Anyways Rockets still need PG depth so I wouldn't be opposed to them bring in Heinrich, Foye, or Canaan if they are still available. They should be cheap contracts

We still have over 9 mil in cap, including Beasley, Goudlock (unguaranteed until April) and Dmos cap hold. Have a feeling a trade is coming

The more I think the more I am coming around to starting Gordon and harden, though I want to stagger their minutes like we should have done with Lin seeing as how (as sad as this is) they're our 2 best playmakers

What is still available that is useful for us? Factoring in we still have to sign d-mo to whatever another team signs him to

Otherwise there would be no point to signing Nene to the room exception if you aren't going to use the extra cap space

We do have to sign/match Dmo but we can wait to do that last and sit on his ~6 mil cap hold until we are done signing guys

Mario chalmers is still out there. Also Rockets will likely create more capsapce when they trade Brewer

Trust me, Calderon is not good and not better than bev...we do need an upgrade, but Calderon is not even close to that


He's a real point guard. Maybe the triangle was not a good fit. He was still good with the mavericks two years ago. Anyway he's an expiring deal vs Beverley and his three more seasons. I don't trust Patrick handling the ball. I'm not even saying Calderon should start. I think Gordon should. But we need a true pg on the team.

The last time Calderon was good was his Toronto days and even then he was not all that good. He is not a upgrade in any regard what so ever. Yes Bev is not a starter on a good NBA but doesn't mean you trade him for a far lesser player because you just don't like him. By the way Bev was solid from the three point line and still a above average defensive player player.


Jose is a better passer, better ball handler, better decision maker, better three point shooter, better free throw shooter. Bev's only "above average defensively" because he gets away with so much from the refs.

I just don't know what we could package with Brewer to make it work. I doubt a second or two gets it done

Is there any way to get Westbrook by trade this year or be signing him next year?

If Durant didn't want to play with harden again then I doubt Westbrook would either.

No way by trade. Try next off season. I don't think he's a good fit with Harden though

Speights to clippers for the vet min. He would have been nice here if dmo gets too big of an offer, which is looking less and less likely by the day.

Now that his sexual abuser Howard is gone, Canaan can come back without worry.
