What the fools really regret is letting him out of the team option at 900k. That was an absolutely horrendous move from jump. I don't care how they try to justify it. Even more horrendous with this result.

Exactly

On that bullshit trying to get a star and shit even then you can trade Parsons and that 900k of need be!!

I haven't seen fuckery like that since the Cavs let Boozer out of basically the same deal as a 2nd rounder and he bailed on them to Utah

 

[Llano]

Parsons ain't gotta worry about no Brewer here. No fucking way that no jump shooting muthafucka would go off for 50 on us. No fucking way. I didn't see the game but I still don't believe he did that. I can't even do that shit in NBA 2k with him.

That shit was unreal. Brewer got like 25 points just snow birding and leaking out on the fast break. At that point its not on Harden alone it's the whole perimeter players to stop him on the break. Them niggas looked confused on their defensive assigments as they did when Lillard hit that game winner in the playoffs.

How was signing Chris Bosh a "pipe dream" when he verbally said IF LEBRON LEAVES MIAMI I'M GOING TO HOUSTON?

He had a change of heart (and bank account too) indeed. But pipe dream is insinuating that Houston never had a chance at signing him and that's just not true.

Knowing his game I just imagined that cat getting 50 points worth of free throws, tip-ins and fastbreak.

I need to see highlights of that shit. To this day thats hit is like Big Foot. Never seen it and refuse to believe it.

Andre Miller no jumpshooting or hell jumping ass went off on us similar one time.

Its 2 ass whoopings i'll never forget. Kobe's big game against us I can even live with. But we let Andre Miller and a broken kneed Brandon Roy just go the fuck off on us. I have sports nightmares about them games to this day.

 

[spider705]

I did answer u bum ass niggas and I told you like 4 times I never fucked with the cavs and never will now how bout u hop off my nuts wit that bullshit

U in withdrawal?

Ur really testy..... I understand..... Ur mad..... King went home...... It'll be okay..... Y'all got Deng..... He'll do everything LeBron did, right?

He put that out as an official release?

 

[spider705]

I'm telling u now, Nick Johnson will be significantly better than Lin was and will eventually push Beverly for the starting guard position next to harden.

Jeremy Lin will not be missed in Houston. Period.

Yea that's really where you at. If you have a contributor like Parsons, you take that 900k and worry about the rest later. NEVER play that game they tried to play. Morey fucked around and outsmarted himself.

When you can have a 17 point a game scorer for 900k? That's a asset. Trade the fuck if you want. But you gotta re-up that shit.

Morey got cute

That's all it was end of story

You are 100% correct.

And if the Mavs wanted to sign him for 46 mill next year, they could have him then too

They could have kept him one more year, but at that price, they wouldn't have him after then. Rockets had a bad offseason. Oh well, not the first team to have one and won't be the last. The even more terrible thing would be to double down and make it worse.

He had no change of heart.

It was a pipedream. Heat could offer him the most money.

Just like Melo and the Knicks. Everyone is not Lebron. Guys not leaving that 5th year on the table.

Its stupid to do so. Bron the only guy who can take that risk because he makes 50 million a year outside of basketball.

When you can leave 30 million and a extra year out there? They not gonna do it. Its a pipe dream. Risk financial security for a year? To play in Houston?

And we know Bosh friendly flaming ass wasn't coming back to Texas. He wouldn't even come back to Dallas....Houston is even more inconvenient for family and friends.

Think about it. How many of these actual all stars are leaving their teams to take less money aside from what Bosh, Wade and Bron did together? None of them.

I'm not mad at you guys. You took the risk. Atleast you didn't give up Harden and Dwight in taking that risk. But it was definitely a pipe dream. You live and you learn. Should've learned from Mark Cuban though. Y'all didn't even have to go through this heartbreak.

Dwight Howard did it so the Rockets stayed at the blackjack table too long thinking Bosh would as well

Bron can take that risk because even if he has a catastrophic injury someone will take a chance. He's the type of player who's so good he'd reinvent his game.

Yep.

 

[spider705]

That's all it was end of story

Morey wanted to keep his core together plus add a 3rd star, so he gambled.

This was the year. He knew he could sign a big name free agent AND retain Parsons by going over the cap to keep him. We had everything in place to acquire Bosh, retain Parsons and had the league on notice.

What wasn't expected was Miami offering the full max to Bosh.

You know what's more depressing about that game? Kevin Love didn't even play so its not like he was there as the defensive focus

It was that game that I realized we ain't winning shit with McHale

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

...... It'll be okay..... Y'all got Deng..... He'll do everything LeBron did, right?

Deng is my guy, but NIGGA PLEASE!!!
Them niggas got set back 5-10 years with the LBJ move.
By the time they taste the finals again...Wade wil be retired..maybe Bosh as well.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Okay you're right. I thought Lakers didn't have his bird rights or some shit. Add Dwight to that list too. The list is still relatively short for me to be assuming dudes gonna leave that 1 year on the table. Dwight took a major risk doing that.

Bron can take that risk because even if he has a catastrophic injury someone will take a chance. He's the type of player who's so good he'd reinvent his game.

Right. Bron is the only one that risk makes sense for. Possibly KD as well but even then you'd scratch your head.

@ Bron name dropping Anderson Varajeo for the Brazil love.

 

[Llano]

Rockets trade away Omri Caspi in a 3 way trade for Alonzo Gee from Pelicans. Rockets get rid of another player who couldn't play defense worth a lick. Gee is young and could have some upside so I ain't mad about this trade.

Yeah Dwight left his bird rights in LA but he just wanted to get out of there

D'Antoni + Kobe + high expectations = too much for him

And honestly I don't blame him

Wish we could've got him

Yeah because Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger is what REALLY kept bosh in Miami :hmn:

It was the extra year. Nothing more nothing less.

We had to gamble. Morey plan was to always keep his core guys (Parsons Howard harden) together n build around them. He knew that if he picked up the option n added another superstar this year they wouldn't be able to afford Parsons next year.

So he gambled.

You decline the option, hopefully sign that big name, then go over the cap to keep that 3rd core member. That way u have 4 key guys under contract for extended time and keep that championship window open longer. All in all it was the right move for what he had planned, it just didn't work out.

Nice work Pat.

Birdman birdman

Looks like the team shaping up they resigned Chalmers too... Ninja a bone head id rather someone else

 

[AwwDamn]

Thought:

Could all of these heat role players, Birdman, Haslem, Cole, Chalmers, etc. play the way they played because of LeBron's presence?

I remember the Randy Browns, BJ Armstrongs, Paxons, Weddingtons, Longleys, etc. all being productive, but once Air bounced, you hardly heard a damn thing from any of them on the court...

Hopefully that's not the case, but you never know

Birdman played the same way in Denver as he played in Miami. Haslem is was more effective before Lebron (got more shot attempts) People forget he had a great mid range jumper

Cole's production should go up as he now will get more attempts.I agree about Cole. Def a wait and see

Mario is going to play the same unfortunately.
