More information about the storyline
Bobby Marks: Jock landale exemption is required in order for Houston to stay below the first-place apron. Houston is triggering the first apron as part of Dorian Finney-Smith’s signing and has secured a signature and deal from Clint Capela. These Rockets are 1 of 7 teams, including record trades including Kevin Durant and Capela. The deal may be completed on July 6. Twitter @bobbymarks42 / July 3, 2025
Yossi Gozlan: Either way, I guess the Rockets traded Cam Whitmore and at least cut Jock Landale. This allowed them to fit Dorian Finney-Smith and Clint Capela in line with their reported figures, below the $195.9 million first apron hard hat. -via x.com / June 30, 2025
Keith Smith: The NBA contract that will be fully guaranteed today: Anthony Gill – Yes – $2.5 million landale – Hou – $8 million – NICK RICHARDS – PHX – PHX – $5 million players and teams can jointly agree to postpone the warranty date. -via x.com / June 29, 2025
