Are you guys sure about still being able to sign Bosh anytime within the 72 hours? It used to not be that way. Can somebody link the proof of that?

They still need to clear the cap space for Bosh to sign first.

Clock is ticking.

There have been a whole lot of reports for a long time that haven't come to fruition. What team is it locked into?

It was also reported that Morey had a handshake deal with Parsons to pay him more and look at how that worked out. Verbal deals mean nothing.

Reported by who?

Asik was always the easier of the two to trade.

I think Sheridan is right but LeBron doesn't want it breaking before he announces.

So your expert opinion is that Morey let Parsons become a RFA, offered a Max deal
To Bosh, AND THEN he's just going to try to throw something together IF everything works out?

Really dude?

As of this weekend, the Asik trade wasn't finalized because New Orleans has been unable to create the cap space to absorb Asik.

From July 5th:

quote:
While Morrow continues to attract attention, the Pelicans' primary focus continues to be finding a willing trade partner to move either Eric Gordon, Austin Rivers or center Alexis Ajinca in an effort to create enough cap space to absorb center Omer Asik's $8.3 million salary.

The Pelicans reached a trade agreement on June 25 to acquire Asik from the Houston Rockets. As part of the deal, the Pelicans will also receive $1.5 million in cash, but they agreed to surrender their 2015 first-round pick if it falls between picks 4-19.

On draft night last week, Pelicans general manager Dell Demps said they were still in conversations with the Rockets to finalize the deal.

Actually, Spurs fans sense complete failure on behalf of the Rockets to manage this offseason and it smells good. We just won the Championship, we aren't fearful of the Rockets.

If they end up with a Bosh and Parsons, how is that a failure? Are you retarded?

Morey better land Bosh or he's going to be maxed out with three guys who just lost in the first round lmao. Guy is reckless.

Now that I'm thinking about it, even if they don't get Bosh, Morey will sign someone before the 72 hours is up. This is nba2k14 to him.

I don't know why Rockets' fans continue to talk crap about the Spurs. Rockets haven't done nothing in 20 years.

Now the real question: How much Luxury Tax is Houston willing to pay?

Howard @ 21.4
Harden @ 14.7
Bosh @ 20.8
Parsons @ 15
TJones @ 1.6
DMo @ 1.5
Beverly @ .9
Canaan @ .8
Covington @ .8
Vet min @ 1
Vet min @ 1
Vet min @ 1
---------------
~80mm. Well into the tax there with Beverly needing a raise next year and Jones needing one the following year.

It's not realistic to think that Houston offered Bosh a max deal without assurances that they could get it done. More likely is that they're going to have to give up something good to whoever takes Lin.

When did it look golden?

The first real hope is Lebron not resigning with Miami. It's been the key to bosh all along.

The parsons offer sheet just starts the clock on the rockets. It's not doom and gloom. He was going to sign with someone. The money is insignificant. The rockets were always going over the cap with three max players.

This is what I have been saying for months. I don't see a team taking him without getting Bev and/or Jones. Maybe they don't care about Jones with getting Bosh. But he is obviously a valuable player.

Finally some common sense
