    Sure but we gotta use our cap before we just go over. This team still has a good amount of needs.

    match parsons, if we can't sign a big name, we make it one of own.

    parsons is 25, he is only getting better, he is the glue guy, and we are building the chemistry now. Fill the bench we are just one coach away from contender.

    We turn on Netflix and try not to isolate family and friends for the next 24 hours.

    From now until tomorrow, find ways to screw the Mavs. That's all.

    Wait, I thought we used the capspace freed up by Lin to sign Ariza. We renounced the exceptions to free up capspace. I don't think a TPE can technically be used to sign players out right.

    Well based on Morey's history, he likes to only make moves when I am at work. So, look for a big deal tomorrow between the hours of 11 and 7:45 :rolleyes:

    I know Andrea Bargnani has a bad rep and is soft as hell.... Also plays no defense... But his offensive skills would fit perfectly with the Rockets....he can easily be a stretch 4... Also an expiring contact.

    Like the idea buying low on the guy, and we preserve our cap space in the form of an expiring contract.

    this. emeka's also coming back home. he went to bellaire high school.
    if we get bargnani or a vet PF then..

    Bev/Johnson
    Harden/Daniels
    Parsons/Ariza
    VET PF or Bargs/Jones
    Howard/Okafor

    That'd be an extremely solid roster. Need also maybe a vet PG as insurance a la Brooks or Hinrich.

    Bargs is pretty terrible on defense tho and does some dumb stuff on the court.

    try to convince Was/NOP to work a 3-way thus keep our MLE and TPE. match Parsons; use the TPE on Brandon Bass or a sign-n-traded Humphries; pick-up Brand for Vet. Min. and MLE to sign Nelson+Daniels.

    Howard, Brand, DMo, Capela
    Humphries, Jones, Covington
    Parsons, Ariza, Casspi
    Harden, Daniels, Johnson
    Beverley, Nelson, Canaan

    i think we can win 55~59 with this line-up

    since we signed ariza, we had to go under the cap, meaning we don't have our MLE, BAE or TPE. so if we match parsons, our summer is done. except for signing daniels, and maybe some vet min guys. i'd rather go for more free agents if possible.

    -trade asik to pelicans tomorrow morning creating another $8M in cap space (about).
    -make offers to a pool or centers for half our cap space, and a pool of pgs for the other half, and see who commits in time. pool of centers include (birdman, JO, okafor), pool of pgs include (hinrich, nelson, mo williams)

    -if none commit, last ditch resort would be to overpay on a 2 year deal with the second year partially guaranteed, again splitting our cap ($4M a piece) between a pool of lesser centers/pfs (jason smith, blatche, humphries, ed davis, gooden, trevor booker) and pgs/sgs (stuckey, sessions, bayless, augustine, brooks, ridnaur)

    -hard to imagine none of those take the overpayment for 2 years, but if we cant get it done in time, i'd offer vet min deals to (steimsma, kenyon martin, nazr mohamad, billups, byron mullins)
