    LeBron is not happening.

    Anthony is a long shot.

    Bosh is very likely to resign with Miami.

    Wade will be back in Miami.

    That leaves Kevin Love and Rajon Rondo among known players.

    Chicago will not be in a position to get Love after signing Mrotic. However, Minnesota seems to prefer to deal him to GS... or Minnesota may hold onto him until the trade deadline.

    Boston is not going to give away Rondo, as they would know they are in a position of power in a deal with Houston.

    The Rockets have Dallas and 3-4 other teams breathing down their back to get Parsons to sign an offer sheet.

    Pau Gasol didn't work with Howard... that leaves Luol Deng as a fall back possibly....

    Morey is REALLY under the gun.

    I guarantee you that the Knicks top target is Durant.

    Picture hurts me too but to say that D-Wade has a zero percent chance to leave Miami is like saying the same thing about Dream and Jordan. Farfetched and uncomfortable but in reality this is all a business where players want to get paid and players want to be respected by the organization and fan base they play for.

    Durant is not going to NY to play Melo, that is almost sure.

    I am not upset..... I am good.

    Just pointing out that Morey has a REALLY hard job right now.... and IF the Rockets do not get a big free agent, it isn't Morey's fault... it is just a very fluid situation right now and there are only so many desirable players available.

    Deng also can't shoot and wouldn't be a sustainable permanent starting PF.

    Though we could sign Deng and make Parsons available in a S&T for either Love or Rondo.

    Deng isn't a great shooter but he is a very smart and good defender. Deng has played some PF in Chicago... I would think he would be part of a forward rotation with Parsons and Jones... it would not be ideal

    Lakers are also engaged with other free agents. Knicks have no cap space or assets.
