@  thejohnnygold : (29 September 2015 - 05:16 AM) FYI, it was media day today. Interviews are up at NBA.com
@  slick shoes : (23 September 2015 - 06:37 PM) kind of late in the day but NBATV is broadcasting classis Rockets games all day today.
@  SadLakerFan : (16 September 2015 - 04:37 AM) Man, as a Laker fan, I'm learning how little you care about the off season when your team sucks. Anyway, a quick moment to remember Moses. Still remember watching the 81 team as a kid - losing record, NBA Finals. I would have cried w/joy if they could have beaten the Celtics.

@  jorgeaam : (15 September 2015 - 08:30 PM) So to celebrate his new contract, Montrezl Harrell saved someone's life on monday
@  thejohnnygold : (14 September 2015 - 04:36 PM) A good article from Blinebury talking about when Hakeem and Moses used to play in the park. LINK
@  rockets best... : (14 September 2015 - 02:29 AM) I agree totally. I got to watch his Rocket days and the man was a hell of a player. BIG MO R.I.P.
@  Mario Peña : (13 September 2015 - 05:24 PM) Sad to see Moses pass. I don't remember watching him as a Rocket but I do remember his Philly and Hawks teams. He was the perfect man to mentor Dream. It's a very sad day for his family and friends and there are many.
@  majik19 : (12 September 2015 - 09:01 PM) i just saw a post wishing Yao Ming a happy 35th birthday... am I the only one whose mind is blown that he's only 35?
@  cointurtlemoose : (08 September 2015 - 01:17 AM) aaaah, thanks jorge
@  jorgeaam : (08 September 2015 - 12:21 AM) Love it how Hinkie and Morey always target the same players, but hoping he isn't another Covington
@  thejohnnygold : (08 September 2015 - 12:03 AM) Christian Wood has signed with Philly
@  jorgeaam : (07 September 2015 - 10:32 PM) If I'm not wrong, he hasn't been waived yet, they have until october 4th to do that
@  cointurtlemoose : (07 September 2015 - 05:39 PM) Anyone else surprised that Kostas hasn't gotten picked up by anyone yet? I wanna see that guy play somewhere
@  redfaithful : (05 September 2015 - 10:48 PM) Llull line from today loss to Serbia: 30MIN 1-10PG, 0-5 3PG, 4-4FT 6AST, 1TO, 4REB, +/- -11
@  Losthief : (03 September 2015 - 02:27 AM) this dude's gun fired and all he got a misdemeanor at bush lol: http://abc13.com/new...ush-iah/815795/
@  Losthief : (03 September 2015 - 02:26 AM) theres more articles all over, but the jist is houston (and texas) doesn't really arrest for it, they just recommend you leave it in your car when they catch it. So seems dwight got lucky he was in texas and not cali or the NE.
@  Losthief : (03 September 2015 - 02:22 AM) honestly we should just be glad they caught it...

There could be technicalities I'm not aware of. If I was you I wouldn't trust my calculations over Coons.

Looks like I was right about being wrong, I hate to say I told you so but Coon's the CBA guy, he doesn't get these kind of things wrong. 

 

The problem with your math is you don't have the space holders. Each empty spot in the roster counts the league minimum towards the salary cap. Gotta have a league minimum 12 players so you have to add 4 league min salaries.

 

So now we're back to what I was saying earlier, we need to move Royce White with Thomas Robinson otherwise it doesn't work. If no one is willing to take Royce White then chances are we're going to move Asik. I definately don't want to move Terrence Jones or DMo. 

 

There's a silver lining to moving Asik though, I mean besides getting Dwight, we will get to keep Greg Smith, James Anderson, and Thomas Robinson. If we give Thomas Robinson time to develop we might be able to get better value when we trade him, and I know some of us have grown pretty fond of Greg Smith.

do you really believe a few cap holds will stop the rockets? besides if the cap does rise to at least 60 mil it may give them that wiggle room.....the math is using the 58 mil cap. each minimum cap hold is worth 474 thousand. if the cap rises to 60 mil they will have room to hold 5 minimum player cap holds and still sign him to a max deal.

the NBA doesn't figure the cap until july 1st. any information coming out now is speculation because the NBA season is still in progress and final revenues have not been tallied. this is why the NBA will stop all operations from july 1st to july 10th so these numbers can be calculated.

    Guys, I'm going to lock this thread up because it's gotten a bit long and the title might not properly reflect all of the new developments.  Please refer to the new Dwight thread for all of your Dwight needs.
