They just traded their backup PG and C for cap space that they won't be able to use if they re-sign Parsons. I think you can get decent production from Ariza at half the cost and then use the rest of your space to fill out your decimated roster. I don't think Parsons is a max guy, so I guess I wouldn't be matching that deal from the Mavericks. What's stopping you from keeping the cap space to try to pry Aldridge away from Portland next offseason or leaving the space open for Love if he doesn't get traded? I just don't see how they get better keeping Parsons at that much money when they lost some useful pieces for a botched move. I would rather throw a max at Bledsoe if I were them to try to get a potential star than overpay a role player. I feel like the GM's watched too much Oprah going into this offseason. "You get a max contract, you get a max contract and you get a max contract! Everybody is getting a max contract!"

Deng is a nice stop-gap andthe Heat will be a 4-6 seed in the east next year but D-Wade is fading fast and tha Bosh contract is going to be an albatross pretty quick. If I was a Heat fan I'd be very nervous about their future.
