    yea. Only cost of living at this point. And Houston has been rising the past five years in that regard too.

    Dude, those were options we explored. Kevin Love isn't exactly a free agent yet. :rolleyes: We met with Lowry and he chose Toronto.

    I have not seen anything stating that the Heat were offering 4 years/ $88 million dollars to Bosh. I know many have speculated a max deal for Bosh with the Heat because of Riley offering McRoberts the MLE and Granger the BAE. But I have not seen anything specific about the number of years that contract would be for Chris. Do you have a link? Thanks!

    sign and trade him to miami fit bosh...that way we will be able to keep parsons while also having our mid level exception... it would be great if we could keep jones because he fits our team so well

    Either one will be fine. If that S&T scenarino does go through we still have a perimeter defense problem

    Hill with the MLE, Marion for the BAE?

    Bev/Johnson
    Harden/Daniels
    Parsons/Marion
    Bosh/Jones
    Howard/Hill

    Could that be a title contending rotation?

    For those complaining that Bosh is not worth Max money, It's not our money to spend so I don't care from that regards and this is the last year we have to go after an all star caliber player while keeping parsons. Who else is there than that can be as big of an upgrade as Bosh at 4? Klove would be a trade that involves parsons so that's not comparing apples t apples.

    You just KNEW the sexy options would pass up houston. This city attracts misfits - not the in crowd despite being the 4th biggest city in the nation and very white collarn. I'll wear that badge with pride . So long big names have fun at the strip mall that is LA....

    But seriously, give Lowry $50 mil and a defensive stud at 3 $30 mil ((Avery Bradley)) and this team is set. We still lose to Portland with Bosh!

    It will be hard for Melo to give up the extra 30 mil . As much it would be nice to have Melo.

    ^This. This is our last year for a while to massively upgrade our team by getting a big FA. We won't have enough cap space next year and certain not the year after that. Even though we'll be well over the cap, it's not our money and we're likely not flipping major assets after this. We're going to keep this potential core together and make a run at several championships.

    Parsons was exposed in the playoffs. He's even worse for us because our superstar 2 cannot play d to save his life. Trading parsons means we prioritize a defender next to harden. Can't imagine a max for bosh and $9 mil for parsons... Barff

    Can almost guarantee we will use it on our Euros, probably Llull and Papanikolaou.

    Ok, let's talk trade. Besides Kevin Love, who's elses name is out there that would makes us better as a team than having Parsons/Bosh? I'm talking about players that are rumored to be on the move.

    Please stop with this nonsense. Bosh is a 9 time ALL STAR in his PRIME! we are in win now mode. Patterson isn't even in the same stratosphere as Bosh.

    Fact is we have the cap room and Bosh is a proven winner and perfect compliment to Dwight, Harden. These type of players don't hit free agency very often and when they do the likelyhood of signing them is remote.
    Get er done Morey!

    The Rockets were dead last in mid range shooting last season. Bosh was #2 as a player in mid range shooting. Figure it our yourself.
