I hate this ing got so much. He shouldn't be making over 5 mil/yr, the dude is notorious for playing it up in contract years and then sucking it up.
4 years 32 million per Amick. Guess no more Parsons?

So Dallas gets Parsons after all. Ariza is a better fit/value anyway.
He plays Defense. We clearly need it.
Can't you afford him now that Lin is off the books?
Parsons can play the 4.
Yeah I just read Parsons might actually still be matched..
We do, but I can't help but remember the cringeworthy season we had when we brought him here. The dude should never dribble more than twice with how bad his handles are.
this off season blows, we still need to match CP.
Man, this blows for Houston fans. All they got is Ariza after begging Melo and Bosh twice
Thats almost Laker failure territory![]()
That year they forced him to play as the primary option. Not this time.
C: Howard
PF: Parsons
SF: Ariza
SG: Harden
PG: Bev
That's a nice starting lineup. Parsons + Ariza = Bosh, imo.
The ideal scenario would have been to obtain a true stretch 4 like Spencer Hawes, but you're right that could work. Now need to build a quality bench.
Ariza for 8 is a better value than parsons for 15.3. Interesting if they still match
Aldridge is licking his chops
And you also shed Lin.
Morey is looking smart right now, actually.
You have 3 defensive players in Howard, Ariza, and Bev (who can also provide scoring), and 2 all-around offensive weapons that can pass and shoot.
I actually don't like this as a Spurs fan. Rockets got a lot more dangerous and versatile. Parsons is going to have a big year at the 4.
Only caveat is McHale. Lineup like this needs a system.
lol no way Mid. Bosh spurning them was the worst possible scenario for the Rox... they needed him
+1Their biggest issue was defense, and Parsons at 4 is suicide.
Asik, Jones couldn't even handle Aldridge. Bosh was their guy and that was a huge blow.
Would be funny taking Ariza, and Parsons from Cuban then making him lose Carter.
Looks like it's another season of those ing gots Barnes and Dudley at the 3 and another second-round exit for us... !
With Bosh, they have a guy that can pretty much fortify Dwight on the offensive end, and being the perfect back-up at center at the same time... Houston would have been a 60-win le contending team, now even with Parsons they're back to a 53-55 win 2nd round exit.
I hope I'm wrong. Less threats in the West is better for Spurfan, obviously. But with the way the NBA is going toward small ball, the Rockets have a strong lineup for that.
