    Can't you go over the cap w/ no penalty to resign Parsons since he's our guy? As long as he's the last one to sign, right?

    It's pretty low to be mocking fellow Rockets fans like that. We can't all be GQ models.

    Plus why would any GMs help Rockets to build a super team? Doesn't everyone hate that?

    Young teams tanking and collecting picks and assets don't care about Super teams.

    Morey once helped NY get cap space to sign two max players

    Just so I understand the order of things.....

    1) Clear Asik's and other salary
    2) Sign Lowry
    3) SnT Melo for Lin and other salary/pieces

    When given a choice between losing a valuable player for nothing or getting someone of value, GMs will do what it takes to get something of value in return if they know they are losing their free agents.

    Whether it helps a team in the other conference isnt really that big of a concern

    That seems reasonable? 18 for Melo, 12 for Lowry, 8 for Parsons?

    What is a food basket?

    Is that like a fruit basket?

    Or did the Rockets Get Melo some Chicken Tenders and Fries?

    Seems like it says they saw Carmelo walk into the offices followed by a food basket. I dont think it means anything, it's just bringing in some snacks for them to munch on while in the meeting.

    Guys, really, not everything is a sign...when looking for explanations sometimes the most logical one is likely the right one.
