Rockets sign Ariza without using the MLE

[ginobili's bald spot]

be kind with a nervous spurs fan

Hey look on the bright side, maybe the Rockets will do you guys a favor and sign Big Baby.

[Thunder Dan]

Plus a Bosh, and/or possibly Wade in 2010

Cavs core = Lebron

Wade or Bosh coming to play with Aaron Brooks and Trevor Ariza. Thats great

It seems that you are not, in fact, in control of the meaning or interpretation of the NBA's operational rules.

Since there are several other posters whose basketball knowledge I respect that are also taken aback by this sequence of events, what's your point?

IOW, what are you butt-hurt about?

[Ditty]

bass or big baby wont worry me

david lee or paul milsap will

but them two are defintly getting more than the MLE

i prefer bass to houston

[ginobili's bald spot]

When you have the chance to give up millions of dollars to play with a Aaron Brooks or a Trevor Ariza you gotta pull the trigger.

[nil.ball]

if rockets were to get a bass, it better be a damn fish!

[Double-Up]

Get a life. :wgaf:

at this rythm maybe big bab is not so bad, sheed gone, zaza gone and dice playing with our nerves... yeah I know I'm quite desperate right now

Better than going to play with a 39 year old Shaq and Delonte west.

[TheMACHINE]

Wow, we got Ariza for free!

Based on the NBA Disabled Player Exception, you got Ariza for Yao Ming.

[djohn2oo8]

Morey said he is pursuing another free agent, and hoped to announce another signing "in the next week or two." But he said the Rockets mostly likely would acquire a center to replace Yao through a trade this summer.

Well if we were going to be a running team, we could get away with an athletic PF as center.

Stoudamire!!! Go get him Morey!!!

[IronMexican]

You guys are talking about Ron being a team killer, but want Stout? Neither one is a team killer, but I find it funny you say that. Stout is a pussy and complains a lot.

[Lars]

Stoudamire!!! Go get him Morey!!!

I'd offer up McGrady, Battier and Landry for Stoudamire + Jrich or Barbosa.

If that went through we could potentially not be a lottery team in 2009 with a nice starting line up for a run and gun team.

[Culburn369]

...Sure, but please leave Battier's hand back in Houston. Kobe uses it to sight with.

[bdictjames]

I advise the Rockets to go all out on Odom!

[Lars]

Battier did an excellent job on Kobe. Probably as good as anyone in the league 1v1.

[DPG21920]

Any news on Odom?

[IronMexican]

I advise the Rockets to go all out on Odom!

The 6 million they have to offer is sure to get him.

[ginobili's bald spot]

I advise you to learn what bird rights and mid level exception mean.

that....i'll take my 1 in 200 chance at getting john wall.

[robbie380]

also guys....there is about a 100% chance that morey will NOT use the MLE on a free agent but instead use it on our 2nd rounders to sign them to longer deals. morey isn't going to repeat the landry mistake again.

This. Also, we don't want to limit ourselves for next summer's free agency.
