rockets just signed jeff adrien and some center from overseas
I think he will be a decent player. I am disputing those that said he was the best bench player for the Rockets this playoffs, which is an entirely bogus claim to make off on one good game and completely ting the bed in the first elimination game for Houston.

Lol at the Houston fans that would say Parson is better than or as good Leonard, what do they say now
never heard them say that
It's just me or he thinks he is in the same league as a star like Lebron, Anthony and Bosh?LAS VEGAS – Chandler Parsons was "offended" when the Houston Rockets went searching in free agency for a third star in LeBron James, Chris Bosh or Carmelo Anthony instead of sticking with him.
"They publicly said that they were going out looking for a third star when I thought they had one right in front of them. I guess that's just how they viewed me as a player. I don't think I've scratched the surface of where I can be as a player and I think I'm ready for that role.
Dude really thinks he's a star
i don't think it's a stretch to say Houston got worse, Portland, Memphis, golden state didn't get better, and Dallas improved with chandler and parsons. They could overtake Houston, who FYI was in the top 4 last year
Brah they were a freakin 8 seed, Dirk's defense is historically bad at this point of his career and Chandler returning to '11 form is highly unlikely. Parsons is solid but they are losing both VC and Marion. Theyll be fighting to sneak into the playoffs just like last year.
What hurt the Rockets more than anything is the loss of Asik for nothing but a pick. Now how are we going to defend without that second backup Center or premium Power Forward? That's what hurts.
Not matching hurts the most though. Now Houston will struggle offensively as well.
No it doesn't. There was no reason to match and be capped out with Parsons not a difference maker and still no bench.
it was a tough spot. dallas was overpaying for parsons, and houston made whats probably the right move to let him walk for that amount, but there's no doubt it still hurts them for the time being
they traded asik for a pick, but then packaged a pick to go with Lin. so they basically traded Lin + Asik to move up in the draft (assuming they do better than the Hornets)
They might not even make the playoffs now. The difference between Houston and Dallas is Parsons.
lol no. When it was just Parsons on the team, they never made the playoffs. He is a nice glue guy, but not a difference maker to the point of causing the team to miss the playoffs.
The difference between a 4th seed and not making the playoffs in the West is Chandler Parsons.
Lol no once again. Parsons benefited from playing fastbreak ball, uptempo offense etc where he did not have to face double teams. Let a defense gameplan for him, no amount of pump fakes will work. And his defense was worse than Harden's last year. They got better defensively, they don't have problems scoring points.
They don't have problems scoring points with Parsons in the lineup. He is quite an efficient scorer. Their scoring will be closer to the middle of the pack next year.
delusional.
Just said they signed a center and another pf
The mistake was not trading Parsons for Rondo. Every team uses players as assets, in this case Parsons wasn't used as asset and it blew up. He was not worth matching without Bosh.
lol another Rockets retred in Joey Dorsey and an unproven Euroleague Asset.
Although, this signing isn't bad.
Adrien, in particular, is a steal for the vet min. He played for both Charlotte and Milwaukee, and after arriving with the Bucks, averaged 15.6 points and 11.1 rebounds per 36 minutes, a tremendous rate. (10.9 points and 7.8 boards per game.) He's a tough defender, a monster rebounder, and carries an at ude.
Now Morey needs to get a rotation guard to replace Lin
Why is Rocket fan ignoring the HUGE blunder of not picking up Parson's option for this season? You can make the case that not matching was the "right" choice, but you should have never been in that position in the first place unless you were 100% sure he would resign or you could pull off a S&T. Losing him as an RFA when you could have had him for under $1m for the season, and dangled him as a trade option, is criminal inep ude.
if you weren't planning on matching worst-case-scenario offers anyway there was no point making him an RFA, when you coulda had him on the cheap this year
