Free Agent Rumors Thread

I've been guessing that Parsons wants to return to Houston, but I hope one WC team really tries to chip away at that trust/foundation. Losing Parsons would be a big blow against the dynasty they're trying to build. The jazz could show some serious mettle by swiping him away (pulling a "Portland", if you will).

GVC...is it correct the cap hold is adjusted immediately once an offer sheet is made? For example, if Parsons were to sign an offer sheet on July 10th, it's my understanding the cap hold for Houston goes up to whatever his offer is. They still have 3 days to match or decline, but their cap hold is increased until they match, the 3 days is up or they officially decline.

Ah, I kind of found what I was looking for.... (from the cbafaq.com site)

"...Likewise, the player's prior team cannot match an offer sheet that is greater than their room. They must have enough room -- again, either cap room or a satisfactory exception -- at the time they are given notice that the player has signed an offer sheet, and at all times until matching. They cannot make moves to create sufficient room after receiving an offer sheet.

There are additional restrictions placed on offer sheets for players with one or two years in the league, under a rule known as the "Gilbert Arenas provision." This provision helps enable teams to retain their restricted free agents under certain circumstances. This is described in question number 45."

So there are still a few ways, but very rare, to make an offer another team can't match. But it really only applies to Non-Bird players.

To emphasize the timeliness. Waiting around in the bushes playing ninja isn't how it's going to get done. Most likely.

And we could clear up enough cap space to make Parsons an offer while still maintaining the rights to Hayward (in case Houston matches). If the Rockets don't match, Jazz rescind the QO, making Hayward an UFA.

Why the **** would the Jazz just toss out the asset of agency rights to a desired commodity?

So I know the jazz have recently hosted a free agent. Problem is, I haven't been able to find out who it is.....

The Jazz could use a dedicated defender at the 3/4 spot, unless that's supposed to be Evans or something. Separately, I think the Jazz are holding out in free agency because a) they need to see what Hayward's offer will be, and b) I think they'd like to rent out their cap space for an asset or two like they did last year....notwithstanding the fact that there are several other teams with cap space this year.

When teams chase after FAs, they make short-sighted decisions. See Warriors, Golden State last year, who thought they could get Dwight Howard and gave up 2 first-round picks to swing and miss while overpaying Andre Iguodala.
