[Gozlan] The Rockets could’ve had $12.3M in extra cap space prior to the Dillon Brooks sign-and-trade if they did the KJ Martin trade separately. With no one to spend it on, they instead used remaining space to give Jeff Green more, and included Martin to the trade to give Brooks more.



This is in regard to the revelation that the Dillon Brooks deal is now for $86 million over four years, more than the $80 million over four years as was originally reported when news of the signing broke. I wish I was better at followint cap ramifications. Not too good at it, lol.

    No better way to spend available cap space than randomly increasing your already agreed upon guaranteed deals for Dillon Brooks and Jeff Green!

    Well at least they maxed out the 20 something best pg in the nba.

    Now Brooks makes more than coach Pop.

    With incentives, it could go up to 90M

    Should have just taken SA’s spot and taken on Bullock for the 2030 PHX pick swap then flip Bullock at the deadline.

    Makes sense now. This is the core veterans for at least the next 2 season depends what we do with the options on FVV, Green and Londale.

  6. Idk what the rockets are doing. Overpay all those players just to miss the playoffs

    You maybe find a contender overloaded on guards but their big is injured and they will include a pick.

    The rockets are the first organization to be ran by baboons

    Was real disappointed we let go of KJ Martin. He’s improved a ton every year and has great chemistry with Sengun. Loved watching Sengun give this dude no look alley oops! Seems like he always wanted more playtime and wasn’t super happy, but no one was happy with Silas. Go kill it KJ!
