Mavs sign Chandler Parsons to 3-year, $46M offer sheet

It is, but Parsons plus using the cap space afforded by the lin and asik deals is just as good as deng and using the rest of your cap space. By keeping Parsons, you keep Dwight Howard happy.

 

letting parsons walk is a huge mistake. HUGE.

 

That's as vague as a tweet can get

 

ariza is just going to tell yes and then walk away and bosh you. match parsons dammit.

 

I agree. Paying Trevor Ariza 10 million is not better than having Parsons at 15 million. Plus, Parsons is really tight with Dwight, so you tick off one of your superstars.

 

i meant from the standpoint that you'd be losing your ability to work over the cap. but yeah that too.

letting parsons walk, signing ariza leaves us with little cap room left, and we'd waive our MLE and BAE to do so.

 

Possibly, we are looking at SFs because we want to S&T Parsons to the Mavs.
The Mavs would rescind their offer, we would sign Parsons to his max deal, then trade him to the Mavs. Thus, we get something back for him, Dallas lowers their payroll number. Same as we might have done with Miami after signing Bosh.

 

It doesn't sound so bad when put like that. I still think the Rockets will get another solid rotation player. Certainly not a Carmelo or Bosh, but they'll make a slight improvement over last season.

 

if i'm not mistaken, a sign and trade is no longer possible.

 

Could Ariza be signed and traded into our larger TE?

 

All this Ariza talk to me is just Morey toying with Dallas. Earlier we saw rumors Rockets not sure whether they will match Parsons (60/40), then show interest in Ariza, make Dallas feel confident they have landed their "star", Match at 11:59. IMO

 

So if we sign a player and then match parsons, putting us well per the cap, we would lose the ability to use the MLE right?

Would we still be able to use the trade exception at that point?

 

Mavs lose Carter waiting on Parsons resolution (link).

Would be great if the Mavs miss out on Carter, Marion, Deng, and Ariza while waiting for the Rox to decide on Parsons.

Rox out on Deng:

Rather have Paul Pierce at 10 million a year than Deng at 12-13, Ariza at 10 or Parsons at 15.

 

Offer Pierce 2yr /20 and sign Parsons? Then add birdman and a wing defender.

 

For $15/yr? He can walk.

 

we can really screw the mavs over if we match Parsons...Just make sure Deng and Ariza are both off the market first.

 

Deng would be a better option over Trevor because Deng can handle the ball and play point forward and initiate the offense like Parsons would do often for the Rockets. And Deng is a good scorer and he'll have the benefit of being on the floor with players like Harden and Howard which is something he didn't have in Chicago. The offense would often be stagnant without Parsons and I don't believe Trevor will feel that void like Deng would.

But of course Deng is asking for too much. He may not would have came anyway. Pat Riley may be ringing his phone.

I bet they only offered Parsons around $10 million too on their hush hush deal.
