lol. true that. Rockets what a disaster of a free agency for them. Parsons to the Mavs what a great signing, Mavs are back going for contention again.
no that would be 2/12 or something

No clue why the fuck Houston didn't just NOT sign Ariza and match on Parsons. I get that they missed out on their big targets but even in a vacuum Parsons>Ariza even with the money involved makes sense. Morey seems to be overthinking.
lol houston. offseason botched (boshed?) total.
Probably saving that money so they can go after Love next year.

Kings have Giant Gonzalez on their summer league roster
Why would it be dumb? The Bulls would be paying most of Boozer's salary. He's still a 15 and 10 PF. On a deal like that, he's a steal.
Your mistake is in thinking of them as players rather than as trade pieces, which is how Morey is viewing Ariza. All he wants is assets to trade for the next superstar, he's not interested in how the player actually fits with the team.
Trade assets? The Rockets have no one to trade (and no way they're giving up Harden or Howard), Ariza signed with the Rockets as a player, not a trade asset

For that reason, you don't keep Parsons why?
It looks like maybe if they get over the cap but under the tax threshold it will fit.

Exactly. They could have kept him on his 900k salary and traded him as a huge trade asset.
Morey is the CP3 of GMs. No one else in the league likes him and his team never does shit in the playoffs.

Parsons at 3/$45 is a better trade asset than Ariza at 4/$32, especially if Ariza plays as inconsistently as he has in previous "non-contract" seasons.
Because the contract Parsons signed is basically untradeable for anything of value. I mean, they literally couldn't trade him in the first year, and then after that he's just an expiring.
Morey got bodied by Cuban, but he just took advantage of Morey's self-inflicted decision not to pick up Parson's sub-$1 million option.

Okay, I can't photoshop, but that's so bad. Half cartoon white arm, half cartoon black arm.

It was the only one I could find with him in a Bulls uniform, haha.
Now that it's official, I had to get a shitty picture of him wearing black and red.
Maybe he can go back to Cleveland too.
Is LAL not going to re-sing Ryan Kelly? I thought he did alright last season all things considered.

Mirotic's deal is 3 years 17 million.
Now that he's in the fold, I wouldn't mind looking around and seeing if Taj Gibson has any interest around the league.
I like Taj, but we desperately need another wing guy.

Yeah, more than I thought it'd be but not shocked.
Won't they have to do some housework to give him that???

Should have gotten Afflalo when we had the chance.

what about Noah for Love now? Love and Pau could provide better offense, that's for sure. It would be nice to cockblock Cleveland from getting better as well. Also, Bulls need to add more white guys. They didn't add enough this offseason, I believe. *sarcasm*

Minny doesn't want Noah unless you also throw in a ton of young prospects.
it seems crazy to be talking about trading Noah or Gibson already because of an unknown Euro who hasn't played a minute in the NBA is now on the team.

I was just thinking about how Noah's stock probably won't ever be higher.

The team would be way too quiet without Noah.
Still don't see Lance taking a 2-year deal. But if he does it's a steal for the Bob...Hornets.

How does Indy not do a sign and trade to get something back?
Ninja Scooter

for 2/$20 million I'll be disappointed if Mitch doesn't get on the phone.
Because CHA has the space and it's not a max deal so there's no reason to get Indy involved.

It's not an actual offer, just a hypothetical. But given the way Roberts' deal with the Hornets is constructed, it seems as if the Hornets are trying to preserve as much cap space for the coming year as they can. Seems to indicate they're going after someone with a $10m+ starting salary and Lance is the only guy that fits that bill right now.

Houston thinking they can "basketball reasons" themselves into a sign & trade? Kind of thought that went out the window once they put pen to paper on a RFA and delivered it to the original team. At least, that's what I came away with when Charlotte signed Hayward to an offer sheet.
That's how Bulls fans rate their players. Right there with "hard-nosed" and "gritty".

And Kobe Bryant.
After all, he said(a few years ago or something) the only players that play with that edge and killer instinct in the league are Derrick Rose and Chris Paul.
Besides him.
Argue with Kobe about it, he could have named tons of players.
He would start on the Lakers. Randle ain't ready

They are targeting next summer for a run at a guy like Marc Gasol.
There would be no defense on that team if Noah got traded for Love. You win championships with defense. Lakers, Detroit, Boston, LA again, SAS. Miami, even when Dallas won they won with great defense.
I know they are targeting 2015 when their big contracts come off the books but it's disappointing to think that they are probably gonna suck again this year, even in an underwhelming eastern conference.

That's one WOJ got wrong. WOJ said other teams were making it real hard for the Heat to retain Birdman. If Birdman is healthy, that's good for the Heat to keep him.

So Dallas thought twice about that sign-and-trade proposition.
