    What about the teams that find "the Chandler Parsons", then renounce them with a season remaining on a contract that's about $1M, and lose out on an entire season of cheap talent? What happens to those teams?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think he acquired both guys as future trade bait.

    Not that that really worked out. Morey does have a bit of "trying to be too clever" to him.

    No, Lin was supposed to be the PGOTF. He let Dragic walk so he could sign Lin.

    How genius was THAT? :lol:

    Funny for Morey to say that about Parsons given that reports were his was ready to pay Parsons the max if they signed Bosh.

    It's funny, because right now Houston could be running with a lineup of Dragic/Harden/Parsons/Jones/Howard and I'm sure they could have dealt Asik for something better than what will surely be a shitty pick from New Orleans next year. Supposedly Jeff Green and Bass were on the table.

    I know every team can play the "what if" game, but speaking of Green/Harden......Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Green and Ibaka (Plus several other bigs that are just as good as Perkins) That would be a decent starting lineup if they would have just held on to them all.

    The cool thing about the OKC what if, is they aren't a better team after their shitty decisions. They have been regressing. Houston could be regressing as well, since they may not get a marquee free agent, or the one they get is a bust in chemistry and fucks up their entire team. <--- Cap Hell and All.

    Don't know if this has been said in any other threads but I thought I'd bump it for this one :lol:

    The rockets talk about how they need to wait until they can add a third star, but that's very short sided. Dwight is nearing the age of 30 and he is a player that relies exclusively on his athleticism. Dwight may lose 5% of his effectiveness every year going forward. The rockets losing out on certain contributors to try and risk a small chance of grabbing a star is wasting those prime years Dwight has left.

    Houston won't be as good as they may have been with Melo or Bosh, but they're still going to be a damn good team. I don't think they're going to miss Parsons much.

    Houston really should have went after Bledsoe this summer when they had cap space to make a competitive offer. They could have made a similar offer structure to him that Parsons got from the Mavs and then scared off the Suns.

    As it is now, they are an older, slower, and less versatile version of the team that got beat in the first round.

    It isn't just Parsons. It's also Lin and Asik. They have no bench.
