People still dont understand after all these posts. If we dont match Parsons (assuming we have signed Bosh up), even at 15 millions per year, you still wont be able to get anyone around 10 millions that equals to Parson's value. Besides, anyone ever thought of the fact that we just dont have any cap room to sign anyone worth 10-12 millions a year after signing Bosh and not have to give up anyone besides Howard and Harden? This is a risky move by our GM but one that would pay big if we win. Which on all indications that we will get Bosh. Matching Parsons not only would we be able to keep the core, but also by overpaying without hitting the cap. Think of this as a loophole.
