    Why don't yall get it? Once we sign Bosh we can't sign anyone of Stephenson, Ariza, Deng caliber. We HAVE to match Parsons because we own his bird rights

    what money would you think we can spend on him? The only way we are able to keep Parsons is bird rights....

    Then we would release 4 players since they're all non guaranteed. This is one great day.

    Can't do that. The Rockets cap space is gone after signing Bosh. They can go over the cap to keep their own free agent(Parsons) but can't sign other teams players.

    ESPN just reported that the Heat still think they have a shot at retaining Bosh. Wishful thinking?

    I would definitely try to hold onto Gee and release someone else. A lot of defensive potential there

    Yeah, throw all our leftover money at Stephenson. That would be 900k and a bag of chips or two. We're going 15 mil over the cap to pay Parsons because we've got his Bird rights. We can't pay that kind of money to anyone else after Bosh signs.

    If we use cap space to sign Bosh we lose the MLE for sure.

    If we do a S&T for Bosh with Miami we can keep the MLE.

    Was about to say. I'm pretty sure Presti will never answer a Morey call again

    They also reported this morning that Lebron was 70%-60% likely to remain with the heat. One guy eve said 99%.

    Dude, after Bosh, we dont even have any money for the Stephenson. o_O For Parsons, we can just go over the cap and match the offer.

    If we didn't have a deadline and Bosh knew it it'd agree but I think Bosh sees how good this team could be and won't pass it up.
