25 mil should be alright for him with the cap increases.

When the cap increases I think he’ll be the 4th best player on the team

 

[Freeman]

@southsil4lil does the new salary cap minimum lift this summer?

Just wondering what that means in free agency.

Exactly what I was thinking. Wondering if those 15-25 mil contracts will end up becoming the new big trading currency in 2-3 years.

 

[Suckio Andretti]

I do know it’s a great time to be a team with expiring contracts for trades

Yes, opening day teams need to meet the minimum salary cap requirements to avoid penalties

I predict the rockets going to be a bottom 10 team again

I can’t see them going crazy trying to win at the expense of so much young talent right now

But I suppose I can’t say that before FA

But this is my hunch

No more Llilard news until he requests a trade.

Honestly my preference and objective this season would be to solely focus on development and figuring out exactly what we have instead of having this mandate to be better

I feel like last year was such a lost year development wise...thats why if we have to chase free agents I want to go after high level role players who can be more connector pieces than guys who have to have the ball in their hands

yeah now see my thing is, you have so many young players to the point you’re busting at the seams so it’s like how much is the veteran you’re going to add going to play?

I think y’all have a roster imbalance in regards to this and that’s why I feel you need to get rid of 3-4 guys to achieve what you want

But it’s hard for a guy to come in there and worry about taking mins from sengun, green, Jabari, Eason and now amen and whitmore


That’s half the roster right there that need mins

It's about to be some serious roster consolidating this summer


The above plus TyTy, Garuba, and Joshua Christopher...

lol I left Ty Ty alone since you should keep a young 3rd string PG on the roster and I def forgot about Christopher

keep garuba, y’all the only thing keeping him in the league

 

[AP3.0]

Capela and Gobert on the same team?

Edit: I misread

 

[Suckio Andretti]

I don’t like this for Utah though

This also lets me know murray and somehow capela might stay there
