Kevin Love reportedly says he would sign long term if traded to Cleveland.
-
Keeps Lakers above the salary floor, doesn't impact cap past next season, helps fill out the empty roster, and likely gets them a draft pick. Good deal for L.A.
-
A bit more: It's because Parsons is technically still on their books right now (at his cap hold number, not the offer sheet number) and thus he is still officially their free agent so they have Bird Rights on him.
If they were to renounce his cap hold (which they won't) they could no longer match the offer.

Resigning your guy does not effect the cap. It just puts you in luxury tax hell.I'm still curious where the Rockets think they are getting that kind of money.
I always thought that was just on an extension though.
Nope. They can sign up to the salary cap and still match the offer. But they have to get Bosh signed before they match on Parsons, hence the time limit thing being a pretty serious issue.
Of course, if Bosh signs today, they can fuck with Dallas by waiting until the last possible second to match, since Dallas can't spend that money until Houston officially matches the offer sheet. And Dallas could then miss out on their own plan B or what have you.

5th largest media market in the U.S.
They should be fine for cash.

Andre is going to make The Leap and be the best player in the NBA next season.
Fuck, I'm going to go up to the bridge here, and try to fly. #GoodbyeCruelWorld

If this deal is for less then 4 contract years, meaning no opt outs till after year 4. then that needs to be addressed in the next CBA
As a guess, I assume it's the quickly becoming normal 4 year deal with a player option after year 3.
-
So now can Houston get Lin dumped (presumably on Philly for some reason) and Bosh signed before the Parsons deadline to match.
And, if not... Do they give up on Bosh or do they let Parsons go for free?
-
In theory, Wiggins and Lebron should be scary as fuck on defense if they don't pull off a trade for Love.
-
So, now, just for a moment, imagine that Chicago gets Melo, Cleveland pulls off a trade for Love, and Lance returns to Indy and the Pacers rediscover the team they had the first half of last season.
That is one loaded division potentially.

I hold Jae personally responsible for Bryan's injuries.

God damn, how miserable do you have to be before turning down an extra 30 million starts seeming like a decent idea?

Charter still not carrying this, even if I upgraded from the Silver package to Gold? Yup.
I really hate all of you.

Hey man, the chance to play with a young beast like Andre cancels out at least one of Jennings and Smith.

Various threads seem to be getting Driver and/or SQL errors. Including the NFL Offseason thread, but I've hit one or two other ones today as well.

Duncan did seriously consider Orlando that year, before deciding to return to SA (or, more exact, before deciding not to use the threat of signing a free agent max with Chicago as leverage to force a sign and trade to Orlando for the re-signing max level. Which is what McGrady and Hill did, the latter being my all-time favorite trade in NBA history.)

Maybe James just really hasn't made up his mind?

Much like Teddy Roosevelt, Death will have to come for Harley while he's sleeping, because if he tries it when he's awake, there's gonna be a fight.
Dammit I was just about to post that exact thing

I hope he signs with, like, Houston just to fuck with everybody.
Or Detroit. Detroit would be good.

Bosh staying in Miami is shocking news to me.
