We need to act quick. The Rockets are rumored to be taking up every hour of the 72 hours they are alotted to match the Parsons offer sheet (screwing with the Mavs).

Go ahead and give him a 4X10 and let's call it an offseason.

10 isn't going to get him out of Indy, it's going to take a 4-48 type deal at best. Most likely will need to be in the 13.5-14 a year range to land him.

$13.5 is nearly a max... that ain't gonna happen.

The offer is going to have to blow Indy's out the water, he wants to stay in Indy. He would just like to be making more. He wants a deal around 12m a season to stay in Indy, will take more then that to get him to leave and Indy have no second thoughts on giving similar deal.

it will and it should

Sorry to tell you, but it won't.

If he was going to get a max, he would have gotten one by now. I'm one of Stephenson's biggest fans and was on his bandwagon while everyone was riding high on the Hayward train. However, there is no way he is getting $13.5 mil.

I'm willing to bet that he doesn't see more than $11.5 mil per year and if he sees it, I doubt it's from us.

He says he wants to stay in Indy, but wait until someone offers him a 4X$11. It's much easier to say what you want to do when you only have one contract offer.

Source: Stephenson a serious candidate for Mavs

">

This came out shortly before the SN report. They need a SF and not a SG. I think if Parsons falls through, they will go hard after Ariza and Deng first.

Maybe not, but he would have to play out of position because Mantae Ellis is the SG

It will help a lot if Rockets sign Ariza and therefore let Parsons go to Mavs.

That is best case scenario for us right now I think

I don't think that's very smart of them, but I definitely hope they do it. If that happens I don't see another team aside from us having a legitimate shot at Lance (aside from Indy of course).

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
