No way Houston matches that offer. They have pipe dreams of landing a huge free agent to pair with Harden and Howard. Parsons eating up $15 mil handicaps them big time.

Maybe a day sooner would have been a killer, but still good timing for the Mavs

Bosh isn't going to the Suns under any circumstance.

He's talking about Houston waiting on Bosh. If they match Parsons they can't sign Bosh.

Got it. My bad. Got the threads mixed up.

#1 - the contract is nuts, but that's the only way the Mavs steal him away from the Rockets. Anything less is a no-brainer for the Rockets to match and pointless for Dallas to offer. He also fits in the front-court really nicely with Dirk and Chandler.

#2 - If the Rockets don't match they messed up BADLY allowing him to become a RFA. Shades of the Boozer-Cleveland fiasco.

Parsons 15m
Dirk 10m

Lolwut

Flying sources all over the place after Lebron's meeting with the Heat.

Chris Sheridan reporting that James-to-Cleveland is a done deal.
Broussard calling BS.
Woj reporting that no commitment was made.
Others reporting that Riley asked Lebron for "one more day" to get his shit straight, apparently.

This needs to end already. What a circus.

I'm enjoying it, but I also don't watch talking heads on ESPN.

Would you rather they discuss baseball?

No, I wouldn't. What am I complaining about? I love NBA free agency

Jeremy Lin to the Sixers with a 1st to clear cap space.

https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/487063214589374464 General G stays in Toronto. Kind of surprised.

All these teams are confident that it's Bron to Cleveland then Bosh to Houston.

Miami is going to suck next year with just Wade, McBob, Danny Granger and Shabazz Napier. Hope those other guys wait a few days to sign on the bottom line.

^ Did you mean Cleveland?

No official outlets yet, but basically every Rocket / Sixer fan is acting like it's a done deal.

Meh. According to this source, it's also conditional on the Rockets getting a max player to sign.

You guys should read @LarryCoon 's timeline right now. He's a great follow, but tonight he has some interesting stuff about Houston's cap situation.

If Hou wants to keep Parsons & add Bosh they have to dump Lin, Jones & Motie with no salary coming back (Suns should take both Jones & Motie) & waive rights to every other player they have basically. Going to be near impossible. I bet they wish they wouldn't have made Parsons an RFA right about now. Good to see Dork Elvis fuck one up.

Dork Elvis? I wish I had photoshop skills

Simmons has called him that for years. I guess that's his nick in the analytics community.
