If the Rockets get Bosh and Parsons, they'll be doomed financially for at least 3 years. Zero bench.
The Spurs' Foreign Legion will demolish their bench.
The lines are set by the number of bettors. The hysterical money is calling their bookies now.

It will be Blazers series all over again. Great staring 5, zero bench.
Montejunas is a steal for whoever gets him
Best news, b/c Parson to Mavs would have put them close to OKC level in the compe ion bracket with the Spurs.
Except one thing Morey has been good at is his picking of minimum contract talent. He's been really good at it. Much better than first round picks.
So if Bosh signs with Houston and Houston matches Parsons, then they'll have more than $70 MM (Not sure what Bosh's first year number is, just that it's $88MM over 4 years) tied up on 4 players. So they're going to sign 9 players (at least) with the remaining $5-$7MM or pay the tax?
If Houston gives Bosh the max and keeps Parsons, their top 4 players will make 73M next season. Those 4 plus a bunch of minimum contract players.
Morey. And yet ESPN is pushing for Morey to be named GM of the year soon because he's landed Harden, Howard, and if it happens...Bosh in 3 straight years. Yet they won't talk about all the damn money this guy is throwing around at these overrated s..
Melo is going to choose Chicago
Houston can win the offseason for the third straight season. Meanwhile, they've won one playoff series in 17 years.
As long as Big Kev is there that is where they will stand.
Mel 13 going in raw.
Riding coat tails
Yeah of course he's ing intrigued, the best player in the world just went to Cleveland. Love isnt a big top dog on a team who can win a le, he needs LeBron to win a le..
And so much for Phil's fantasy of bringing LeBron to the Knicks. I doubt PJ makes it even halfway through that 5 year deal before he takes a buyout and heads back to LA.
So should the Spurs try to cash in if Morey firesales the whole roster for Bosh? jones is intriguing, maybe Beverley or Casspi?
Actually Bosh will be their best player. He has been very underrated. Howard is not mentally tough; Harden and Parsons are one-way players and Parsons doesn't deserve even 2/3rds of the money he has been promised if you ask me.
But Bosh will make them a contender. His key is his P&R & help defense in a P&R league. Houston's defense will be far better plus he will spread the floor and hit mid-rangers and occasional three pointers. Interestingly, Houston did not have a mid range shooter last season.
But even if one of Harden, Howard, Bosh is injured for even a bit in the playoffs, they will be toast. (Unless Morey does a Buford and gets some surprise FAs for the minimum).
Las Vegas odds to win the le:
Cavs- 3/1
Spurs- 4/1
Thunder- 4/1
Bulls- 7/1
Rockets- 12/1
Too bad McHale is still the coach
Should of jumped on cavs bandwagon earlier in Vegas lol
That's certainly a big issue, but there's also the 82-game load that the top-4 players will have to carry...can these 4-guys really get through that unscathed and be primed for the playoffs?
Bosh was made accountable for his defense because of Spo' and Lebron, he had to push himself. In Houston he will be allowed to slack off and chill which is what he wants to do while collecting checks.
