He gets to play in a big city, stay in a big market, play with the best SG in the game, play for a playoff contender now turned championship contender, and get a max contract. I think that those factors were more important to him than taxes.

I've only been to Houston once for work and no offense but it was one of the most boring towns I have ever been to. Idk what the appeal is. Dallas now that is a different story.


According to Jalen rose, houston is a smaller second atlanta.


I've lived in both cities. Houston's nightlife has Dallas' beaten by a mile. Not really close.

We have Calderone, Grant, Galloway, and Sasha Vujacic has played the point as well. Do we need a 5th string point guard?

We have AA, Vujacic, and probably Thanasis and the other guy we just signed to TC. We have more than enough.

Denver is cutting Kostas, Phil better offer him the room exception, he covers a clear need and he is a smart versatile wingthat will fit perfectly in the triangle.
a must signee

96 minutes between the 1 and 2. We have 3 point guards and three shooting guards. I don't think we'll have a problem filling the minutes up.

We're going to need a guy like Boozer.

Grant
Affalo
Melo
Boozer
Lopez

That's a decent starting lineup. Boozer knows his role, he's not going to demand the ball. He is a good 3rd option if Affalo can give you 15 points a night.

Or he can be a very nice bench player that will feature him and put a little less pressure on guys like Porzingis.

Thats not a decent staring line up. It's just big names. We're falling into the trap again. Boozer hasn't been a good mid range shooter for a long time. He shoots abount 35 percent, yet he takes a lot of them. He's a very very poor defender, and his offense is innefficient and not nearly good enough to make up for that.

Boozer as of now is washed up. Jason Smith would be a better option no lie.

you don't really want to see any of those guys playing minutes in knick uniforms, do you?

bynum was washed up two comebacks ago.

okafor has been "recovering" from cervical disc hernia for two years. probably finished.

and javale mcgee not having any offers in a climate where backup centers are getting millions should tell you all you need to know about that lead paint chip eating mouthbreather. who cares how high that moron can jump?
