Btw, if Phoenix wanted him this bad, why didn't the Wiz trade him to them in the Morris deal?

Liquidate all of the assets, start from scratch and rebuild while the markets sorts itself out.
The Wizards are setup for about half a decade of finishing either outside or near the bottom half of the 8 playoff spots.

Saw somewhere that Sacto never had plans to keep Rondo. Still, if they sign Ryan Anderson and can move some of their excess bigs to Minny for Rubio (assuming they don't get a big man FA), they'd be decently balanced. At least offensively.
“He ain’t going nowhere. I will kidnap him myself,” Cousins told Yahoo Sports.

A decent contract considering what it could have been, but still a downgrade for them since this means Horford is gone. I guess they're willing to do that to keep Bazemore?

And the other shoe drops in Atlanta...

So their offseason ends up as subtracting Horford+Teague, keeping Bazemore, and adding Howard. Tough to see how they are better.
The worst thing we can do is overpay for mediocrity a team source told ESPN, acknowledging that the Mavs need to find a way to hop off the mediocrity treadmill Cuban fears so much, one way or another. Cuban didn't doubt that Parsons would get paid but he couldn't stomach the risk particularly since The consensus opinion of his advisory committee was that the Mavs should be willing to let Parsons walk.

Ted doesn't mind the mediocrity treadmill

Forgot about Dallas! Man, they haven't been able to do anything so far. Mahinmi is the only center left (after Biyombo agreed with Orlando) and they'll probably have to stick with Deron at PG. If I'm Dirk, that's not enough.
So...what does he do? Maybe to Houston to be part of D'Antoni's offense? We would actually be a good fit if we don't get Horford.

I don't think the Houston is a much better situation than us. One scenario might be going to the Cavs in a 3 team deal if they decide to deal Love. GSW and OKC would also be possible destinations.
