    dude, the market for a role player making $15 mil, with a 15% trade kicker and 3rd year player option is about as good as the market for Jeremy Lin. We would have to give something UP to trade parsons.

    Rockets can offer T-Wolves cap room, Jones, Motiejunas, rights to Papanikolaou, Gentile, and Capela for K.Love

    Wolves could even add a player they wish to salary dump

    The cap room would allow them to offer a deal to Deng or Ariza

    I say throw a big number at Monroe or Bledsoe, match Parsons and see what happens. Are there any restrictions on offering RFA's while waiting on your own RFA?

    Legit question: What felt worse: seeing Lillard can that three or seeing that Bosh was staying in Miami??? Probably Lillard, but c'mon....

    Other than Gasol, who are the unsigned UFAs left on the market? Instead of $18M on Bosh before matching Parsons, that money should be spent if Les is serious about going over the cap. 2 or 3 good players totaling $18M should mean something.

    Yes, keep rolling the dice begging every free agent on the table to come. I don't see how this can possibly fail.

    We make another last minute pitch to Melo. Do it Morey.

    Go for Gasol and anything else you can.

    Match Parsons.

    Call it a day.

    No you have to let him go. Next year is lost anyway even with Parsons. Create cap space in 2015. You sign Parsons that's 15 mill, with whatever Dwight/Harden make in 2015....signing Parsons means you lose a shot at a max player next year.

    You're not letting him walk for nothing.

    You match Parsons and hope Jones and D-Mo continue to develop.

    I like this idea. I'm not sure both would take $10 million though.

    Didn't Dwight already say he didn't like playing with Gasol? So why do you guys keep bringing up his name?

    Deng is coming off a $14M/yr deal and turned down a $10M/yr extension

    Ariza wants a $12M/yr deal

    Woj: Luol Deng, Trevor Ariza.

    Will likely match Parsons. Houston hoped for LeBron, Bosh, Carmelo and went 0-3.

    Josh Smith is the best and most realistic option

    We could use our cap space (9 million) to sign a point guard, backup wing or centerm and then trade Asik in a 3 team trade for Smith

    We could sign Gasol or Deng, then trade Asik for a upgrade at the point guard position like maybe Rondo or Thomas in a s&t deal.
