Is it possible to sign n trade parsons, jones dmo to wolves for k.love and, then trade Lin for a 2nd round pick to philly, leaving cap room to sign melo?
Before people freak out about Dallas, remember that Parsons' agent, Fegan, is friends with Cuban. This is at the very least a favor from Cuban to bid up Parsons' value. There's no chance Morey made Parsons a RFA just so he can see his daughter's dream boy go to Dallas.
It makes more sense to go after Lowry than Melo to me anyway. We need a legit starting PG in the worst way. If we can get Lowry then Beverly can go back to being a spark off the bench which his game is more suited to anyway. Then we get Parsons resigned and bargain hunt for a backup big and wing shooter/defender. I just don't like the idea of having 2/5 of our starting lineup be as god awful on defense as Harden/ Melo would be.

Listen... if we get Lowry... it actually makes the pitch to Melo/Love all that better. Why wouldn't Melo want to sign with a hard nosed team... that's what a Lowry/Bev combo does. It provides the grit we need. "warriors" as Melo stated in that interview... The odd man out could be Parsons, but who knows... PG Lowry/Bev SG Harden/ James Johnson SF Melo/ Garcia PF T Jones/ filler C Howard/ filler or PG Lowry/Bev SG Harden/ James Johnson SF FA/etc PF Love/ T Jones C Howard/ filler Either way... Morey hits big. Real big. Because that's a championship caliber team.
AHH this news! YES It's happening. Lowry said he ain't going to a lot of cities. And Houston was the first to meet him.
