What will Morey do with MVParsons?

[LkrFan]

The Houston Rockets are going to take a risk with Chandler Parsons, but which one?

Parsons is under contract for $964,750 next season with a team option.

If the Rockets pick up the option, they’d get Parsons for that ultra-cheap salary next year. However, he’d become an unrestricted free agent in 2015, and Houston would face a greater risk of losing him for nothing.

If the Rockets decline the option, Parsons would become a restricted free agent this summer. The Gilbert Arenas applies only to players with one or two years experience, so Parsons doesn’t qualify. But because the Rockets has Parsons’ full bird rights, they could match any offer he receives. Plus, Parsons’ restricted status would likely cool the market for him, because other teams would know Houston could match any offer.

Q: How do you make a decision on picking up the option on Chandler Parsons’ contract when you don’t know what will happen in free agency two weeks after your deadline to make a decision?

A:”We won’t know everything we need to know when we have to make a decision on Chandler’s (contract) option. We have to make the best decision at the time we have to make it (June 29).”

Morey’s decision very well could hinge on Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin.


Asik and Lin hold actual 2014-15 salaries of $14,898,938 (even though their cap amounts are lower), so trading them won’t be easy. The Rockets definitely think Asik is undervalued, and they might be right. But if nobody else knows it, it doesn’t matter as far as trades. They face similar difficulties with trading Lin.

MVParsons is a good, young, cheap player with upside. I hope the Rockettes lose him tbh.

[jag]

Morey sh** all over himself when he acquired Lin.

The Advanced Stat Master should have seen this coming...

[sook]

maybe trade him for rondo? Idk, Mchale or Milk Hair, is still here so it doesn't really matter.

Lin wasn't his call. It was that bastard Jew owner.

I'd trade him now. Soon he's going to be making more money than he's worth.

[StrengthAndHonor]

He's a good 4th option player on a cheap contract. Rockets will keep him.

eh, this is like when lakerfans blame fredo when kupcake fucks up

[djohn2oo8]

Lin wasn't a Morey pick. Morey cut him the first time. Alexander was pissed at Morey for waiving him, and is why Alexander wanted him back after the whole Linsanity bullshit.

[Clipper Nation]

SMH.... Lin still being scapegoated, tbh....

Morey should really be on the hot seat for trading for that loser Harden, tbh....

Yeah, he should have rode with Kevin Martin.

[djohn2oo8]

Morey should be on the hot seat for not upgrading the PG spot and PF.

[spurraider21]

sitting on Asik the whole time was a colossal waste

[djohn2oo8]

I agree. He should take blame for that too. Trading him before the season should have been priority.

[Clipper Nation]

Yeah, he should have rode with Kevin Martin.

One ref-reliant choker for another :downspin:

Morey should have kept Dragic, tbh.... Dragic and Dwert would be a far scarier team than Harden and Dwert....

Howard would have never come if just Dragic. And no, just no.

Dwert's even dumber than I thought, then.... then again, he is single-handedly keeping McFail's job safe :lol

It's funny. Dwight supports McHale, Harden doesn't.

[Clipper Nation]

It's funny. Dwight supports McHale, Harden doesn't.

You'd think Harden would love a coach who lets him chuck and not play defense while being too scared to hold him accountable, tbh....

[djohn2oo8]

Parsons supports him too, though I want him gone. His game has gone to his head and he isn't anything more than a role player and he's playing for a contract in which he'll demand around 50 mil. Beverley isn't a starting PG, nor Lin. Jones is a SF, not a starting PF. So you have multiple low IQ players (Beverley, Lin, Jones, Motiejuanas) at your most important positions in which two of your PGs cannot dribble in the clutch (Beverley, Lin). With all that, better coaching beats Portland. If you keep McHale, you better hire a lead assistant who controls the offense, and defense. Someone who can replace him.

McHale doesn't hold anyone accountable, which is why Parsons never shut the hell up with the insane amount of shit talking he did. And he paid for it. Kelvin Sampson was the leader of the team through most of the season until he left.

Perfect D to let Lillard get open for the 3.

[Franklin]

I don't think they'll match any offer for MVParsons. They're still hoping to land Melo so they have to preserve their cap room. The Lockets will pick the team option to have him for another cheap year I think, and they'll then look to trade him away packed with Rin or Asik.

houston is the only texas team that isn't facing a downward trajectory when looking at the next 3 years or so. at that point, houston will still have harden and dwight, and will shift some pieces around. the money being spent on lin and asik will get them some good players hopeully, they may or may not retain parsons, and at that point will likely have a coach not named McHale... on the other hand, the German is declining and that team has no future, and the Spurs aren't going to get any better than they have been the last 2 seasons

[Franklin]

The Lockets are a shitty franchise though, which means they'll always manage to lose despite their talent level.

[spurraider21]

they're certainly better than the mavs, which is why they were able to land Dwight even though the mavs were tanking for 2 years in an effort to land him

[sexinthatsx]

Howard would have never come if just Dragic. And no, just no.

Howard's pretty stupid to think that James Harden can magically become a great passer for the team and make an effective inside outside combo tbh... if he was smart he would've chosen a team with a better PG or at least demanded that Houston try to trade for a star PG

Harden is a good passer. And he did demand them get a PG during the season.

[djohn2oo8]

Morey was dumb enough not to trade Parsons for Rondo.

[DMC]

Chandler for AI. That would be a good fit in GS. Another outside threat who's fairly intelligent and can't play defense. Should fit right in.

[sexinthatsx]

He's good for his position, but the Rockets are relying on him to bring the ball up and become the primary ball handler a little too much. Houston could benefit so much more from a passing PG and giving it to Harden to create iso plays

[Gummi Clutch]

Doubt Houston trades a white for a black when the white is actually a better player.

[Franklin]

Calderon + Wright for TC. I know Wright is good and has the potential but Dallas need to win now imho. NY need a PG bad so they wouldn't mind taking Calderon's contract, while Dallas can promote Harris to the starting lineups (giving young guys like Larkin and Merkel more playing time off the bench) so they can work smoothly with Calderon's departure.

[DMC]

Doubt Houston trades a white for a black when the white is actually a better player.

Maybe, but Houston is black as an ace of spades, and you already have a chink. There's no room in Houston for a white guy, and AI would give them defense and explosiveness on the break.

The incorporation or continuation of a chink doesn't make up for the loss of a white, especially one that so many girls get their panties wet over.

[Franklin]

^ especially after he begins to earn big bucks that he deserves. Bitches don't wet their panties for a guy who is so poor (by an NBA player's standard of course) no matter how he looks, they always prioritize money above anything, tbh.

[Captivus]

How much do you think Parsons can get?

[TDMVPDPOY]

doesnt this clown have a bad back?

wouldnt touch him....

but guys like him and that white dude on utah will be the bench line for kawhis starting price when his conract is also up...

The team is talented from top to bottom. It's that freaking stupid management and coach of ours.

[Indazone]

We won't be able to hang on to Parson's. The dude is gone. TBH

What are you talking about? He'll be a RFA.
