    We need ball handlers and play makers. 1 or 2 dudes. Lawson as a starter or I Thomas as a 6th man. Maybe a Jamal Crawford type. Offensive players. That's our gaping hole. We would be so damn good

    Did GSW pay taxes last year? I don't think so. Saying the team has no flexibility after they retained Bev, Brewer and still have some cap left for JSmith and KJ Mcdaniels well yeah they wouldn't have any cap flexibility left after they blew their space on those guys.

    If they kept Parsons then we wouldn't be able to sign Ariza, Kpap, Jet and Dorsey in the offseason last year, and then trade for Brewer and sign JSmith midseason. Are you trying to argue Parsons is equivalent to those players combined? Because that's what happened to due to capspace and flexibility, the Rockets were able to maximize their roster and capspace instead of blowing it all on one dude who isn't worth it (and got injured). Next year the capspace will increase so you can then use that space to fix the "flawed roster" as you call it. Again if we had Parsons on the team not only would he be injured his max contract would put us in a bad position in terms of possible trades midseason. The rockets roster isn't perfect but they would be in FAR WORSE shape if they had kept Parsons, it has virtually nothing to do with what the roster is costing Les Alexander.

    Sounds like some of y'all playing checkers while the rest of us are playing chess.

    We added quality help in season last year, so I don't get the need to blow your wad so quickly.
