Did Morey say that? What made Parsons contract so bad? Yes, a little overpaid last season but now it seems to be on par with what everyone else is getting and he has a option to get out next season right?

i don't know the details but there were clauses that limited trade options both in the areas of when he could be traded and also in the area of financial considerations. My understanding is that they were pretty specific. Cuban's response to Morey was something like, "We don't intend to ever trade him, so we don't think they are a big deal". Something along those lines.

Lebron is wisely holding Gilbert's feet to the fire by only signing these 1-year contracts, and so Gilbert would be under a ton of pressure to match any offer TT got.

But more importantly, it doesn't appear we're even close to having enough cap space to make a strong offer

What happened to all of the money we offered Jordan?

Still have, like, $16.5m cap space I think...

And Thompson is looking for more? Or would the Cavs match that? I'm sure they would for Lebron's sake.

Well, about $5MM went to Za Za, another $5MM to D-Will, and Wes got an extra $3MM. So there's a majority of it.

The cap-master here posted on the other board that we had about $11MM left after ZaZa; so after D-Will we'll be down to around $6MM.
