Morey needs to let Parsons go now. Jones, etc is worth more than Parsons at 15M per. Cheers to Cuban.

You know what? Fuck the Heat. Those assholes have already won 3 championships and the city of Miami is complaining about sucking next season? Must be nice, I would give my left nut for 1 championship let alone 3. I could stomach years of being shitty for just 1 championship in my lifetime.

Toronto is paying 24M per for Lowry-Vasquez-Patterson. Not a fan.

You could say that about the Suns too. The art is knowing when to do it and when to let people go. Time will tell if he made the right call keeping Vasquez and Patterson at 6M per, but at first glance I can't say I love it.

It seems like 6M might be the new 4M, so maybe not so bad.

Plus the Vasquez deal is 2 years so pretty short and movable if you have to for some reason. Patterson was only a 3 year deal.
Go Suns!

Right call by the Jazz. That franchise can't afford to lose talent for nothing, period.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of maxing a player like Hayward, but like others have said Utah is in a situation where they struggle to get people to pay there and must keep their own.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

This LeBron thing is bordering on insanity. You see the whole "extra security" stuff at his house? That is nuts.

I wonder if they would have done it had he NOT hired the cops. Kind of like a self fulfilling prophecy. You hire the cops, people hear about it, show up.
