    Does Dallas need a backup PG?

    Buyout? That's absurd.

    You underestimate the levels to which Philadelphia will go to suck.

    What if Lin goes to Dallas too after getting bought out by Philly. He is better than Felton and Harris.

    With what cap space? We lose the MLE as soon as we sign Bosh since we're signing him with cap space instead of a S&T. Bosh + Harden + Dwight ($55M) alone nearly put us over the salary cap. Add our role players and we have no space or exceptions to use.

    And that's before we're talking about signing Parsons.

    If Philly buys out Lin, he simply goes to any number of teams, gets a new contract and continues on his way.

    No please. Both sides need a divorce after this. Just go separate ways.

    If Rockets sign a player, it may not be Chris Bosh.

    Amazing stuff, Twitter.

    I hope when Durant becomes a free agent none of this happens.

    Sixers asking price is too high even for such a terrible contract as Lin's.

    Yeah, I don't care about his fragile ego. Unless it leads to Bosh no way we give up a first to move him. He'll be expiring at the deadline. He can cry on the bench if he wants but no reason to appease him just because his feelings got hurt.
