@  Dan G : (17 April 2014 - 10:17 PM) That is some interesting news. We gotta get past Portland first, but I like that stat for the next round.
@  feelingsuper... : (17 April 2014 - 12:45 PM) So yesterday during Truehoop TV Amin said the teams that win any season series 4 to 0 go on in the post season with a 51 and 4 record versus the losing team. Hmmmmmm...
@  Buckko : (15 April 2014 - 05:22 AM) Hope we can get him back in the offseason, he was just signed for the rest of the offseason.
@  jorgeaam : (15 April 2014 - 04:16 AM) Bulls release Tornike Shengelia and sign Greg Smith, well, that didn't take long
@  Cooper : (15 April 2014 - 02:39 AM) nice win. Dwight looks like he's ready go. Bev's still a little rusty but he should be fine.
@  Sir Thursday : (14 April 2014 - 10:24 PM) Thanks huang, that's useful knowledge :).
@  08huangj : (14 April 2014 - 01:15 AM) I've watched a lot of his games
@  08huangj : (14 April 2014 - 01:15 AM) Guys, I live in Guangzhou. Just in case you didn't notice, Powell was in Guangzhou playing with the tigers before he came to the Rockets. No midrange shot. Good rebounder. Bad defender. Good at attacking the rim. This is my summary for his time at Guangzhou.
@  Cooper : (13 April 2014 - 11:16 PM) hes 6-9 so id guess more of a pf but it doesn't really matter either way I guess.
@  Buckko : (13 April 2014 - 11:02 PM) Not really, you seen his season averages? Not pretty.
@  Sir Thursday : (13 April 2014 - 10:18 PM) He's more of a PF, I thought. You could always make the specious "RINGZZZ!" argument, since he won two with the Lakers...
@  Buckko : (13 April 2014 - 09:04 PM) Waived Pittman, signed Josh Powell. I don't really get why they signed a scrub SF.
@  Drew in Abilene : (13 April 2014 - 02:41 AM) In the postgame interview, Bev said he was alright, but it looked iffy...
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:40 AM) Not watching the game. Just looking at the play-by-plays.
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:39 AM) Rockets win!
@  Drew in Abilene : (13 April 2014 - 02:39 AM) Oh gosh, I hope Beverley isn't hurt again... He was taken out in the last few seconds limping after falling and looking like he hurt his right knee...
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:39 AM) yep
@  Drew in Abilene : (13 April 2014 - 02:35 AM) Harden, Lin, and Beverley all coming up big in these last few clutch minutes.
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:01 AM) And why is Parsons missing?
@  08huangj : (13 April 2014 - 02:00 AM) If Rockets don't get better soon, they are not going to be the fourth seed in the western conference.

        <br /><br /><p>I love the bull dog Lowry as a PG. Cant see the Raptors doing it.</p>
        <p>The big PG's are coming per CBSSports.com-2014 NBA Draft:<br />
        Marcus Smart--Oklahoma State--6'4"////Andrew Harrison--Ktky--6'6"<br />
        ///Micic--Serbia--6'4"////Jerian Grant--ND--6'5"////Olivier Hanlan<br />
        --Boston College--6'4"////Kenan Sipahi--Kosovo--6'4"////Exum--Australia<br />
        --6'5".............[.MCW(Phi) 6'6"/////Livingston(Nets) already in the league.]<br />
        *some are listed as SG as well.</p>
        <p>This is why I wanted C Lee deal to go thru....per 82games.com:<br />
        Lee 2010-11 (Houston) PG: mins 3%| net pts 20| offRtg 101.6| defRtg 94.3<br />
        W/L 13/6 | win% 68%. With help defenses being so good that teams run two<br />
        PG's at the same time now-a-days like Phx (Bledsoe/Dragic), Lakers (Nash/Blake), Dallas (Ellis/Calderon), Lin/Beverley or AB.......two shooting<br />
        Guards on the Rockets (if paired with Harden) could work. I won't beat that dead horse again. It may be worth looking into a 6'4"-6'5" SG slash PG.<br />
        Bass could have been dealt with Bev's contract in the offseason if it had been needed. Canaan developing and AB as insurance.</p>

            <br /><br /><p>Ever since I heard Lowry to Knicks talk a while back....I envisioned Houston sneaking in there stealing him. </p>
            <p>I would also consider Affalo/ age 28/ 47 FG%/ 83 FT%/ 42 3P%/ 6'5"<br />
            Anthony Morrow ( NO) /age 28 / 46 FG% /80 FT% / 45 3P% / 6'5"<br />
            Like Gary Neal....but he doesn't seem too athletic.</p>

                Lowry is due for a new contract. He may be on the East All-Star team this year. He's going to have to get paid. The Rockets can't afford to give both Lowry and Parsons new contracts after this season.

                I'd be VERY surprised if Lin is traded for Lowry.

                  Getting rid of Lin's contract next year is a plus to itself. The Rockets have $72M committed for next season, and that is before Parsons raise.

                    The only team that really needs a pg that has space is LA or maybe the knicks if they lose melo so lowrys new contract shouldn't be outrageous. Trading for Lowry would be risky though of he comes back and acts like a turd again it could collapse the lockerroom and send the season in a tailspin with no clear other option at pg.

                      I'd bet minimum $32 million, 4 years. And wouldn't be at all surprised if Lowry ends up with even something better than that.

                      I have a feeling both Asik and Lin will probably play out their contracts with the Rockets. The $15 million salary next season is just too much to overcome, although their contracts only count $8.3 million to the cap.

                      The good thing is the Rockets will have a lot of flexibility after the 2014-15 season when both Asik and Lin have played out their contracts. In the meantime, Lin is obviously contributing well to the Rockets effort this season and has been a positive influence in the locker room. Asik on the other hand................

                          That is not counting the cap though. That's the actual dollars, because of Lin and Asik poison pill.

                            I agree, the only teams that would be able to swallow the amount are championship caliber teams in a big market. I just don't see NYK, LAL or Brooklyn spending that kind of money while they aren't really in contention. Also we would have to take a bad contract or low picks.

                             

                            Asik is injured so I will hold judgement until he comes back. Lin is valuable he can contribute off the bench and unless we get a PG back in the trade that is decent, I rather hold onto the contract and wait until next years trade deadline for teams to chase the expiring contract or letting it ride to the end ourselves.

                              Getting rid of Lin's contract next year is a plus to itself. The Rockets have $72M committed for next season, and that is before Parsons raise.


                              The $72M that Steven mentions includes paying Lin $15M next season and Asik $15M next season whereas their cap hits are only $8.3M each next season. So the Rockets really only have $59M committed to Cap Space next season plus Parsons much deserved payday.
                               
                               

                              That is not counting the cap though. That's the actual dollars, because of Lin and Asik poison pill.


                              The Rockets are committed through the end of next season assuming they re-sign Parsons (a given in my opinion) to: D12, Harden, Parsons, TJones, Motiejunas, Francisco Garcia, Beverley, Canaan and Covington in addition to Asik and Lin. So a total of 11 players with Asik, Lin, Garcia in the final year of their contracts next season. Scola is still due a good chunk of money next season as he was amnestied but that does not count against the Rockets Cap Space.

                              Then with Beverley, Canaan and Covington in the final year of their contracts the following season (2015-16).

                              So the Rockets have a lot of flexibility going forward. Morey and the Rockets just have to be smart with their next moves yet do risk being too conservative by not taking a chance while D12 is still near the top of his game.

                              Lots to look forward to in the coming next few seasons as a Rockets fan!!!

                                Did I say anything about cap vs actual? No, I said the Rockets have $72M committed to players for next year without Parsons getting a raise. (Howard+Hardin+Asik+Lin) * 15M = $60M. Yes, I know that Morey pulled a coup to get them at $8.3M/per year on the cap. But I prefer to live in the real world, not the theoretical.

                                  Lowry is better off on Toronto, where he has had a new start. He'd probably have problems coming back to Houston. Didn't he threaten to beat up a female fan or something? In the NBA locker room that is about as pathetic as you can get - he'd have no respect in houston. Too bad - he's a great player.
