Doubt Bledsoe would take a contract at 8/year

I saw Rockets could offer him 11 per year.

Bledsoe is not worth 17 mil a year

Canaan looked great tonight in a win over the Cavs. 28 points.

Canaan blew by Wiggins on one play. He played great.

Well, then he's delusional. He's had one good year, and he missed half of it with an injury. If he's really turning down $12M/year, then he needs to reflect on what "market value" is and realize the Suns signed someone better than him this offseason for half that.

The salary cap is going up. And thus players' salaries will go up as well.
quote:
"Gordon Hayward?" one executive asked, referring to the four-year, $63 million offer sheet the swingman signed with Charlotte and that was matched by Utah. "Yeah, that's a lot of money in 2011 dollars. But it's not a lot of money in 2016 dollars. Guys who got paid the max this year and last year are going to be bargains on the back end of their deal.

This is part of the reason I love the Ariza deal. He's going to be a ridiculous bargain at the end of his deal.

Bledsoe is much better than Thomas, simply because Thomas can't play defense against anyone.

Bledsoe is way better than Thomas.

He doesn't deserve 5 yr 80 mil though, especially since Lowry only got 4 yr 48 mil

Bledsoe played better defense, but not $10M/year better. Or even $6M/year better.

I think he should get about what Lowry got.

That's exactly what he turned down. Lowry probably could have gotten more, and it's hurting Bledsoe. If Bledsoe waits a year, he's likely to get much more as an unrestricted FA. But he has to stay healthy.

All of the guys we've signed have been former Rockets.

And McGrady just retired from professional baseball.

Coincidence? I think not.

Welcome back, T-Mac!!!

Canaan is clutch. I'm starting to think we might have us another Lowry.

Who's playing the 2 when Johnson and cannon are on the floor together?
AG@RICE

Johnson does, but the team philosophy is similar to the rockets in which the 1 and 2 dont really have distinct roles.

The entire offense consists of running the break, jacking a 3 or dumping it down to D-Mo (who passes out for a 3 or throws up a jump hook).

I would like to see us have more of an offense, but at least we are keeping the philosophy consistent at all levels of the organization. Let the players know what their role is/will be at Houston and let them start preparing to get better at that role in the offseason.

But Coach McHale, I beg you - please install some sort of a half-court set. Please

I watched some highlights of the summer league - I really do think Canaan can be a good player. He has a nice shot and is quick. Whoever compared him to Lowry I think is a pretty good comparison.

Now, that was against D Leaguers. Lets see if he can do that in Houston against NBA talent. But I did like what I saw

Lowry is a little stockier though. More of a bowling ball driving the lane etc.

He's pretty much Ibaka when he was drafted.
