    Okay, now tell me how they managed to sign both Asik and Lin to an offer sheet with no cap room?

    I'll wait.

    Yep its the MO. I have figured it out now. Especially with any rookies or new posters that dont side with Morey. They attack and call names. They just found one or two with more intelligence than them finally and lose every single conversation lately on the organizations performance.

    1) Who said they had "no cap room."
    2) They haven't signed either to an offer sheet yet.
    3) They haven't even agreed to terms with Lin on an offer sheet have they?
    4) Bima's initial thoughts were based on the idea they would be bringing back Gogi. My guess is that renouncing his rights will make up the room they need to sign Lin to an offer sheet if it gets to that. Either way, Lin is not a max player. He won't get an offer that requires max room.
    5) My point was they didn't have max room AFTER the offer to Asik

    Um, Asik is technically not signed yet. And there hasn't been an offer for Lin. That's why Lin is meeting with the Rox tomorrow.

    If the Rockets would have offered Gordon the max, and it was publicized in the media, DD would have accused Les for playing games with the fanbase knowing all along that he wouldn't have to actually pay up.

    Parsons and Asik are young and have upside, the kind of players we want to build a roster with (although not necessarily around).
    Martin, Lowry, and Scola are the only veterans left on the roster, and Morey has been trying to trade all of them. If he lost them for nothing (like Lee leaving as a FA), I'm sure everyone would be complaining.
    If the young guys don't play, it won't be because of the lack of opportunity.

    It really takes a lot of patience not to bash the board idiot. I've tried and I failed tonight. His posts are just insane, but, he can never make his mind up...he's just, here. I also loathe that he reps the Longhorns although he's not even a grad. Dork.

    Stop with the making **** up please.

    Asik I don't like D-Mo I love, White, I love, Lamb, I love......

    I would personally prefer the Bulls match Asik and we go uber young.

    Thanks.

    Yes thats true. If I want that 500 record or playoff record to be built I want it to be with the young guys mostly. Maybe losing 2 or at least one of these veterans out of the 3 to speed the process along. In a trade of course and preferably for a draft pick next year.

    Dragic and Lee were actually the starters at the end of the season. And I'm just curious Miss Cleo, how do you know what players will actually be here and which players will get traded when the Moratorium has not even been lifted yet and the off-season has barely started?

    Wow, the Suns are blowing a max contract on Dragic? Talk about leaving yourself no room to be a contender...they've pretty much given up on trying to win anything considerable for the next 4 years...good ol' phoenix...

    Really, and what deal did they have in case that happened? I mean if Chase can net you a 15, couldn't Lowry net you at least an 11 or so?

    You guys keep drinking the Koolaid - I will keep calling it by it's real name Guyana punch.
