    Well looking on the bright side of life: Dallasbasketball.com is in full meltdown mode with the news about Mark Cuban losing out on Whiteside (Plan A) and Batum (Plan B). Mr. Shark Tank is really getting roasted - my favorite was the guy who called him a "****ing donkey". Ah, good times...

    For sure! They have lost Parsons who's looking at a 4 yr/$94M offer from Portland. Conley still has a visit scheduled with the MBT (Mav Brain Trust - now that's a misnomer) but that's it. The MFFLs have started screaming for Cuban to sign Dwight Howard. It just don't get any better than this...

    Watch Cuban offer D-Mo something ridiculous just to mess with us after their plans went to s**t.

    would you give Wade 1yr/$20 mil to come to Houston? I don't think he's a good enough shooter. to me it's amazing he's still as effective as he is at his age

    ^^^^Absolutely on Wade.

    You may all exhale. Jeremy Lin will not be returning to Houston. :)

    LOL if you think that's enough. Wade will definitely cost more than $20M and there's not a chance he takes a 1Y deal, too much mileage on those knees to risk that.

    But wait! There's more! Part of the Mavs pitch to Hassan Whiteside included - you guessed it - another animated video:

    Cuban truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

    With Lin to Brooklyn there's one less team potentially interested in trading for Rubio, Knight, Bledsoe or whoever is available at that spot...

    A lot of pieces have fallen into place:

    Whiteside
    Batum
    DeRozan
    Mozgov
    Lin

    Am I missing anyone?

    9 am on 7/1 and a lot of action already....

    Action begets action, since now the options for many teams have narrowed further.

    Lke Daryl said, "too many dollars chasing too few players." An unprecedented offseason...

    Just some smaller ones like Ish Smith and DJ Augustine...and worth keeping in parentheses that the Blazers offered Parsons the max
