37 and Unwanted: Math Says No

So the market says ‘no’ to Veteran X? Funny — his agent’s phone has been colder than a frozen rim since July.

The Rockets aren’t ignoring him — they’re optimizing for cap space and two-way hustle. Sorry, Coach Killer — you’re now just a negative ROI.

Thunder’s youth movement proves it: cheaper, hungrier, and statistically more valuable.

Data doesn’t lie — but it does judge harshly.
