He's actually been pretty healthy the last 2 seasons. 77 and 81 games respectfully.

He was hurt in the playoffs which is what matters. 9 ppg and 50% TS, which is like Dalen Terry on his worst days.

That's true.

But its not like Cam Johnson has been a pillar of health. He's averaged 56 games per year over his career.

Just so I’m clear, the Jones signing comes from the MLE, am I right?

Better have a deal cooking up somewhere otherwise we're bringing back last years team with Okoro=Lonzo, that to me screams Eastern conference purgatory!

Good question. I don't think so because we have his bird rights. If I'm right, the question may still be similar...how much of our MLE can we use to stay below the tax?

Rockets pushing in all the chips .

Why is everyone loading up on centers?

Houston now have Sengun, Adams and Capela.

I don't get it.

Levert to the Pistons.

2/29.

houston has a ton of big wings to play at PF too, so it's not like you assume they're going to be running constant double big lineups.

kind of weird roster construction. i liked where they were headed into free agency but i'm not sure why they prioritized DFS or another center

With Adams and Sengun on the court together the Rocket played their best ball. Big men are coming back.

That’s an even better question. I believe that (without Jones) we could have used the full MLE and still missed the tax by about 4M. So, given what he signed for, we should have about 10M of the MLE that we could spend provided that Jones’ contract doesn’t count against it. But I could be wrong here.
