Rockets Declining Parsons Contract?

Bosh not unrealistic. LeBron yes. Sign and trade to Wolves Parsons/Asik/Picks for Love? Will keep their hope of the all white guy team alive.

 

Wasn't there a grace period after this current CBA was agreed upon? Could that happen again?

 

This has been discussed at the beginning of the thread and the supposed value of his QO looks to be $3.9 mil. Some here are completely ignoring this fact and speaking as if we can sign a max guy and then sign Parsons with Bird Rights, but it's simply impossible. It's also hard to imagine us trading for a 3rd star and not including Parsons in the deal.

 

Once LeBron re-ups in Miami why would Bosh leave?

 

If the CBA got redone in 2017 and they still had the repeater tax in there then my guess is that it would take effect immediately since it would be a carry over from the prior CBA.

A grace period is usually for something new and radically different.

 

Maybe Miami no longer wants him?

 

Sorry. Clutchfans, a lot of times, is too big for its own good because the threads grow too fast to actually read.

Maybe the listing I saw for Isaiah Thomas was wrong at about $2.9M. I think they would qualify under the same provision and be based off the same #21 pick (Nolan Smith in 2011) and thus have equal numbers.

$3.9M (and probably even $2.9M) completely eliminates the chance of signing Anthony. Even eliminates the chance of holding onto Asik for a year and just clearing Lin and Jones to be able to offer someone like Dirk $10.8M. Man, I do not understand this decision at all.

 

No problem. At least you knew about his large QO, unlike many others that are jumping in and assuming he has a ~$1 mil cap hold. I don't understand it either, but I would like to think that Morey has a plan here, especially after what Les said last month.

You guys need to start looking at all possible scenarios involving keeping Parsons and adding a 3rd superstar instead of spending time looking at scenarios involving signing-and-trading Parsons.

 

for the first time, I actually agree lol.

 

What if we unload Asik and/or Lin, then acquire big money player, then sign Parsons with Bird Rights?

 

I honestly haven't the faintest idea what we're going to do. The only thing I'm sure about is the fact that we are putting ourselves in position to get a 3rd max player if said player so chooses and maybe a couple breaks go our way. I would love it if Parsons moving wasn't involved in these scenarios, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how that would go.

Depends on your definition of big money. Definitely not Melo territory.

 

yes you are 100% right...theyre just going to let another team buy him instead.

 

That won't happen either.

 

That would be the most idiotic thing the Rockets could do. No reason to decline Parsons' option just to save less than $400k.

 

Whatever Parsons signs for to stay with Houston won't matter if/when Asik and Lin are moved.

 

Translation: Chandler is an important trade asset. I hope Morey trade him and not me to some crap team.

 

No one can take away your consistency from you.

 

It absolutely matters if we intend to sign a free agent to a large contract.
