    Chalk this up to short-week euphoria (don't kill me for this):

    Would it be possible to S&T Parsons to get Love, and still sign Melo as a FA? To end up with Bev / Beard / Melo / Love / Howard?

    Man I hope so. I am going to be out of country for my wedding anniversary and I already know I am going to be in the dog house half the time because I am on my phone non stop waiting on news.

    No. Rockets is not a content with Melo. Melo is an inefficient one-way player that does not make his teammates better, and costs $20M.

    Kawhi Leonard > Melo

    This offseason? Highly unlikely unless Melo's number is much lower than his max. But if the Rockets work out a straight re-sign(instead of matching an offer), Parsons can be traded at his full salary by December for Love. If he signs an offer elsewhere and the Rockets match, then Parsons has no-trade clause for an entire year.

    Still, Howard has said Parsons isn't going anywhere. So I doubt this happen regardless.

    Great.... I'm about to drive out into the boonies with no reception or internet. You guys can thank me later when the Woj bombs drop. Its a given that the Rockets make an acquisition or move every time I'm out of service for an extended period of time. Your welcome.

    Man seriously.

    Forget the FA signings, they will still be wherever they end up if you dont find out about it on the day and minute it happens. Women take anniversaries seriously and you certainly dont want to spend your vacation with a pissed off wife.

    Remember, happy wife means happy life.

    Read this in an ESPN chat that's going on right now. I only posted since it's the first and only mention I've seen of Chicago not being optimistic about signing CA.
