You can always make it a 3 team or 4 team deal (Asik to Hornets, Lin to LA, Bosh to HOU, picks + whatever to MIA)
Is that finalized?

MIA might make a massive offer to Bosh to keep him so that is something to watch. But again, if Bosh decides to take what is left after just moving Asik/Lin that would be so damn big for HOU.
If he takes max, HOU will be gutted outside of top 5. If Bosh takes less, they get to keep a lot of decent players.
Asik to the pelicans isn't finalized yet. Pelicans are considering waiving one of their players through the "stretch provision" (or something) to get it done fast.
Somebody will take Lin off their hands. IMO hopefully LA. Those two fan bases deserve each other.
It's not even close to finalized. A third team is gonna have to be involved to make it happen.
Who the are you? You didn't get up off your ass till 0-2 and you're casting us down? you, and your mother.
Lakers should swoop in like Thread said I would take Asik and Lin but we cant offer picks. Both are on short deals. and can be moved again if need be. But we cant offer picks like NO can ... except Clarkson, maybe.
So that's my point. With it not being finalized (and no commitment from Bosh) things can change. If HOU gets a true commitment from Bosh, MIA may want to do a S&T. They may want Lin/Asik's expiring deals plus picks. That would mean HOU has to renege on Hornets.
If MIA just wants draft picks, then they can make it a 4 team deal where Lin goes to LA, Asik to Hornets, picks to MIA and Bosh to HOU. Lot's of options and S&T is a viable option (until HOU finalizes and sends of paperwork on Lin/Asik deals).
They already have.
Not that I have seen.
If somehow the Lakers could snag Asik, that would be a huge coup. Asik deal to Pelicans is not finalized yet.
Woj reported that Bosh's agents are in line to sign with houston if Lebron leaves , I saw it yesterday.
The new reports from today is there is no formal agreement.
Chris Bosh likely to sign with Rockets after LeBron James chooses Cavaliers

What is taking Bosh so long? I guess MIA possibly coming in with a monster offer is the hold up?
But how was HOU able to trade Lin/Asik when they had to in order to pursue Bosh and come out net the same with regards to picks? Impressive.
Now the question is if Bosh comes to HOU: 1) Is there a S&T with MIA 2) If no S&T, will Bosh take less to keep some key pieces vs gutting the team?
It's not worth it to give up that NO pick, in my opinion. That may turn into a really good player. They already plan to dump Jones and Montejunas, so those would be decent assets going back to Miami, in addition to whatever the Pelicans are dumping.
I agree. If I'm HOU, I'd rather keep the pick. The key is Bosh & MIA. Bosh may want max and they would have to gut their team in order to do that. S&T may be the only option.
But outside of pick, I wouldn't want to do the S&T if I am HOU because you just gave up a pick to LA (assuming MIA doesn't ask for Lin and Asik like in this hypothetical), but most importantly, the apron comes into play for HOU is they S&T.
That means they have 70M with Bosh/Harden/Dwight/Parsons and have to fill out their roster with only 10M.
Hopefully Bosh stays in Miami and Houston matches Parsons. Even then a roster of Bosh/Howard/Harden/Parsons + trash doesn't worry me as a Spurs fan; they were so dangerous this past year due to all the shooting they had around Howard and Harden plus Asik/Lin occasionally.
If I am understanding this tweet, Bosh is a damn saint tbh and Rocket fan should love him.
1) Sounds like Bosh agrees to sign w/ HOU
2) Sounds like he's just taking what money is left from moving Lin/Asik (and maybe waiving some non-guaranteed deals) instead of asking for max.
That allows HOU to keep assets (pick from NO AND players to have a bench). Huge if true.
He probably doesn't want to leave Miami for a gutted team. But it's still needs to be quite a paycut to really make a difference.
Bosh on Houston with their current team intact sans Asik and Lin is definitely worrisome. Thankfully McFail is their coach, otherwise they'd be favorites.
for as smart a GM as morey is, this baffles me. Get top tier troops and send them to war under piss poor leadership.
We need Parsons back.
We need Parsons back
And it would be a nice you to Pubes tbh
