Is this free agency more exciting than 2010?

    2010 was regarded as a huge FA period, but this has been really crazy as well. Which free agency do you think was better/more exciting as an NBA fan?

    Its BOOOOORING. Nothing is really happening because 20+ teams are waiting on 2 players none of them will get. The rockets will suffer because of this I think. If they strike out and have to pay parsons a max contract kiss their roster flexibility goodbye for 3 years at least

    If the Rockets get somebody, yes. If not, no.

    Nope. It should be titled "2014: The Indecision."

    Overall, it's not even close to 2010. I doubt that happens again.

    For Rockets fans in particular, this year far exceeds 2010.

    Not as exciting here, but much more exciting on Basketball Twitter. The sheer volume of inside info and crazy twists this year has been amazing. I mean, that Jason Kidd story was INSANE and was just a week ago and now people are barely taking about it because its been overshadowed by the free agency stuff. Craziness.

    It will either be epic or anti-climatic.

    Mark me down as someone who doesn't really ever care. I'm a fan who just waits for fall camp. I don't think I'm alone on this feeling I think currently signed players and most all coaches feel the same way. I know JVG did

    I'm not saying my way of looking at FAncy is better than yours. I just want to chime in that many of us don't hit F5. If it happens; it happens

    And for the record, I'm not excited about anyone. Melo is one of y favorite NBA players to watch, but I don't want him on the rockets. I don't want Love or Bosh either

    But that's beside the point.

    I just wait it out. Will only care when something happens to my team

    I get where you're coming from. I, personally, just love all the story lines about it, waiting to see where everyone goes, etc. It's exciting for me.

    I would say so. We have a lot at stake right now.

    We could either win big or lose big. Once again, everything depends on 'Bron.

    For it to be memorable, something has to come out of left field. If Bosh or Melo comes to Houston, it's big, but it's not something out of left field.

    Not really.

    Lebron, Bosh and Melo are all older and wanting more security without losing their objectives of winning titles

    Media making a circus out of all this as usual. As expected

    Something out of left field is we get joakim Noah for greasing a blockbuster

    Point is we somehow some way increase our defense.

    This summer has been way too boring so far.

    Unless all the major stars change teams, this will not measure up to 2010.

    I guess my definition of exciting is a lot different than waiting around for stupid "sources say" tweets.

    This is the worst free agency ever all the dam games these players are doing just make it bad for the game.
