Just throwing it out there since people earlier were saying a guy like Richard Jefferson is an option.

ETA: My bad Lobo

SI just posted a story by LBJ claiming he is returning to the Cavs.

I guess Bosh to Houston shortly followed by Miami re-upping D Wade and throwing money at anyone they can find.

I have no idea why Bosh to Houston is considered such a given by everyone.

i really think signing Bosh is a bad idea for them. T-Jones is one of the best young PFs in the league, and this could hamper them. houston is a young team that can definitely grow over the next few years.

I think there's a chance we see Houston let Parsons walk, sign Bosh and use the $8.4 trade exception we give them for Asik to sign someone like Ariza. They'll also be getting an $8.4 trade exception for Lin and have the $2.7 Cap Room exception. Their bench won't be as bare as you think if their owner doesn't care about the tax which he said he doesn't for a contender.

I said sign Ariza, I obviously meant S&T, but the number crunchers have been saying they need to dump T Jones and Motiejunas to max out Bosh so I think Washington would gladly S&T a high price Ariza for one of those 2.

Another potential domino in this that affects the Pelicans is that I'm expecting a Wiggins for Love trade to come next. That means one less team ahead of us in the playoff race.

Riley apparently had a press conference where he trash-talked LBJ and Bosh about running rather than letting management work, asking if the Spurs ran away after losing to the Heat in a 7-game series in 2013.

It's pretty much the Gilbert letter without comic sans font.

Think that ESPN will start the whole "OMG, racism!" push against Riley? Yeah, I doubt it too.


EDIT -

Turns out this presser was from last month. It just happened to get bumped because of The Decision 2.0.

Jones is not that good. He can't play defense, he can't shoot, he's not a good rebounder, and he doesn't have a back to the basket game.

He's athletic so he can get some alley oops and he's okay at facing up and beating his man for a lay-up.

That's about it.

He certainly has room to get better, but Houston is in win now mode.

Plan now for Rockets, sources say, is to complete their Omer Asik trade with New Orleans AND move Jeremy Lin by Sunday
