ssspence,
I have two more questions
First Part
Luis Scola + Kyle Lowry are free agents this summer. Aaron Brooks is a free agent the next summer.
Do you think Houston should sign them? If so, how much do you think they will cost to keep? And do you think Morey will resign them?
Now, add those salaries + Kevin Martin + draft picks + current salaries on their payroll. How much cap space to the Rockets have in 2011 and 2012?
Second Part
Do you think the Rockets should build around Yao Ming? And do you think Morey will continue to build around Yao, give him a new contract extension?
If not, how do you think the Rockets replace him? Free agency or a trade?
Do you choose not to resign the above players to maximize free agency opportunities? Do you sign the above players to have a supporting cast on the team following a prospective trade? Or to include in a trade to better your offer?
