Rockets signing Parsons and Bosh??

[Kidbasketball20]

If the Houston Rockets can sign Chris Bosh and do both transactions in time, the team will match the offer sheet of Chandler Parsons, according to a source.

Parsons signed a three-year, $46 million offer sheet with the Dallas Mavericks.

If the Rockets do not acquire Bosh, Parsons will be a tough call for the Rockets.

So either they're signing both of them, or neither if they miss out on Bosh? :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

Morey continues to be a dumbass

They need to trade Haren. Seriously.

[Geriatric]

I think he means if Chris Bosh situation is still undecided when the time expires on the three day window to decide on Parsons, that Houston will have to decide whether they want to close the door on Bosh by matching Parsons.

They can only get both of them if Bosh is signed first due to salary cap rules.

[UK2K]

Looking like Bran waits til Monday.

If he goes to Cleveland, not only does he crush Heat fans but he royally ****s Bosh and Wade.

[Carbine]

Parsons just signed the offer sheet today. The 72 hour window has just started I would presume.

So they have until Sunday noonish to match the offer.

[LoneyROY7]

You know Bran's gonna stretch this out too. :lol

Good job Morey.

[Ballin095]

LOL at Bosh. If Bosh was smart he would sign with Houston so that they could have parsons still on the team lmao.

[YouGotServed]

Bron needs to stop stalling and choose a team already. :facepalm

It's not Bran's fault that Bosh can't nut up and make his own decisions.

It is.

[Geriatric]

Maybe Bosh has been informed and is just holding off on acting to not steal LeBron's thunder. If not, and his future is being held up while he waits like some average fan, then I agree, Bosh should take the max in Houston and let them make his new team better by retaining Parsons.

Don't sit around letting another man make your decisions for you when you've got millions on the line.

[noob cake]

Bran is screwing the Rockets. If he could just announce, Bosh signs with Houston. Morey matches/overpays Parsons for that 3/4th option.

Beverly
Harden
Parson
Bosh
Dwight

is pretty much best team on paper.

[GOBB]

Can Rockets even keep Parsons at $15mil per when Dwight makes $21, Bosh $24 (assuming he signs lets say) and Harden at $14mil???

How is he screwing Houston??? Utter nonsense by you. But it's ok because if Bron decides to stay in Cleveland you're username becomes supa he@d :rolleyes:

Why couldn't they?

[GOBB]

Why couldn't they?

Answer a question with a question. Wow, you're unique. Anyway, there is a salary cap and a luxury tax in the NBA? And maybe just maybe adding $15mil per with Chandler contract may no be feasible?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I'm not 100% but I believe they can IF they sign Bosh first then match the offer sheet...

[GOBB]

I'm not 100% but I believe they can IF they sign Bosh first then match the offer sheet...

Yeah they can do that because if they trade Lin that help frees up cap space to sign Bosh. So they can go over the cap for their own players (Parsons). I'm just wondering is that even a thought in Houston? The luxury tax? Stuff like that.

I mean that is a lot of money tied up with 4 players in 3 years. Basically 4 max contracts.

Yeah--and a team LeBron may face in the Finals in the future. If LeBron can weaken another contender, why not? It is the league's fault, and the fault of betas like Carmelo and Bosh, for allowing one player to exert so much power over other players and entire franchises. All of free agency is in a holding pattern because no one wants to make a move until they hear about LeBron. You have players who command max salaries like Bosh and Carmelo sitting on their hands waiting for LeBron. You have teams which have a backup plan and a backup backup plan if they whiff on the star SF's who can't move an inch until LeBron finalizes his status.

Yet...people call LeBron a beta? :roll: This level of dominance over a league and even a large state is as alpha as it gets!

His answer was valid. It's completely within the rules of the CBA for the Rockets to sign Bosh and Parsons (assuming Lin and Asik's contracts are cleared out in time). However, I doubt it will happen. The Pelicans don't technically have the cap room yet to absorb Asik's, Lin's deal isn't even mentioned yet, and Bosh is still waiting around for Lebron to make up his mind.

[raiderfan19]

The rockets can't actually make bosh the offer they thought they could. Howard, harden and parsons cap hold plus the min cap holds means even if they got rid of every player but harden and Howard, they still couldn't sign bosh to the contract they offered without renouncing parsons.

[jrong]

please bron, take all the time :lol

The Omega Alpha retired before LeBron was drafted.

Finals: Jordan 6/6, James: 2/5

FMVP: Jordan: 6/6, James: 2/5

Was team's best player in Finals:

Jordan: 6/6, James: 4/5

Played well in Finals:

Jordan: 6/6, James: 3/5

Was largely responsible for team's Finals loss:

Jordan: 0/0, James: 1/3


This is your brain on facts. Any questions?

[Eric Cartman]

Sign Parsons and don't sign Bosh unless you want to enter salary cap hell for the next 3-4 years.

Obviously I am aware of that what I'm asking is were the Rockets willing to go over the cap and into luxury territory by matching Parsons offer sheet. Still haven't answered that which is my ultimate question. So both of your answers aren't answering what I am asking.

[SwishSquared]

Larry Coon claiming that for Bosh to get full max before matching Parsons' OS, they'd have to get rid of Lin, Jones, DoMo, and Asik and decline team options (at least what I remember seeing from his tweets). They'd then be able to use exceptions to fill out roster (including bringing back renounced guys).

LOTS of moving parts to make it work, especially now that the official cap is slightly lower than expected. This is forcing New Orleans to make moves to clear enough space just to trade for Asik. I think Lin + Jones/DoMo + pick to Philly is easy to pull off. However, coordinating the Asik trade (with NO's required moves) and locking down Bosh prior to potentially matching Parson's offer sheet is a heck of a feat (assuming Mr. Coon is correct in regards to all of these moves- I trust him, as he knows CBA better than just about anybody in media).

It's possible that Bosh accepts just under full max, though. No other situation really gives him option of truly competing for a title making $20M+ per year alongside an established C with him not carrying too heavy a load, right? I suppose you could argue Phoenix, but Houston's closer to a ring than Phoenix imo.

Why wouldn't it be feasible?

You keep asking questions without offering any reason as to why they couldn't.

But to answer your question, they absolutely can and will if Bosh signs with Houston in the next 48 hours.

[AKADS]

So even if the Rockets could sign both Parsons and Bosh. Which I thought the cap wouldn't let happen. But to get those they need to trade Asik and Lin.

The Asik trade has not gone through yet as the Pelicans don't have the Cap space to take him on without getting rid of someone first.

And Lin hasn't been traded yet.

They only have 72 hours from when the offer sheet was given to them from the league.

So assuming that happened this afternoon. They would have to the trades all go through by Sunday afternoon and approved by the league.

I would love to seem them take to long and loose out on Bosh, not get the paperwork in time for Parsons and be stuck with two players they were willing to give away.

I am not a Morey fan, or a Dwight fan, or a Harden fan

[kentatm]

It's possible that Bosh accepts just under full max, though.

the way I read Coon and some convos he had on Twitter today it sounds like the only way for the Rockets to get both is for Bosh to take less than the max.

[coin24]

Bosh is a legit retard if he turns down Houston max:lol :lol

You know his pro wife is ditching him in a few years

[AKADS]

What if Bosh doesn't sign with the Rockets and get a S+T to the Cavs.

Wouldn't Riley Take a package around TT or Benett. if he was going to loose him for nothing.

You only said if it was 'feasible', so I assumed you meant by CBA rules. In terms of the Les Alexander being able to stomach going high into the luxury tax and paying Parsons $15 million a year with a max Bosh...no Rocket fan really knows, but Les has always tried to avoid the luxury tax as much as possible. He has said he's willing to spend for the right players, but I'm not sure Parsons is that player.

I'd say about 70% no, and 30% yes (since you never know, his desire to win a ring might outweigh the tax).

Gotcha that's all I was wondering if Rockets were willing to pay luxury tax. Which is most likely to happen if you sign Bosh and match Parsons offer sheet.

[GOBB]

Reports are Houston plans to match Parsons once Bosh is signed (cap is cleared). So they are going to pay big bucks. Damn that's a solid 4.

Outside of Beverly who else is at PG?
