    Makes it sound like we'll know Bosh's answer in time to match Parsons?

    Bosh is a B@t$h if he sits there and wait on Lebron to make a decision knowing it will screw the team he is potentially headed to. At this point, Bosh should make up his mind about wanting to stay in Miami WITH or WITHOUT Lebron. I'm thinking he is scared to sign then Lebron back doors and re-sign with Miami along with Melo since nothing has actually been inked yet. Man the Fck up Bosh, you see what they are doing to you. make a decision.

    If No Bosh . . . .. .
    Which situation makes it easier to go Fishing next year?

    With Parsons at 15 . . .or without him and someone else at 10

    I love the rockets but I dunno if the current roster makes it to the championship

    Brilliant plan. You avoid media scrutiny by flying to the place that has the largest concentration of sports journalists on the planet.

    Yep team will peak out as a early 2nd round exit with the Harden/Howard/Parsons core.

    Let Parsons walk and build some depth.

    That logic was true assuming Parsons got a reasonable contract. I think that's changed somewhat now in that if we get Bosh (via whatever method) and match Parsons, we will be too close to the hard cap to use MLE. So might as well just sign.

    well this is what i was hoping their positioning would be. I'm supportive of a Bosh/Parsons over-pay strategy, but not one without the other at those prices.

    Marc Stein:

    LeBron leaning towards a side?

    More people think he really is leaning Cleveland. Nobody knows for sure but majority says Cleveland.

    Motivation to leave?

    One place he can go - that's Cleveland. It's home. Basketball situations, Cleveland has a better situation.

    'Melo to the Knicks?

    Yes. Word is the Knicks expect to hear, if not by today, tomorrow.

    LeBron story breaks when?

    I'm in the camp that says between now and Saturday. Some say don't be surprised if this drags out. This gotta end by Saturday but it's gone so off script, we can't rule out anything.

    So if Bosh doesnt come and we let Parsons go..... how much capspace do we have to spend? Can we trade Asik and Lin for Anderson? Or do we keep Asik and just sign Ariza and maybe one more piece? Trade Lin for a few pics? We then keep our young prospects.

    This, all off of this ^^^^. I was just going to post something similar. Morey needs to tell Bosh either you want the money or you don't, its that simple. All these games that LeBron and Bosh are playing are starting to annoy me. Why do you need to wait on LeBron to announce a dang decision? You knew he was going Cleveland weeks ago. Either you want to play in Houston or you don't. Man up Bosh.

    The guy most under the gun here is Chris Bosh. Not Morey. But Bosh. Bosh has the most to lose.
