Ulrich, get ready to mark off that list 1-6 over the next 48 hours. The Lin trade is probably the one step that isn't already a done deal.

Wow watching ESPN Stein just said he is hearing Bosh is open to taking less than the max from the Rockets

Houston and Chris Bosh moving quickly on securing deal, and with Bosh, Rockets will match Chandler Parsons offer sheet, source tells Yahoo.

All us Spurs fans crashing your thread are just paying you rockets fans back for the NBA finals thread.

Let's be honest, this is your time of year to shine with Dork Elvis. The Spurs will take things back over once the season starts.

Enjoy the publicity.

We already have a championship team put together. Not much happening down I-10.

No. The corrections from GS is great info. You're also a good knowledge bball fan. Its just the negatvie/combative posts or comments within posts. I'm not upset or anything, just much rather enjoy the hype and excitment from Rockets fans as this is a big deal for us. We don't have Lebron. We don't have the best coach and draft 3 HOFers. We have a GM making big deals.

Woj said they'd explore S&Ts but not until they get commitment from Bosh. That would be the best way for them to have room for the max.

Please stop the luxury tax BS.
quote:
“I have enough money, but I don’t have enough championships,” Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said. “If you’re not in it to win championships, you shouldn’t be in it.”

Alexander said he could not comment about any detail of the Rockets’ free-agency plans, including the planned presentation to players. But he said he hopes to have the sort of team to dramatically increase the team’s payroll, including paying a luxury tax.

Les will pay the necessary taxes to put together a championship team. He could sell the Rockets for close to $1 billion. He's not going to get hung up over a $10 million luxury tax bill.

But you know Bosh won't be worth 30mm or whatever that contract is at in 5 years. And his raises will be 7.5% rather than 4.5%.

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Les may have changed but it does worry me.

I'm sure Miami said all the same things. Until a couple years of tax hit them and they gave Miller the Amnesty, sold off Joel Anthony and refused to use their MLE.

Then why hasn't he taken it? He could have signed 38 hours ago.



Because he is an attention *****

I've provided quotes from the owners mouth. Unless you have evidence to the contrary, just stfu. You have 20 pages of the same rhetoric, all of which looks like it'll he dead ass wrong.

Mickey Arison has more money than Les and used to say the same thing. Things change a bit when you have to start sending in $20M checks that vanish into thin air.

Again, you're just speculating. Les said he'll do it. He's got a chance to back that up now.

Edit: it's not even worth talking about. All the reports indicate that they'll match on parsons if they sign bosh. Therefore, they will be in the luxury tax.
