Houston struck out on bosh. Which means Parsons is back which means Dallas doesn't get parsons which means the west is exactly the same as last year.

Hmmm..
That's what I read from their forums.

They can look all they want...fact is they are only going to likely be able to get either via S&T. If Heat OK sending us Bosh as part of that it works for me, but I don't see why Bosh would give up on HOU and MIA to join us. Deng would have to be an S&T as well since they have McBob set to take the MLE down there. Even if McBob opts out of the verbal, Heat will only have MLE to offer.

Now James #6 joins my collection.. May also hunt some #23 James Cavs jersey.

Ya, I obviously woulda prefered it if LBJ came to the Suns, but I like that he didn't take the easy way out this time. Excellent choice for his legacy if he manages to win with Cleveland

He's already been in the east his whole career, he isn't leaving the west

Lol I expect Miami go to go hard at Melo if it's not too late to persuade him. Upgrade the Big Three 1.0 to the Big Three 1.5

Well apparently a lot can happen while a guy writes a post...cancel all of the Bosh, Bledsoe, and Deng statements above....

Yah, Cleveland has their 2015 1st, IMHO top 10 protected. Oh the irony :rofl:

Not saying you're lying but I can't find another source on this. We're gonna need more than "announced on the radio".

OKC only has 5 mill in cap space. This report was a lie.

Anyone else get the feeling that Phoenix is about to be the last guy at the bar at the end of the night? Early on in FA our prospects were good (we thought), we worked our game on the hottest girl at the bar only to have her go home with her ex. So here we are, last call has been made, even Isaiah Thomas is starting to look like he's at least 6ft tall.

I'm disappointed in management this offseason.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy Bosh is staying in Miami. Houston could have been really scary.

With Lin in LA, HOU having to pay Parsons near the max, Bosh and Wade resigning with Miami, can anyone even offer Bledsoe the max?

Cashing in and becoming the "loyal one" in this situation. Plus, his stats will go up, they will still be a playoff team in the East. Maybe Riley can convince Melo... if not, maybe Deng and even Bledsoe?

Bledsoe
Wade
Deng
Bosh

OH! and they still have those commitments from Granger and McBob! :lol:

I want to see what else happens first... let alone to see how our seasons goes before I pass judgment on this offseason.

Why do the Heat need Bledsoe when they drafted Shabazz "Lebron Approved" Napier???

Wait.... hopefully they aren't looking at Bledsoe!

I don't think they can because they would have to have a contract in place with Bledsoe before the deal with Parson's is finalized allowing them to go over the cap and keep both. Since Bledsoe is a RFA, I don't think this can be done.

Waaay too early. Lebron and Bosh were long shots. Love is a long shot. Let's see what happens with the next tier of free agents. I'm holding out that 5 pgs = too many and a potentially exciting trade.

Bledsoe to CLE for Draft Picks and others... that is my hope..

Melo to MIA scenarios would have to be a sign and trade. MIA would have to send out equal salary to receive him at this point. Very unlikely....given the players involved in current acquisitions.

I honestly do not understand these kinds of statements. How can you be disappointed? They took a shot for a star and came up empty. I applaud management for going for it and the offseason is far from over. Who has been signed already that you wish the Suns had landed where you would not have been disappointed?
