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

The hard cap only comes in to play if you make certain transactions. If you use the full MLE or do a sign and trade you are committing to be under the hard cap.

 

I thought the plan was for him to delay signing to give us more time.....so what happened? Did Cuban basically say this offer is good only if you sign asap? Or did the talks between the ROX and Parsons hit an obstacle? Parsons seems like a nice guy who wouldn't just deliberately try to screw us over. One of those two things must have occured?

 

Not sure everyone knows what a favor is. Morey made him an RFA so Morey could lock him in at the price Morey wanted and because it furthered his agenda, not to do any favors for Parsons. Surely people can see that. A favor is going out of your way to do something that you wouldn't normally do, which is not what happened here. Pretty simple.

 

People are confusing some points, though they are nuanced ones. There is no hard cap in the nba. It is a soft cap. However, there are certain things that can happen to trigger the hard cap. Of merit for us is, if you do a Sign and Trade for a player, you are hard capped that season at the apron. The apron is $4M+ the luxury tax threshold, which is reported to be $77M for this upcoming season, hence the projection of an $81M hardcap.

The hardcap will only apply if we SnT for Bosh rather than sign him outright with free capspace.

 

I have seen enough of SHARK TANK to know that Cuban put a time fame on it
Sign by 1am or the deal is off type of thing

Rocket River

 

Maybe Morey wanted Parsons to sign the contract. It forces Bosh who is waiting for LeBron to understand that he's potentially going to miss out on a max contract AND LeBron could end up in Cleveland so it's a lose, lose for Bosh if he doesn't make up his mind soon and the Rockets are forced to match, take his max off the table.

 

I think that we are all forgetting the injuries that parsons was having earlier in the year. THey couldnt even pinpoint what they were? That huge dunk in the playoffs, he was walking gingerly after that.

That phantom back issue is concerning. If the dude starts doing the grandpa walk like mike miller did, and he's in his mid-20s...thats a red flag.

I would just feel more comfortable knowning what the injury was and that it is treatable, other than saying we dont know what it is and just letting it "heal".

 

Damn I was not up to Date with all this,So we lose Parsons,Asik and Lin and miss out on Melo,Lebron and Bosh.

Morey ****ed up badly

 

Even though it's an extremely high contract - I would still match the offer due to the fact we will be over the cap (if we sign Bosh) and unable to bring in a comparable player to Chandler.

 

If Bosh continues to waffle, I'm certain he matches on Parsons. No way is Morey going to risk coming away with neither one.

 

?? Comparable player?

Chandler at $800K is hard to replace. Chandler at $15 million is easily replaceable.

 

I think most are upset that chandler didn't wait until we got our star to sign that offer sheet. there was supposedly an agreement, guess not lol

 

Don't get the hate.

The dude would have played for the LA Sparks next season if they offered him 15M/yr

 

If in two days Bosh hasn't decided can we offer up Chandler and/or Jones + NO pick/HOU pick for Love?

 

He'd have been the prettiest one.

 

This is the pic Morey will send Cuban after he signs Bosh and matches Parson:

 

if we sign Bosh, it really doesn't matter what we pay Parsons. We are over the cap, regardless. And if the owner is willing to pay the tax, so be it. Not sure why fans care so much about the money part when its not our money and we'd be over the cap anyway if we get Bosh.

 

I think Cuban sold Parsons on the idea of Dallas, loyalty, money, marketing, glitz, all of it. Full-on hard sell. Then he put a deadline on the offer.

 

No. simple no.

Read a bit more on this forum, you would know at this point, after Parsons signed that offer sheet, we either decline, or match. No trading options anymore, not till 1 year later if we match.

 

Right but that's on the contingency that we get Bosh. If we don't then why should we handcuff a good part of the salary cap to Parsons?

Getting Bosh isn't a signed sealed and delivered thing right now. My frame of thinking centers around two facts:

1. Parsons signed the offer sheet.
2. Bosh hasn't made up his mind yet.
