Why would he bolt when they just signed his brother?

 

[Pugz]

I would like to ask all the pistons fan who actually follow all the games ... Is it worth having Monroe on your fantasy league if you already have Drummond ? I really need an extra rebounder but if his gonna come off bench I dont know if his actually worth getting

could be but right now he isn't a starter i don't think

I thought the same, but one of them guards will eventually have to go..

Being they were so set on keeping Bledsoe, and Gorans contract is up.. Unless they move Bledsoe I agree that Goran would leave

Sure it all would depend on this seasons success though

Houston won't have cap room next summer

 

[Mexi]

The Rockets are widely expected to take a step back this season, thanks to all the depth they squandered on the Bosh dice roll, but they expect to have significant salary-cap room next summer when they can chase point guards as accomplished as Goran Dragic and Rajon Rondo if they choose as well as in the summer of 2016.

This summer is not 2016

 

[Mexi]

Re-read it

He said theyre gonna pursue those two this summer
And in 2016 i cut if off but he mentions KD being recruited by harden

 

[Mexi]

From there, Houston plans to resume its pursuit for that third star with assets such as a tasty Pelicans lottery pick obtained in the Asik trade ... and an $8.3 million trade exception created in the same deal ... and potential trade chips such as young power forward Terrence Jones and well-regarded international prospects Kostas Papanikolaou and Sergio Llull.

The Rockets are widely expected to take a step back this season, thanks to all the depth they squandered on the Bosh dice roll, but they expect to have significant salary-cap room next summer -- when they can chase point guards as accomplished as Goran Dragic and Rajon Rondo if they choose -- as well as in the summer of 2016.

Which is when, sources say, they'd like to give Harden an opportunity to serve as Houston's lead recruiter in the pursuit of a free agent named Kevin Wayne Durant.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

They have 55 million in guaranteed contracts next summer plus a team option for Papanikolau and a qualifying offer for Beverley.
 
The Rockets can have their aspirations but then there's reality AKA what happened this offseason

 

[CameronCrazy06]

People don't want to play with Dwight

 

[snipezo]

A lineup of Russ, Reggie, KD, Perry Jones (if he keeps up), Serge would be fun to see.

 

[elcheato]

It's weird to see LeBron standing around so much on offense, instead they are going with Kyrie and Waiters. Two guys who led them to 25 wins.

Would help if LeBron put it in an actual effort and had some kind of explosion in his game

the cap is rising this offseason.

the monster front court has made its return for the pistons tonight.

Rondo is a poor fit for Houston


For what he provides to the team (lack of shooting, elite passing, very solid defense), he's basically to Houston a better passing Beverley... Not worth a $14M upgrade

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Drummond boutta get 25 rebounds tonight

Exactly why I hope he an Melos friendship is true..
Pipe dream:
We'll have enough for Marc and Rondo?
