Last year we thought we could survive with out a C and that went horribly. This year we will do that again at sf? I just cant see that happening.

To be fair, we didn't have a true SF this past year either.

Wesley Johnson, Garcia, Hamilton sadly would all be upgrades to our sf position compared to last year. We'll be fine.

We have no cap so there is no way to get them unless the sign for the min.

We still have the room exception

That is incorrect. The Pelicans will have the room exception to sign a player to a maximum of a 2 year, ~$5.6 Million contract. Significantly more than the minimum.

Ok, I can sleep happy now. With that about we should be able to pull a minimal sf.

AKA as much as PJ Tucker just signed for. Deng to PHX, Tucker to Nola, Any asset minus Davis/Anderson/Holiday/Reke/Asik to PHX.

Those are the guys that I see that I'm atleast a little interested in. Though there's really only two of them I'm not "meh" over.

I might be a little late on this but I love me some Jae crowder

I think the 12:01 AM timeline for the deal pretty much died when Houston lost out on Melo & Bosh, doesn't make sense for them to drop below the cap & lose their exceptions anymore. Don't expect a deal until after Houston matches Chandler Parsons contract (if that is their plan)

Unless they make Ariza a S&T (likely involving us), they would lose the MLE/BAE by signing Ariza into cap space.

Edit: Apparently an Ariza for Lin TPE S&T may work as well.

Yeah, little maneuvers may be done here and there to modify things slightly with the Rockets facing completely different scenarios than they were anticipating even just a few short days ago.

But it will still be the same idea - Get Asik and have the Room Exception left. Don't fret. We got a SL game today. The WC final is on as well. Enjoy the day and it will get done in some form or fashion. Then, the hunt for a SF and some min. bargains begins. Then, there will be absolutely nothing to talk about in August and September. So, enjoy this time, rather than trying to rush through it.

Maybe Houston said if we wait to keep them above the cap they will take back a guaranteed contract. They do have need for a backup C now.

I think he is still under contract with Dallas.

Relax guys these things take time! If it were easy then it woulda happened July 10th. Let rockets cry a little bit after being screwed outta Melo, Bosh, Asik, Lin, and maybe even Parsons now!

Maybe we can change the thread title to "trade not finalized" and change it back when something actually happens..
