Is Monta Ellis staying with the Mavs as well? A Nowitzki, Ellis, Parsons lineup is pretty good offensively. Still not worried, just shows how the Western Conference teams do much better work than the teams in the East.
3 years 46 mil is crazy.
Parsons is not even an All Star.

Apparently, Morey sent a text to Cuban after they beat out Dallas for Howard. Probably not a smart move in hindsight...
Neither are any of the Spurs besides TP. What's your point?
He's saying Parsons is breaking the bank..? Parker I think is making $12.5M and is an All-Star. None of the Spurs aren't all-stars yet none of em make more than Parsons will. Unless of course you were being sarcastic...
i think i will always have that image of chandlers desperately chasing lillard on that inbounds play that cost the rockets that series. parsons is a poor defender but he will certainly fit into carlisle's "flow" offensive scheme and make the mavs even more potent on offense. but...if bosh goes back to miami, parsons stays a rocket.
If LeBron doesn't make a decision before Sunday...and the Parsons match period is up as of midnight Saturday...what'll Houston do? Match and forget about Bosh? Let Parsons go and hope Bosh comes? Guess the worst case here is that they lose both Parsons and Bosh...interesting how all these things are piling up
Cuban just shafted the Rockets. He knows that extra 3mil a year of over payment for Parson will push the Rockets over the Tax line and will have huge ramifications on how the Rockets can improve their roster in many a years.
Parsons is easily worth 10-12 mil on the market when factoring his stats. But at 15 mil+, he is being overpaid and Cuban knows this. Its a win win for the Mavs either way. They keep him and give Dirk a couple of shots at another le or the Rockets resign him and are in cap for 4-5 years.
You're not winning the West with Bosh, Howard, Parson, and Harden and a bunch of mins filling out your roster. Spurs bench would have these guys for lunch by the 3rd quarter in the playoffs.
Yup. Power moves by power owners. Cuban gets a lot of heat but he definitely wants a winner in Dallas and they're lucky to have him.
Need to rewatch tape, the responsibility for lillard fell on harden when parsons got picked. Harden stood there instead of stepping up.
i have and harden is his typical lackluster self but parsons doesn't help at all. the inbound pass is made and parson hesitates before he even makes the attempt to stop the pass to lillard. of course, he has no shot of catching him and game over. in fact, the whole tape is a lesson in how not to defend a last second shot and a testament to the terrible coaching of kevin mchale. perhaps mchale still thinks he is the rockets' best option on defending the inbound pass by crowding the passer.
Offer sheet hasn't been signed yet, so the clock is not running as of now.
apparently, according to donnie boy, the mavs and rockets are discussing possible sign and trade.
It was signed, just not submitted yet.
Per Woj, it was just submitted.
Now Bosh has 72 hours to decide the fate of the Heat/Rockets.
Kudos to Mark Cuban for placing the Rockets and Heat in a big squeeze.
With lbj supposedly to announce today, it should make this dilemma along with the rest of the nba free agency flood gate to open.
With the cap rising every year, somehow $15M doesn't seem too much for someone who can end up your 3rd best player, given Dallas' best player just took a haircut. Love the fact Dallas and Houston have been trying for years to build rosters with truckloads of talent and have yet to come close to the amount of success the Spurs have garnered in the past decade.
Of course, the part where they screw each other over has been enjoyable. Would be 10x funnier if the Heatles break up.
Mavs sign Ray Allen. Cuban reviving Allen Parsons Project.
I spent quite a while, like half an hour, talking with Chip back in 2007 and asked about what they do with players with bad form. paraphrasing, his answer was that they work with what the player already does and do the best they can with it rather than trying to "re-build" shot mechanics. He'd probably make Marion into a good shooter, even with his terrible form.
Spot on!
I used to be a Morey fan, but he should have realised that Harden and D12 are a terrible fit, and I wonder if he over-relies on metrics over actually watching basketball. I like that Cuban is shafting him... something I NEVER thought I'd say!
In a way lebron wants this to happen as well, maybe if the rockets had not offered bosh that contract, james might have made up his mind and maybe Dallas would be looking for somebody else..
Looks like Rox are going to match with Bosh staying in Miami
So, Harden is the third highest paid Rocket now if the CP OS is matched. I wonder how that will sit with him. Hopefully not well and he becomes more cancerous than he already is.
That is Old School....:
