    Before people freak out about Dallas, remember that Parsons' agent, Fegan, is friends with Cuban. This is at the very least a favor from Cuban to bid up Parsons' value. There's no chance Morey made Parsons a RFA just so he can see his daughter's dream boy go to Dallas.

    It makes more sense to go after Lowry than Melo to me anyway. We need a legit starting PG in the worst way. If we can get Lowry then Beverly can go back to being a spark off the bench which his game is more suited to anyway. Then we get Parsons resigned and bargain hunt for a backup big and wing shooter/defender. I just don't like the idea of having 2/5 of our starting lineup be as god awful on defense as Harden/ Melo would be.

    Listen... if we get Lowry... it actually makes the pitch to Melo/Love all that better.

    Why wouldn't Melo want to sign with a hard nosed team... that's what a Lowry/Bev combo does. It provides the grit we need. "warriors" as Melo stated in that interview...

    The odd man out could be Parsons, but who knows...

    PG Lowry/Bev
    SG Harden/ James Johnson
    SF Melo/ Garcia
    PF T Jones/ filler
    C Howard/ filler

    or

    PG Lowry/Bev
    SG Harden/ James Johnson
    SF FA/etc
    PF Love/ T Jones
    C Howard/ filler

    Either way... Morey hits big. Real big. Because that's a championship caliber team.

    damn, if that's true, that's jacked up.


    Cuban screws the Rockets, Fegan gets paid.

    AHH this news! YES

    It's happening. Lowry said he ain't going to a lot of cities. And Houston was the first to meet him.

    **** the Mavs.

    This is our time. Back off of our players.

    Cuban is still salty about Dwight.
