4 to 6 is where I would put them. Maybe higher if Washington doesn't progress, which I suspect them to take a nice jump with Wall and Beal getting older.

Heat need another combo guard for the bench somebody like a Rodney Stuckey would be a nice pickup for the right price.

Looking at them right now, it looks as if a lot's going to depend on Wade's knees.

Chandler Parson is going to fit nicely on the Mavs

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-13-2014, 08:35 PM

Miami will probably win about 40-44 games next year.

It's a good contract because it's short in duration. It's a 2 year deal with a 3rd year option.

Before you start touting Ariza's horn, the guy has put together 2 really great years in his career and both were contract years. I'd be shocked if his play didn't fall off a cliff in Houston.

Who's playing PG for Houston?

Im in no way a fan of Houston's offseason. How can I be? It was a swing and miss and I definitely would have preferred to keep Parsons. Ariza is meh and can be traded with that contract, if needed. Though he's a downgrade, he's not a 7 million/year downgrade.

But let's get one thing straight... Parsons does not play defense. He has pretty much regressed every year. Some of that may be to playing 38 minutes a night, but his defense was almost as bad as Harden's. Ariza is definitely an upgrade there.

And Yes. It should be well known by now that I can't stand Pat Beverley. He might be better than what Dallas has though.

I really hope Cleveland can get Miller.

Rudy tossed tigger's salad · 07-13-2014, 08:45 PM

Morey is probably going to go after Rondo or something. Can't say I agree with it, but it's whatever. Best to luck to Parsons, I really do like him, but he's well overpaid.

I want to see Rustshack's posts after that.

If anything breaks apart mid-air, it'll be Kyrie's dick and LeBron will have to carry the entire load again.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-13-2014, 08:50 PM

Morey just flatly ****ed up when he agreed to let Parsons test the waters this year. You have to know that if you do that, especially w/ Morey's reputation, that he's going to get poison pilled.

On top of that, in an attempt to clear out cap space that wasn't used, he ended up giving away a valuable asset to dump Lin.

He overplayed his hand and flushed his chips in the process.

Yeah, he should be held accountable. He has some work in front of him.

****, I hate Alonzo Gee. Worst offseason ever. **** sports.

I hope he re-evaluates his method of stockpiling assets. I'm just not a fan of it. I still don't understand anyone who thinks Melo would have fit in when your team has Harden and Howard. I don't think he was criticized enough for paying a shitload of money to Lin and Asik, and then bringing in players who completely wipe out their games.

Going after Bosh? Good move. Going after Ariza? Good move. These are guys who actually complement the players on the court. Trading Lin and Asik? Good move. Hopefully this is a sign he's rethinking his approach and doesn't just chase after the next asset next year with no regard to fit.

He chased assets when he had none. Go back and look at that roster before Lin/Asik/Harden. Morey swung for the fences this off-season and it didn't work out. If he gets Bosh and they keep Parsons, he's a genuis. I'd love having him as my GM. The number of good moves greatly exceed the bad ones in his case.
