Lots of guys getting lots of money Santi Aldama, Brook Lopez, Jake LaRavia, and lots of the signings from Atlanta, man. Well Knicks have to benefit when some money gets squeezed. Tre Mann anyone ? Trey Lyles, Nance, for the vet min

There must be something more to it. Maybe he was a locker room distraction?

I'd prefer mann and Anthony assuming he gets bought out, over Clarkson.

I dunno - isn't he best friends/teammates with Hunter? And he knew Mitchell from growing up in Westchester?

I'm going to right off a bad year on a Utah team that wanted to lose for Clarkson.

Guy has balls and can get into the paint --- we need guys who can use the dribble to pressure the D.

He's not perfect but could be a solid add on cheap deal and more talented than probably 90% of guys in our range.

Wow! The Rockets are looking really good...nice mix of young talent and vets that are ready to win and have won. Rockets looking like a top 2-3 team in the west

How in the world can they do this all under the cap after getting Durant ?

Think that means they are going to be paying 3rd string center $8M per. You've just signed Adams and have Sengun.

Houston cornering market on offensive rebounds with Sengun, Adams, Capela, Amen and Eason.

I agree with Alpha --- look at the Kennard deal below. Guys on KFTV and KFS were hoping he'd be a $5.5M TMLE guy but he got $11M. Look at Finney Smith, Capela, T Jones 1 for $7M when he was vet min last year and on and on.

It's usually this way where guys get more than you are thinking (HOPING) but yes I agree with Alpha on many of these deals.

Jerome got lit up in the playoffs on D - metrics were apparently so bad they had to stop playing him and left sour taste around the league after his great year.

I tend to agree - think Jerome > Merrill.
