@grok@BimaThug@UnbiasednBiased@Grok What currently 2025-26 playoff eligible NBA free agents have salaries that the Rockets would need to wait beyond March 5 2026 to add, given their current salary cap situation?
@BimaThug@UnbiasednBiased Lmk askโฆ isnโt it possible that the guy theyโre planning to add needs to pro-rate down into the space they have to use? So theyโre just waiting to sign at a specific date to get the pro-rated salary right? @grok
@KDTrey5@RooshWilliams@KDTrey5 he donโt see the obvious โ @JHarden13 was last man off the HOU boat after owner, GM, coach bailed. COVID Kyrie wasnโt doing it for James. Morey nonsense in Philly. Ballmerโs zoo in LA. Hell even OKC tying to be cheap. James just an introvert saving money on PR flaks.
@ftank58 it's a way to help establish with agents + players that the Rockets are a team that takes care of players, even when things don't work out. Ime/Stone are setting a culture that helps them to sign DFS over other options, and get holiday, tate and jeff green on vet mininum deals.
@YahooSports@jovanbuha Players that we think we know (Wiggins, Ayton), may end up performing better as a result of the ego feedback loop that comes with the uniform and lifestyle. This is the advantage of LA.
@NathanFogg1 KD shot 28% his rookie year from three as a starter. Doesnโt mean Jabari is KD, just that rookie year can be big adjustment. (Possibly even more so for less physically developed teens that get banged up guarding bigger 3/4/5 and rebounding.)
@BenDuBose@ShowMeTheMorey@RedNinetyFour True that. Rox can shut him down for the whole year, and win less games in 2023. In memphis he'd be rushed back. In brooklyn, he woudn't help winning much in 2023. Maybe even better reason that it fits with Rox (if they're not concerned with long-term health)
@BenDuBose@ShowMeTheMorey@RedNinetyFour Jaren Jackson jr fits best. heโs out 4-6 months, but tremendous piece longterm. Worth a good chunk of Nets picks heading back to BK, if not all.
@KellyIkoNBA Jaren Jackson jr is ideal Rox reward for sending back BKLN picks. JJJ being out 4-6 months helps Rox lottery chances in 2023. The only 100% aligned deal for Rox is getting back a young longterm fixture who wonโt destroy chances at high pick in 2023. Who says no?
@Rockets_Insider Rockets should get involved in KD to Memphis deal trading back picks to add Jaren Jackson Jr, who conveniently for Rox timeline is out for 4-6 months, allowing 2023 to still be high draft pick
