're playing together be the optimal way to use them? Will stars teaming up ever accept this arrangement I sure hope they do this. It would probably be great for Harden's career longevity and Paul not getting injured if D'Antoni can keep their minutes down. chunkles fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Jun 28, 2017 |

quote:Unloading Ryan Anderson to sign Paul outright would have helped Houston keep one of their outgoing guards, but the market for the three years and $60 million left on Anderson's deal was frigid. Not even the Kings wanted him for free. At least two teams would have demanded two Houston first-round picks in exchange for absorbing Anderson, according to several league sources. Lowe confirms that absolutely no one wants Anderson's contract.

I'm glad Ricky Rubio finally got traded so Rockets fans can stop suggesting that for a yearG-Hawk posted:per Houston chronicle, the Rockets intend to bring over Zhou Qi. He needs to put on about 50 pounds to not be considered at-risk for an eating disorder. He's gonna get pushed around in the D-League for like two years minimum. That said, he's the next Yao Ming as far as I'm concerned

So since the Rockets are meeting with Amir Johnson, what happened to him? Is he still a reasonably good defensive player? I've barely watched him ball in Boston.

Man none of those teams particularly make sense to me as a great fit for him, he's 32 and only Minnesota might be any good any time soon. But he's gonna make bank probably.

Dejan Bimble posted:It's confusing to me, I thought they changed the over 36 rule to reward the banana boat crew for not trying to recoup lost BRI from owners? Is that only as part of max deals? I can't figure it out http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q56 Apparently money after the age of 38 is considered likely to be post-retirement and counts towards the cap for the years pre-38 or something I dunno e: Oh I guess the change was that they altered it from age 36 to age 38. But Nene's 34 so the last year reduces the amount of money they can offer him overall as a non-bird free agent. They can still give him more money via one of their exceptions but then they wouldn't have it for someone else. also what https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/881249660614057984 chunkles fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Jul 1, 2017 |

I like the PJ Tucker signing, and I'm really glad they managed to keep Nene. I wouldn't have been surprised if he was a little peeved after they screwed up his contract offer and then used the MLE on Tucker. I will be interested in whether PJ Tucker can up his 3 point game here. He's never taken many. The Rockets are basically tapped out now, unless they can trade Anderson for a S&T free agent or Carmelo An  thony. Solid offseason.
