Around the League: July 2014

Lebron doesn't care about Josh McRoberts lol. The Heat are depressing. They remind me of a track home in Scottsdale.

wasnt mcroberts the guy who flagrant fouled lebron?

Dallas is trying to get Parsons to sign an offer sheet.

Morey has all his stuff figured out but other teams have eyes too. If Parsons signs before Houston secures Bosh, Melo or whatever, their cap space is gone unless they allow Parsons to walk for nothing.

If I am Dallas, or any other team with honest interest, I call his agent and say here is a max contract period, you have 1 hour to sign it or it's gone. I find it really hard to believe that Parsons would say no to such offer, and you royally screw the Rockets. Nobody needs one more stacked team in the West.

Maxing out Chandler Parsons does not strike me as a winning move.

I agree. Just like in the case of Bledsoe, Hayward, Monroe, etc. But if you really want the guy you have to hit fast and strong. After Houston gets his guy, Morey is matching any offer. That's why Parsons is a RFA this summer, otherwise he'd be playing one more season for 1M.

You guys have to watch this video I found via reddit.

Lol @ Isaiah Thomas' wife "retiring too."

Knicks fans wishing he'd stayed at the swimming pool, Lol!

When you watch a clip like that, you can see why Isiah always seems to worm his way into positions of power. He's so smooth. He has an infectious smile, he's well-spoken, he's entertaining, charming, seems intelligent, seems to really have a feel for the game, etc.

And he's got loads of friends & admirers. Everyone loves that guy. Except for Knicks fans.

Point guard Raymond Felton admits he played poorly for the New York Knicks last season and looks forward to proving he still can play "as an elite point guard" with the Dallas Mavericks.

Oh, dear, Raymond...

[TOO]

Wait, Felton thinks he was once an elite PG? The fat has done ruined his brain.

[Shabazz]

He's definitely top 80 or 90 in the world. Maybe that's what he means by elite.

[TOO]

Maybe he thinks eat and elite are the same thing?

[Mori Chu]

LOL. An El-eat PG.

[Mori Chu]

Ray Felton is an elite PG. 'e'll eat anything you put on his plate!

[iLLmatic]

Well it was a nice run for Miami. I understand why he's going to Cleveland, but I still maintain he has his best chances of winning a championship with us.

[In2ition]

Agreed, unfortunately the redemption story is way more valuable to LeBron.

[Mori Chu]

Since when does Sheridan know anything about what's going on? What does "90%" even mean? This is all crap. There's no news here.

[Superbone]

Did it happen?!
