Davis didn't get waived. He is still on the team and will be in training camp. The NBA did not suspend him.

any how, John Wall's deal ends just as Tilman has to start paying off those 15% junk bonds.. i mean... uhhh .... loans. ya loans... that's what they are.. loans. LOL.

The term "rich" is ill-defined. if you want to tighten up that comment a fruitful discussion is possible. Otherwise its just mud-slinging. Which.. you've already started.

Anyhow, Tilman has a big bill to pay and is preparing to do so in a predictable manner. No wonder Harden wants out of Houston.

uhh its protected.
Per The Athletic's Shams Charania, the pick is for 2023 and the protection on it is as follows: 2023, lottery; 2024, top 12; 2025, top 10; 2026, top 8; thereafter becomes two second-rounders.


Tilman is clearing away as many expenses as possible so he can pay off that loan.

Yeah, I read that pick as Hou getting two second rounders from Was.

What expense was cleared?

you can't figure this out yourself? Wall hasn't played more than half the season in 5 years. Wall has had 87 bazillion injuries and 86 bazillion surgeries the past 5 years. Insurance pays 80% of his salary and the salary remains as part of the cap. Westbrook has played more than half the year in every year of his career.

Fred VanVleet bets on himself. The Rockets are betting Wall gets hurt and insurance will pay.
Great way to save money.

you need a dictionary. and what Houston is doing is straightforward. Washington saved 10s of millions already.

good interview with Masai.

In like 2, 5 10 years when he's still freaking rich are you still going to be on this? I think so, something will have changed and he is rich now but you were still right that he's broke now.

Hou did good in that trade, if Wall is healthy he is a better fit, first is huge value for a team with no assets. Morey jumped ship at a good time when all his win now moves failed and they have shit for assets left.


I think at best, Wall for Westbrook is a lateral move.

At the end of the day, I just think Harden isn't good enough on D to win, no matter who he plays with. Even if he improved or put some effort in on D, I'm skeptical that he can win the way he plays. Just another great scorer in the pantheon of "Woulda Shoulda Coulda"s like Iverson and Carmello. Exceptional scoring talent, but I feel his iso-heavy style while he sets up a hammock to rest on D just leads to bad things. I can't imagine his teammates enjoy playing with him either. Won't put in the work on D and only passes the ball if he gets hung up on an iso? It's no wonder his second option is a turnstyle of bodies who play just like him. His best chance was playing with Chris Paul, and even he couldn't stand playing with Harden.

Teamwork is awesome... As long as your team is doing all the work!

He's actually had decent to good defensive seasons (or at least some games) with Chris Paul and Westbrook. It's just such a tiring style of play and it leads to his teammates not feeling involved in the game because they are not involved in the offense. He can and does play defense when he has another CP3 or Westbrook to alternate offensive plays with.

He can win but his best shot came in the middle of the Warriors juggernaut. Dues have come from all the win now moves they made back then. They did come close once but there's a danger to going all in when you have competition that good.

i think this was a given in the NBA circles after the heat and the lakers who prioritized cap space for 2021 all of a sudden spent it last month on moves they didnt necessarily had to make at the time. i think they knew it was coming.

next summer's FA class is looking REAL thin now. only kawhi is left. oh and of course the GOAT, alex caruso.

In other words, the kind of players that will get you stuck having the dreaded 7-8 seed if you give them max money.
