    Three key players in our roster is now gone. Talk about a plan backfiring. Twice.

    I'm glad you started a thread to share this original idea when it wasn't said anywhere else.

    don't think the Asik deal is anywhere near finalized (or will be). We no longer need to trade him to clear cap space. He's back on the trade block now.

    Lin - yes
    Asik - draft pick
    Chandler - maybe

    There are wiser ways to spend 17m than spending them on a backup center and a (bad) backup PG.

    Parsons isn't gone yet. We haven't seen who is going to take Lin and Asiks spots. We ended up with a much better 1st rounder than we had.

    This offseason hasn't gone as planned, but I don't think we end up going into this season with a worse roster once it's all said and done.

    We are not losing Chandler - Lin and Asik were redundant - Morey is not done yet.

    Panic is unnecessary.

    Dude, Parsons is gone. Bosh would have capped us out, so we had no reason not to match Parsons. Now there's no Bosh, so why would we match when we can spend that $15 mil on several players?
