Parsons is already playing close to his ceiling I'm afraid, just a rich man's Walter Herman imho.
He can improve. He was a better defender the season before last. Offensively, he can get even better. However, I won't freak out about it. I defended matching the contract and possibly trading later, but if the Rockets keep their MLE, BAE, then that's not bad. It was damned if you do damned if you don't.
Who cares when you get another year out of him (with the possibility to re-sign). If he's going to be gone anyways, why not milk one more cheap year?Wanted him back and though they'd match. I'm not going to meltdown over Parsons like they're doing at CF.
Sucks though, if you don't make him a RFA this year, he leaves unrestricted next year but you could trade him. But who trades for a rental who will probably leave?
Bruh - while Ariza is a better value (assuming he plays like he did with the Wiz and not like he did when he was with the Rockets), there is no way to spin that Ariza is better than Lin/Asik/Parsons. Not only from a basketball perspective, but from a future cap space perspective.
Them trading Lin/Asik didn't hurt them from a cap perspective, but not picking up Parson's option and replacing it with a 4 year/32M deal did.
Like I said in my posts above, their future cap space next year and the year after (at least) is in some trouble. If they use their means to improve their team this year to make up for the loss of Parsons/Asik/Lin, that best case scenario cap situation of 16M (assuming the cap doesn't move up from 63M) goes down. So if they sign any guaranteed 2 year deals or more or if they trade for one, it hurts their cap.
So if Parsons can improve on his game then he's definitely worth the money he got from the Mavs.
He was focused on trying to get his numbers last year and in the process his defense slipped badly. Will be interesting to see.
He was a product of McHale. Not sure why this guy is still coaching. He may be the worst coach in the Southwest Division.
^Tbh, Parsons did develop a massive ego, calling himself the best SF in the series then get obliterated by Batum. I wanted him back no doubt. Just couldn't forget that.
Parsons was guarding Batum? Uh oh.
San Antonio with an old Duncan and Dallas with an old Dirk are still better than Houston with a young Harden and Howard,,,sucks for Rocket fans.
The question for Houston is can they turn that TE and Capela into a vet PG or starting PF? I think they also got Gee's non-guaranteed deal to use in a trade. So long as Morey is willing to deal assets, Houston can still come out of this all right.
Is it true Morey turned down a trade for Rondo because he didn't want to include Parsons? If so, he seems really dumb now.
I think Harden And Dwight questioned how Rondo's at ude would fit. Yes they should have taken that deal obviously.
They reached out to Atlanta tonight about Millsap.
What assets? I mean you can count Capela & a future first? They don't exactly have a lot of assets to offer out other than cap relief to a team looking to get out of a bad contract.
If they take on a bad contract (or even a decent one that is more than one year), they effectively ruin any shot at cap space next year or the following year.
They have New Orleans' anti-protected pick. That's a huge asset. They have picks coming up and a few young players like Terrence Jones who could facilitate a deal.
New Roc e
Well, they traded their own 2015 first rounder so that's gone. It would have to be future, future pick(s). Sure Jones is decent and Capela, but they don't seem to have a ton of assets. Plus, taking on guaranteed money hamstrings them from a cap perspective for 2-3 more years possibly.
I was amazed to find out that she's still alive.
They had her on a TV Land Awards night a few years back and she could barely walk up on the stage. "Ritchie" had to assist her.

Hey, how bout a nice ELE of a Sunday evening, Deeps?
No bets with you until you do the right thing and see to it that I'm squared up.
Under Dirk's wing, Parsons will turn into Dirk 2.0.
"I viewed myself as an up and coming star in this league," Parsons said. "They were the ones that made the offer and look at me like a franchise-max player. That's what I wanted. I want to be a priority.
"I want a bigger role. (Mavericks owner) Mark Cuban and Coach (Rick) Carlisle made that clear to me, that's how they view me and that's what I'll be in Dallas. I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity
