I'm not real sure how NBA salary cap works, but believe cap is 62 mil.
Howard at 21.5 and Harden at 14 mil ties up 35.5 mil.
So there are about 11 other guys on roster adding. Up to about 10 mil.
And that is if trade Jeremy Lin who has expiring contract at 14 mil.
So hopefully whatever 3rd star comes here for salary between Howard and Harden or perhaps Rockets pay luxury tax in pusuit of championship.
This is trouble Miami has And San Antonio avoids, ie stars that want to make more than 10 Mil per year so teams have trouble affording good role players and paying cap penalties.
