Houston, New Orleans, and possibly Chicago clearing cap room

So if Bosh and Wade stay and with what Heat acquired would Miami still be a contender?

If they can add a third piece, yes.

No.

I could see them offering Monroe max.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I could see them offering Monroe max.

Maybe. But I think they're operating under a hard cap of $81 million this year. I have a feeling they're going to resign Bosh and Wade and then add pieces without giving up cap flexibility next year.

I think its kind of funny that Houston missed out on James, Melo, and Bosh. Declined the option on Parsons. They got rid of their backup center(Asik) and backup PG(Lin). Gave away a first round pick. And now is going to sign Parson on a bad contract...lol

Awesome breakdown of their situation. They chased the sun and it melted their wings. Watching them self destruct today has been as much fun as watching them lose in the playoffs. Guess Parsons becomes the last member of their Big 3.

They'd have been better off keeping Lin and the draft pick, and then started building assets for a run at somebody next year. Now they'll have $50+ million invested in Howard, Harden and Parsons. I wonder if they just decide to not match that contract and let him leave. They'd preserve the room for another max slot next year if they do that (especially with a cap bump next offseason.)

And don't forget Granger.
They should be able to dominate the shuffleboard board and bingo game tournaments at the South Beach Assisted Living Center.

 

[Shocker00]

Yeah, Houston might let Parson go now

 

[//r00t 4 Jazz]

I just want to point out that I mentioned this in the "Hayward has agreed to an offer with Hornets" thread. Granted I first read it on Jody Genessy tweet and because I thought it would be good for that Jazz figured it wouldn't happen.

A+ effort for houston. F for the result

The Salary cap is literally worthless to my knowledge.

Then you need much, much better knowledge. Starting with any at all.
