Rockets: sign Trevor Ariza

[baseline bum]

Parsons is worth 12 mil at most. 3 extra mil a year can be forgiven when his production/salary value was the highest in the NBA last season...you could say it averages out if they match the contract. They have a small window too, need to win now. If they had actually signed a good stretch 4 like Hawes instead of stargazing they wouldn't be in this position and wouldn't really have to match though.

Hawes would have been awesome there. I disagree on Parsons for $12 million though. I would pay him maybe $9 million, but I guess he has an argument when the market values Frye's scrub ass at $8 million a season and Jordan Hill makes $9 million. You guys should have made a max offer for Bledsoe the second Bosh went to Miami. I know I said some team is going to regret paying him, but , every team but the Spurs and Cavs are going to regret the contracts given out this summer with what players are making.

Would be stupid to match Parson's now. There are much better value players out there.

Yes it would be a waste if you plan to play 5 players.

I think they did make that offer to Bledsoe.

You're nuts to put your eggs in Ariza's basket. Match Parsons. Don't around with it.

[Jenks]

I'd bet Houston makes a move for Boozer when he gets amnestied in a few days.

Without Ariza, you're light one, though.

[HemisfairArena]

As long as the bricker Harden is on the Rockets,,,they wont win .

More like without Howard we're light one.

Parsons is not a 4 and I thought Jones wasn't bad last year tbh. But whatever.

Doesn't matter he'll find 40 minutes per nite. Match it!

I'm leaning towards matching him. We need wing depth and while not worth 15 mil he is worth more to us than Dallas

Maybe they can match and then trade him to the mavs for a first. They can get something out of him then at least. Not sure if that's allowable under the CBA though

[Franklin]

Welcome Paul Pierce to Dallas, tbh

Not immediately. Then if Mavs sign others & lose cap space wouldn't be able to just absorb him for a pick later.

Can't trade him until Dec 15th and not to the mavs for the year I think

You can't afford not to match and it's got nothing to do with dollars and everything to do with "cents."

[LkrFan]

Looks like it's another season of those ing gots Barnes and Dudley at the 3 and another second-round exit for us... !

Feigning again eh, BNSF? Case in point: there is no such thing as a "Clipper Fan"

It'd be a dumb move, dj. Paying Parsons 15mil is gonna look really silly when the Rockets are getting hammered on the block against the Clippers or Spurs in the 2nd round next year tbh.

N, son, "feigning" is "box-score watching" while hopping on the Bulls bandwagon

[Venti Quattro]

So he's back with the Rockets...

He won't be starting at PF. They are chasing a PF. Ariza likely comes off the bench.

[spurraider21]

4 years 32 mil off the bench? eh

Your best wing defender off the bench would be re ed tbh. And as spurraider said, not at that price. The money to match Parsons is much better spent at other positions. Ariza for Parsons at half the price is a HUGE upgrade for the Rox tbh.

[djohn2oo8]

Parsons ties together the offense really well. There is a scenario where the Rox keep their MLE, BLE, and Lin trade exception even if they match Parsons. They would have to modify the Asik trade to make.that happen.

[sook]

The rockets HAVE to match.
