No we aren't. If we want him we can match, unlike we could have next summer. If we think he costs too much then we can let him walk.
LOL. rockets's plan back fired! instead of keeping him on a cheap rookie scale for one more year with Bosh (possibly), rockets screwed themselves in so many ways. apparently, they have not learned their lessons with asik and lin. i luv it

Yes , you are .
No more Parsons+ max free agent, unless Morey is a real miracle worker.
The Rockets never had the capspace to offer a full max contract. It was always going to be a shade below. Morey still has a chance to give someone $19M and match on Parsons.
The only tricky part is LeBron deciding, or not, in the next 3 days.

How has Houston screwed itself. The two options were:
1) Make Parson's restricted and have the right to match any offer, while having a chance to get 2 for 1 this summer (squeeze another near max guy in and then go over the cap to sign Parsons).
2) Make Parsons unrestricted next year, lose the right to match, and spend all of your available caproom on him.

Sure they are.
If you really want to keep Parsons, they can't sign Bosh anymore. That means the Mavs can go after Bosh....Rockets are on the clock...
It will be interesting. Basically, Bosh has three days to decide if he wants to accept the Rockets offer. He's on the clock. Of oourse, if Lebron goes to the Cavs, Bosh is off the clock.

I'll go with option #1 every time.
you could have kept him on the rookie scale, sign Bosh then give Parsons whatever contract you want next year because you have his bird rights and can go over the cap

Yes, but then he is unrestricted. I'd rather chase the same guy this summer and give myself the option to keep him if I want him. And for the record, unless another max guy is coming in and destroying our cap regardless, then I don't want him on a max contract.

Which, given Lebron's history, is anything but a given. Rockets will have until Sunday to match. How often are announcements of this magnitude made on the weekend? So IMO, if Lebron doesn't make his decision by Friday to trigger the dominoes, you guys are out of luck.
Yeah well, before laughing at the screwed Rockets, I look at the Lakers and envy the Rockets' situation
Except for the whole having Harden on your team thing though. I really don't envy that.
Yeah, marshall - Sacre is so much better than Harden - Howard.
I fell you. Only problem is you wouldn't say the same if Harden-Howard were Laker and Marshall-Sacre Rockets.
We play for championships in LA. That Harden-Howard lineup lost in the first round this year, definitely not jealous of that. I would rather get a good prospect like Randle than be first round fodder

Out of luck in trying to get a 2 for 1, sure. But that was only possible this summer. It would not have been possible next summer. If we want Parsons we will match. If not then we won't. But at least we get to choose.

Objectivity is the key here.
I have no respect for Harden's game whatsoever. Glad he's not a Laker. And that's probably the only player in the league I feel that strongly about. _________________

parsons is getting 'unrestricted' $$$ a year early. $15 millions!!! bet the rockets didn't expect that offer. even if they match (unlikely), rockets will have to shed players and not have $$ to spend on others to booster their bench. rockets screwed themselves by losing parsons for nothing a year early.
didn't Howard said one of his reasons for signing with the Rockets was to play with Parsons? LOL
nice way that turned out Dwight... _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold & contain life, but the quality of life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

I don't know what is so hard to understand.
*The Rockets can sign Bosh to a MAX this year THEN go over the cap for Parsons.
*Next year he would have been an UFA and the Rockets wouldn't be able to match anything, and they'd have to be the first ones to offer a max contract.
*The Rockets with Bosh couldn't use cap space for any role players anyways, they're still reliant on MLE.
*It's always better to have RFA than UFA because....you can get Dwight Howarded. Ahem, ahem. That's why the Lakers are screwed until Kobe's contract ends.
I'd much, much rather have the Rockets team right now. They also have a lot of assets moving forward.
