    Completely not thread worthy. However I would like feedback.

    Sign Ariza(9-10mil/yr) and split the rest on Jameer Nelson and Camby

    Trade Canaan for a scrub big body who can somewhat defend PF and Back-up injury plagued frontline.. I envision a player similiar to Cole Aldrich-like

    Match offersheets for Daniels

    Bev/Nelson/Johnson
    Harden/Daniels/Johnson
    Ariza/Covington
    Jones/DMO/Big-Man through Canaan trade
    Howard/Camby/Big-Man through Canaan trade

    Now this isn't championship worthy but it allows us space to keep improving the team. Ariza and Young guys who will get time to show skills will be tradeable.. We will have cap space next season to sign some decent crop FA's



    IF we match Parsons.. we are locked with no way to improve our team for years.. We KNOW that team isn't championship worthy

    heck if we get Ariza and Parsons.. with no way to improve we KNOW that team also isn't championship worthy

    With the above we can keep mixing/matching/play with roster to keep improving



    IF they sign Parsons.. even if they get Ariza they are stuck for YEARS with no Championship hopes in sight or ways to improve

    That would make me a VERY happy Rockets fan going forward

    Camby? Camby is OLLLLLLLLLLLDDD. He will most likely never play in another NBA game and he sure as hell won't be able to play back-up to Dwight for 15 minutes a night.

    What is fascination with Jameer Nelson?? This guy had ONE glorious season with Dwight in 2009 and has been below average since then.

    I am in no way a cap expert, but I thought we could spend all our cap. After we do that we can still match parson, making us go over the cap. Parson would become basically free (cap wise).

    Yes.. but if you sign Parsons you have zero cap space going forward for any future FA's.. your locked into that team you have for years with really no way to improve. Sorry that team isn't championship caliber and it'd suck to be stuck with it

    Depressing until you have a break-out player from the vipers and trade Ariza/Peli first/Breakout player/cap filler for a legitimate Max or if no-one bites you clear capspace by trading Ariza for a very good draft pick which also clears enough cap to sign a Max next FAgency- possibly a Love

    Dream scenario?

    By next year you have Love, a Lottery pick from Pelis and a High 1st from the Ariza trade

    Now a free agency like that is a dream scenario and while unlikely isnt completely impossible. You can come up with all kinds of great scenarios without being tied by Parsons contract

    I appreciate your optimism...anything good (even virtually impossible ones) make me feel a bit better.

    Would prefer Brooks to Nelson honestly. And come on, Camby? Was Mutombo not available?

    Parsons' contract only limits future options as it relates to the luxury tax. Anyone we sign to a multiyear deal with the cap space will have us operating over the cap for the next 3 years, including Ariza. So I really don't see the advantage to pursuing him.

    However, I'm grumpy and don't have a better plan, so carry on.

    Also...I thought that if we matched Parsons offer not all of the 15million would count against the cap? I thought that only a very small portion would cont vs the cap thus making matching the offer almost a no-brainer.

    You lost my curiosity with the Camby talk, then you lost my attention by declaring we KNOW isn't title contenders with Parsons in the lineup.

    Haha he said Camby. I'd rather ask Mutumbo to come out of retirement.
