Not quite. Houston can match parsons and go over the cap.

Obviously they can but why pay big money for two Small Forwards not named Lebron? Unless it's just to prove a point to Dallas. I think they'll let Parsons go to us to give them flexibility in the future. We'll know by late tomorrow.

MFFL.

I just hope other players don't sign before then.

Looks like Pierce is off the board. If we don't land Parsons I'm guessing the Mavs just bring back Marion. Unless they decide to roll the dice on Stephenson.

Keeping fingers crossed for Parsons.

I don't see a reason why Houston would sign Ariza and then commit that much to Parsons for the same position. It would really hamstring them for many years where a trade would be the only way to add players. I can see Houston doing it though for the simple fact its the Mavs and they will try to stick it to them anyway possible. We shall see tonight.

On a side note, I dont see Houston ever winning a championship as long as they have Howard. That guy just has a losing DNA to me.

[pHILSANITY07]

Howard is physically a presence but only inside 5 feet of the rim. No outside game what so ever. He's had patrick Ewing and Hakeem try to help him.

Mavs have signed Richard Jefferson to a veterans minimum one year deal. He shot 41% from the 3 last year with Utah.

Interesting...

With all the moves occurring in the past 24 hours, I don't see Parsons coming to Dallas happening

Parsons is a Maverick now. Houston decided not to match because it would severely limit future roster building.

Just caught this as well. Awesome! I wasn't sure if this was going to happen or not because of Bosh deciding to stay in Miami but glad it worked out. I feel we overpaid for Pason's but unfortunately that's the way free agency worked out this summer. Welcome to the Mavs Chandler Parsons!

[Lone Sailor]

We may have overpaid a little bit for him, but we underpaid Dirk by a vast margin, which we all knew would have to happen.

I think it's ok that we slightly over paid for 25 year old Parsons when the Mavs are getting a bargain for Dirk, Monta, and Devin Harris.

Adding Jefferson for the vet minimum was also a great pick up.

MFFL!
