About time Morey signed a contract he couldn't move. I was starting to get worried that he wasn't human.

Marcus Smart is available after Hayward signs with Celts. Very good perimeter defender.

agree. i was thinking a NGs and a 2nd rd pick would get it done. He is on that rookie contract too...also, if Celts decide to trade jae crowder instead of smart , who is another two way player making $6.5mil, we can use our NGs too.

I think the bidding for Jae would get out of our range, but yeah, a second or two should get Smart, but never count out some team overpaying

Kelly Olynyk anyone? Not a bad 3 point shooter for a big man. Not afraid to mix it up defensively.

I think it will take more than a 2nd rounder to Get Smart after his 27/7/5 playoff game with 7/10 on threes.

What is you guys' feeling on retaining Troy Williams? I have him as a good potential 3 and D prospect that will be buried in Houston.

Rockets gave up all their trade ammo to get CP. They don't have the right players that Knicks want, expiring contracts and draft picks for Melo.

CP3 was worth it and it gave the Rockets extra flexibility.

I don't think that the Knicks are getting anything back close to what fans hope. I'm perfectly fine with the Rockets rolling with the current lineup, so I am hoping they don't give up to much for Melo if it happens.

Wait it out.

He's playing in the Rockets summer league so they'll evaluate him there. He only played 6 games reg season for Houston. He had an amazing first game with 6 for 9 from beyond the arc. Signing PJ Tucker might make him expendable.

Yeah for the minimum he's a good fit. Also a Canaan return might happen. Almost signed with us last off-season and played for MDA in Philly

Yeah, all depends on if they believe in his jumpshot that he completely restructured last season

Wisedude...is there any chance we're related? Long lost cousins?
