Cleveland just traded for Lonzo Ball, could mean that they expect Ty Jerome to leave via FA. I'd take him over the guy from Minnesota.

Clutchfans consensus seems to be is that it's because Whitmore isn't coachable and it's time to get what you can for him.Β Β 

I mean, I’ll buy that. Kid is kind of a dick that talks passive aggressive shit about Ime every time they stick a microphone in his face.Β

Bring in Beasley for minimum once he's through this mess and let him rehab here. Would be awesome to have him coming off the bench as the 8-9th guy.Β  Dude was in line to make at least a max MLE deal after a great year of 3+D with the Pistons.Β

My suspicion is that Durant wouldn't want to play with Harden, anyway.Β  There was plenty of chance to do so under Morey on a better Rockets team.Β Β

How they ace their offseason: You could make the argument Houston has done it already. In a period of two weeks, the Rockets traded for Kevin Durant and agreed to new contracts for Fred VanVleet, Aaron Holiday, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green. They also signed coach Ime Udoka to an extension. The Durant trade was significant not just because the team acquired a top-10 player but also because its depth was kept largely intact.

One move they should make: Let's expand this to multiple moves. The first is to sign Dorian Finney-Smith (if he opts out of his contract with the Lakers) to a two-year, $28 million contract. The VanVleet restructured contract (they reduced his $44.9 million team option to nearly $20 million) gives Houston the flexibility to use the full non-tax midlevel exception and not exceed the first apron. The team would, however, need to waive the $8 million non-guaranteed contract of Jock Landale. The second and most important move is to sign Durant, Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason to extensions. Smith and Eason are eligible to sign until Oct. 20, and Durant has until June 30, 2026, to take a two-year deal.
