If you made me bet, right now, I would bet on Houston matching.

Bosh taking less than the Max to retain a player like Parsons seems like a no brainer to me. As in a likelihood.

Ugh.

Oh well, as long as we still get Lance (assuming Deng & Ariza get gobbled up), this can be an awesome off season.

I would think based on the potential alone that Lance would be right up there on the totem pole. And he shouldn't cost anywhere close to 15 mil...but who knows.

Lance would be my pick of all of 'em. 23 yr old, defensive bull dog, guards 3 positions, offensive game just beginning to blossom but already fairly efficient, one of the best rebounders for his position in the league . Potential through the roof. $10mil gets it done.

He is a player for the present and future. (Unlike Deng/Ariza.)

So he's a little crazy?

I think the antics were blown wayyyy out of proportion, but the lockerroom did blow up at the exact wrong time. Definitely a red flag for the entire team as far as I'm concerned.

And I like a guy who is passionate on pretty much every play. Who better than Rick to put Lance's focus in tune? And Chandler should help guide him with that as well. Better to care too much versus not at all.

But I suppose we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves. I'm quite happy if we get Parsons.

I'd be ecstatic with Parsons...honestly, I never saw it has a possibility and am trying to keep my enthusiasm tempered.

But now, if we miss out on CP, I think Lance is the only FA that would keep me from suffering a letdown. (Ariza/Deng do not get me excited)

Really? I figured Deng or Ariza would be the best we could do this summer (and that was before the Tyson Chandler trade)... But if we somehow landed Parsons or Stephenson, I'd definitely grade this offseason an A+.

Agree about CP/Lance + Tyson being a GREAT off season.

But Deng/Ariza just don't do much for me and I don't see them getting us near the top 4/5 in the West this year.

I'm not sure that Lance/CP do either, but they are YOUNG! And this team needs "young".

I'd like to see this off season be for more than the desperate idea of maximizing Dirk's window. Unless the plan is to stink once Dirk retires. (Which isn't a terrible plan considering this team's inability to draft well.)
