Best of luck to Chandler Parsons with his new team. I figured he would probably be traded away anyways. Parsons signed with the Dallas Mavericks. I'm pretty sure he'll put up a heck of a fight for when we take on DAL in our usual Southwest Division matches.
 
Actually, that's not true. Rockets can still match Parson's offer, but they have to get Bosh and trade Lin and Asik before matching.

All of this drama should be settled in 3 days. It starts with Lebron, but Parson's match window lasts 3 days and Bosh's max offer expires with it. I would hope that Lebron wouldn't do Bosh dirty like that.

Now I'm kinda annoyed that I never saw the big 3 in person. Oh well.

I was going to say, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets match the offer and keep Parsons.
 
The way the rules are, they have to first sign Bosh and then they can match Parsons's offer. That's the only way they can have the four max contracts on the roster. They can't match, then take their time offloading Lin and Asik before signing Bosh. Everything has to happen before the match-offer window expires.
 
Well maybe at least now Bosh can put the pressure on Lebron to make a decision or be without him regardless next season. I just read something suggesting how ludicrous all this waiting on everyone else, quote from www.nba.com
Marc-Oliver Robbers, NBA Deutschland: The most confusing thing for me is that everyone is waiting for everyone. Melo is waiting for Bosh’s decision, Bosh and Wade are waiting for LeBron’s decision. LeBron is waiting what the Heat will do, but the Heat have to wait, what their Big 3 will do to know how much cap space they will have. Then the second row with Deng, Parsons and Ariza are waiting what Melo, Bosh,Wade and LeBron will do. And all teams with cap space are waiting for the decisions of the superstars to remain flexible. So everybody is waiting and the worst is, we have to wait, too. LeBron, get the ball rolling!

Made me laugh.


Edit: Oh, and Nerlens Noel is reminding me of Inspector Gadget. The guy says "go-go gadget arm" and nek minnit he's made a defensive play! I shudder to think what happens when he say "go-go gadget hair!"
 
Or the NBA season will start before these guys sign. I guess Miami wouldn't like that.
 
Nerlens looks like a little kid out on the court. But then you realize he's 7 feet tall and go holy crap.

The problem is now they'll be tremendously over paying for him. Morey can either let us have him (we overpaid too imo) or let Cuban troll his ass by paying $15 million instead of the original $4 million.

It's great as a Dallas fan to watch Cuban and Morey bicker when they do bc this is the end result. :lol:
 
So the Suns have been in talks with Isaiah Thomas. Someone's turned our GM into David Khan, and he wants to make an all PG starting Lineup.

Big Domino has fallen. Lebron will be going back to Cleveland, Bosh will go to Houston.
 
So Miami has a ton of cap space, and Dwayne Wade is looking for a job. Maybe they can sign Carmelo and somehow trade for Kevin Love? Would they have to give up their next two or three first round picks to make that happen?
 
Can't see Melo going to Miami. It's possible but they will have to stymie growth for 3 to 4 years.
 
Of course, the rumors are already flying that because Andrew Wiggins wasn't mentioned by name in LeBron's article, that he is part of a trade package for Kevin Love. :lol:
 
That's what his dumb ass gets for demanding max money with the others and disappearing in the Playoffs. And sadly, Miami will pay him it bc he's all they have left.
 
If you haven't heard... LeBron James is taking his talents back to Cleveland. LBJ to go back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. That means the Cavs may need to be taken seriously again. LeBron was talking about stuff like legacy and such in regards to his decision to return to Cleveland. It seems like "all sins forgiven" and "welcome back" for LeBron in coming back to the Cavaliers.

Quite the off-season for Cleveland, eh? The NFL's Cleveland Browns get Johnny Manziel, and now LeBron James comes back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. I just hope King James doesn't talk about "not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7..." in playing for the Cavs.


Elsewhere, Carmelo Anthony's choices now have been narrowed down to the New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls. Wonder what team he'll choose...
 
Lin to the Lakers. Come on, Pat Riley.

What if Pat gets Kevin Love and Carlos Boozer?
 
LOL Bosh trolled Houston. Now they don't have Lin and Parsons will cost them a fortune instead.
 
Isaiah Thomas averages the same statline as Kyrie Irving.
That man is now PHX's backup PG, for only $6.75 million a year, when he easily could have been $8 million+
This means there is always gonna be 2 playmakers on the floor, and probably an easy path to 6MOY.

I'd like to dedicate this song to Dwayne Wade.

I "liked" it, but not because I think Wade's a punk. Eric Carmen is absolutely GREAT. 👍👍

Bosh returning to Miami on a 5 year $118 million deal.

No.......... I don't believe it.

VC goin' to Memphis. Man, that bums me out as Dallas fans really loved having him on the roster. Looks like we'll probably pick up Mo Williams, then, though I would love for us to go after Caron Butler.
 
"According to my sources Lebron James wants to play under Joachim Loew and the German National Team" - Chris Broussard.

Seriously this entire free agency has been ticking me with so many unreliable news reports all citing other unreliable news reports as their sources.

Now Melo is teasing New York and apparently is playing coy with Chicago, even after reports state that a Chicago marriage is not happening.

All I'm saying if Melo has still not decided to take up the extra $60 mil from NY, then he seriously has to be considering leaving. To where, who the Hell knows.
 
I'm still shocked about Bosh staying in Miami. Houston would've been a contender with Bosh in the lineup.

Better to be cruising in the East, than fighting in the West.

Plus, he got more money by staying in Miami because of the fifth year that only the home team can offer.
 
Cleveland has a lot of issues to fix if they want to be contenders, including major depth issues I feel and no decent big men. It's still cool Lebron went back.
Bruno Caboclo had a better game than most would probably have anticipated in Summer League day 1, 12pts on 5-7FG and some nice defensive plays. Looking forward to see Dante Exum play real competition for the first time tomorrow.
 
In the dream scenario, everyone could have went home.

LeBron to Cleveland...

Dwayne Wade to Chicago...

Carmelo to New York...
