Sorry sook, you're good people.

:lmao @ your team tho

Dey better have a backup plan, otherwise why the fuck would they ship Rin and a first for nothing if Bosh wasn't committed?

[IrisHockey]

:lol the night might end up with Melo going to the Rockets

[spurraider21]

i like sook, tbh, but i like keeping Houston where they are

[lil_penny]

I thought bosh was a sure thing. Wonder if they will match parsons now

[DJR210]

Sad day for Houston sports.. well you still have another shot at a Texans number 1 pick to look forward to.

[Splits]

Gasol must be on their radar now. They've got cap space to overpay him and there aren't many other options.

[Ditty]

:lmao

[024]

Is it too late to cancel the Laker deal? If so, Rockets just gave away a first pick for nothing :lol

[Mayhem321]

Rockets PG rotation right now consists of Patrick Berveley and Isaiah canaan.
Is that for real? :lol

[sook]

people wonder why I take a dump on Morey? He is an arrogant asshole that overplays his hand.

Doesn't think Parsons is worth the money, so confident that he tells Parsons he'll let the market decide. Now we may lose him for nothing.

Maybe if he hadn't put all his chips in the hands of a scenario dependent on too many people's decisions and variables, we wouldn't actually be worse than last year.

And Milk Hair, your "Yes-Man?" Enjoy playing puppeteer while our team rots at the hands of this incompetent buffoon you retarded stat geek.

[sook]

They deserve to stay where they are if management is going to be this fucking stupid. The next time I actually see someone say that retarded phrase, "In morey we trust," I will stick a finger down my throat after ingesting a lipid heavy meal and make sure they see every bit of it on their faces.

dj0hn might need to stay logged into his MJ account to avoid the humiliation tbh

Yea sorry Sook. But this is excellent for the Spurs

:lol I warned djohn yesterday that Morey is an overrated hack and he wrote it off as me "whining about everything".... now he's conveniently not around for me to nail him to the tree of woe....

[hsxvvd]

Do they match the Parsons offer now?

[sook]

The Third Man

where you at faggot?

[djohn2oo8]

Bosh gave a verbal committment and backed out. That's why they traded Lin.

[djohn2oo8]

Also, this is why you treat players like assets, they leverage teams most of the time and apparently have plenty of power.

Wow!!!! Totally floored all of us in the situation room, Morey as well. Had an agreement and backed out at the last minute after we had made the necessary moves. Cold blooded. Troll.....no more information for you.

It was made by this poster over at CF who does have legitimate connections. He called it correctly last night that LeBron would make his decision before 4pm today, so I believe him.

[Clipper Nation]

So your "proof" is a ClutchFans poster? Yeah, okay :lol

[djohn2oo8]

There is one who goes by cyberx, whose information is picked up nationally days after he posts. So yeah I do.

[resistanze]

:lol had Melo wearing Lin's jersey
:lol its just business indeed

Yeah, even if it's true that Bosh went back on a verbal agreement, it's just karma for how quick Morey is to throw his own players under the bus....

Again, if you treat players like trash, they will treat you like trash in return.... the Clippers were futile for decades because Sterling didn't understand that....

[djohn2oo8]

So that's how it work in the real world? If your boss treats you like shit, you quit?

Did you see how Gasol and Howard played together? It's not happening

It sucks that this happened. The only upside is having the MLE and BAE and being able to fill out the bench.

But, in combination with their big three would have had to be reckoned with at a different level. Bosh would have provided a 4 square view to the offense. I was excited to see it in practice.

Don't say that. There is no upside. You got shit on. Don't deflect it.

Yes having a good bench is more important than Bosh. He was the weakest of the big 3 imo.

[djohn2oo8]

The bench was our weakest link, even with Jones starting.

[JMarkJohns]

Still have Nick Johnson, tho, tbh, qft...

If I were Morey, I'd try to sign Gasol. I"m sure the Rockets can do better than the Lakers offer of $20/2 yr contract.

You don't want him, Ind. He's not for you. You'd live to regret it. He's an enabler and you've already got that in Howard. Don't knee jerk. Close ranks and pull back. You're in a state of shock. Now is not the time to act. It's a time to reflect.

What'd you want him to do, hold his hand all the way in? He obviously had a verbal contract and Bosh reneged. Nobody saw it coming. Not one person.

Cute Cul. I'm surprised your cutting him slack. I'm sure he had a "verbal" confirmation with Parsons too. He overplays his hand and straight up told Parsons he didn't think he was worth what he said he was, then after being so confident that no team would pay more, he decides to let the market decide by making him a RFA. Its a pattern not just a coincidence. For the record, I don't entirely blame him for Bosh, although he's stupid for thinking Melo/Bosh would come here from past events (I posted this over a week ago). The dude spends his time trying to get into bed with every big name when there are two franchise players. Build a solid supporting cast for fucks sake. Sign a stretch 4. The Clippers just signed this guy named Spencer Hawes, who would have fit great here. The unforgivable sin though? Dude is on a power high by keeping his puppet Mchale. There is NO...absolutely NO reason Mchale should be coaching this team. He's just a yes man that will do whatever Morey says, DJ will even agree with me on that.

McHale is not your problem. You haven't enough floor talent. You would have had Bosh kept his word and you matched Parsons. Not enough to ring, but, enough to get started in a serious bent.

You can change coaches till the cows come home. Until you fix the roster it will be in futility.

No, I'm not in that camp, but, you're barking up the wrong tree blaming McHale. Your talent is much, much too thin to compete on a playoff level.

[Indazone]

Coaching matters, I'd much rather have rookie coach Brad Stevens. That said, I would not be surprised if the Rockets failed to land any marquis talent in free agency and got left holding the bag.

Now to add insult to injury:

LAS VEGAS -- The Houston Rockets and their 2014 NBA first round draft pick Clint Capela are in a contract dispute following the team’s failed attempt to lure Chris Bosh from Miami, league sources informed CSNNW.com.

According to one source, for cap space, the Rockets requested that Capela spend another season in France, believing they would land Bosh in free agency. Capela’s representatives were strongly against that idea and that still stands. Friction amongst the two sides is ongoing, sources say.

There’s a $500,000 buyout to free the 6-11 forward from his French team. The Rockets and Capela’s representatives are also wrangling on who and how much each party should pay towards the buyout. Negotiations are currently at a minor impasse but sides are expected to reconvene talks in the next couple of days, we’re told.

Capela, 20, was selected with the team’s 25th overall pick.

are you talking stars or supporting cast?

Why all the noise about Parsons?
Better off without him, open up some huge cap space.

[sook]

If its a supporting cast you're talking about in regards to talent "too thin", you can pin that on Morey---like I was saying. He's had the likes of Bosh and Melo so far up his ass that he doesn't value role players.

But, you need some prime talent to go along with Howard and Harden and Parsons. Bosh woulda a fit in there nicely and spread the entire floor out past 23 feet. He would have enriched the entire crew enabling them to reach a higher place.

[scanry]

If I were Morey, I'd try to sign Gasol. I"m sure the Rockets can do better than the Lakers offer of $20/2 yr contract.

The Lakers offered $10/2 yrs.

[Indazone]

If we developed players like the Spurs, then you'd just wait on year on Parson's and sign him to a MLE contract. Develop Daniels and not swing for the frigging fences every year. That's how we ended up with this Cleveland Steamer!

That's a pretty sweet deal so Chicago it is. Could have been a perfect replacement for Tim next year.

[djohn2oo8]

I'll say this one last time and that's it to those rocket "fans" who keep saying Morey deserved this. When you have a chance at potentially acquiring a third all star, you HAVE to take the chance, even if you miss you have to give it a chance. Sometimes you swing and miss. Swinging for the fences has gotten them Harden and Howard for basically McGrady's corpse. You are fooling yourselves if you think they can win with Terrance Jones starting as PF, or Beverley starting as PG. They damn sure aren't winning with Cassipi, Garcia, and whatever else trash they had on the bench. Asik did not want to be here period, not Morey's fault. Offseason isn't over yet, if they don't make any improvements, then you can say whatever.
