    Source: Forget Kyle Lowry to Houston. Rockets wanted sign & trade but Toronto won't deal bc they want to keep Lowry

    With @BaxterHolmes reporting Celtics have reached out to Gordon Hayward, interest is mutual. Brad Stevens was the RFA's coach at Butler.

    Heat telling free agents they will have $12+ million to spend, indicating Wade & Bosh ready to take huge pay cuts, sources told ESPN

    Good. Fuck them. I hate Houston. I hope they traded Asik for nothing.

    I smile every time a FA or team rebuffs Houston and the Heat

    The Heat have targeted Kyle Lowry and are seeking a meeting with him today. Also could target Marcin Gortat.

    I've heard flip-flopped #s for Bosh and Wade -- $12M for CB, $10M for DW -- but regardless, those are kind of #s MIA needs to get real space

    If true, hats off to Wade. He took less money at his peak to bring Lebron and Bosh over and is now opting out of a lot of money to take less so Heat can be more competitive so they can keep Lebron (who is demanding the max).

    Hope Miami fans appreciate how devoted Wade is to the Heat franchise.

    If those salaries end up real, Bosh will have sacrificed to a pretty shocking degree. Had real market at $16M/$17M, opted out of $20M X 2

    Morey is clueless. He thinks real life basketball is like fantasy basketball. Oh we can't get bron? Ok let's get melo. No melo? Ok let's get Lowry. No real plan.

    He suffers from the same affliction as Bob Whitsitt. They don't value chemistry. They only value talent on paper.

    After Toronto/Houston visits, Lowry huddling w/ agent Andy Miller. Heat, Lakers want meetings. Holding pattern, mulling Raps/Rockets offers.

    If there's issue w Heat, it's Wade still getting superstar $$. One prominent agent says client won't go there "to get less shots than Wade."
