sorry, but this ish is wack on so many levels.

"look...he's so gay [lmao]"

important details worth noting, indeed.

yes, calling a man a girl is also taking the high road of comedy.

sorry, but it's quite sad that this is even entertained as comedy. it's a pathetic attempt at bullying that belongs in middle school.

Thank you! Completely agree. Its ironic how those guys are making fun of Bosh and in fact are ridiculing themselves with their words.

lol i certainly thought it was funny. Bosh is kinda effeminate.

I don't get what's funny about that- who cares? Not every man is macho and goes around square jawed and stoic eating steak. Is it important to people whether he's gay or not?

I have a lot of respect for Bosh- he's put up with a LOT of abuse these past few years, He seems like a sensitive guy but he's handled it with a lot of class. Genuinely cares about winning and looks really upset when losing, yeah he disappears sometimes in big games, but he's made a lot of sacrifices to help his team.

If Rockets are out, and Pau is BUll Bound, Melo done or he gonna wait it out to see what Mavs do?

Lebron came out of "the decision" and masterstroked the sequel! He restored a lot of cred. Melo is looking indecisive and everyone said he'll "take the money". Who cares about Bosh. He got two rings and now he took the money.

Question is are the Rockets really out of this???

I doubt Lala will go for Houston or Dallas. Their son like it in NY so he likely resigns.

Children don't get to make that kind of decision. Their son will be happy if Mommy is around and Happy.

Wonder if they are going to match Parsons offer or if this is the move to counter that.

thinking what they would do if they want to continue to buy talent before Chandler Parson's contract is in full effect
With the return of a mature veteran now in Ariza,
Rockets have about 12m in cap space, players that they can pursue include players like

Lance Stephenson

or

Depth with, veterans like Deng AND Marion with no state income tax

In addition, they could still have the MLE, of likely 3.2m to add to their roster to either a PG like

DJ Augistine/Sessions/Bayless/Mo Williams

and possibly a backup do D12 with D-MO, the Euro BIG, possibly a backup BIG like Greg Stimensa/Chris Johnson (ex Twolve) or another cheap VET MIN option

This could be a better team when all said is done, with one of the DEEPEST teams in the league with a core of

Harden (could be playing a scoring PG/SG role, similar to a bigger Monta Ellis, with shooters to space him out)
Ariza
Parsons
D12

With about 12m in cap space before they decide to likely keep Chandler Parsons
They have 1 day to try to add

Lance Stephenson?
or
Deng and Marion if they cannot get Lance Stephenson

I don't see how they have cap space if they match the 15 mil per year offer to Parsons. Between Howard, Ariza and Harden they are at 44 mil. Signing Parsons puts them at 59 mil for four players. They have to be over the cap if they match that deal I believe.

They can exceed the cap to pay Parson because they have his bird rights. That's why it was important to make room for Bosh and sign him before they matched. Basically they are using Melo/Bosh money to sign FAs.

“@ChrisMannixSI: Wizards offer to Trevor Ariza was comparable to Houston's, but tax-free Texas was a factor in his decision, per a source.”

Problem is the Rockets are on a timer- I think they only have one more day until they have to match Parsons offer sheet.

I love how the media have such a boner for the Nets, they all praised that trade last year in which they gave up all their picks for 2 past it players and went way over the cap. The kind of stuff we used to get blasted for (and rightly so). What do they have to show for it? KG is no longer effective and Pierce has just gone for nothing.
