I hope Lebron decision doesn't screw Mavs

[vlad]

From what I understand this now puts the Mavs in a horrible spot, timing-wise.

Bosh signs with Houston.
Houston then can wait until Sunday at midnight to match for Parsons - and in the meantime its likely plan B options (Ariza, Deng) go off the market.

Sounds like Dirk is going to get the short end of the stick once again....fingers crossed.

The Mavs are screwed. The Rockets are making trades and moving guys to get enough space to sign Bosh and keep Parsons.

Spurs somehow destroy 2 franchises in one series.

The Heat would have gone through the same thing even if they won the Finals.

Looks like Bosh will stay with Miami.

That probably means the Rockets are going to "match" to keep Parsons.

Not necessarily, this really screwed up the rockets plans. They could take being locked up with both those guys, but matching Parsons without another top player could keep them from contending in future years. There plan went up in flames.

I agree. I think LeBron still would've went home even if they won.

no way LeBron opts out if they three-peat. They would have tried for the four-peat than the team would have broken off.

Imo that's highly unlikely given the fact that the Rox have reportedly agreed to terms with Ariza.

No way. All three would've stayed with Miami. They wouldn't leave after winning 3 in a row.

Looks like Mavs are getting Parsons afterall. Houston taking a pass and they might do a SnT even.

Mavs are just fine, thank you.

Yeah, that's good news. I've tuned out sports other than my teams the past few years - I hear Parsons is well rounded with all-star upside. Can anyone speak to his style of play, strenghts, etc? thx.
