Parsons at the four won't work in the West. Too many good PFs.
Rockets are still pursuing a PF. No idea if it happens but Iwould like Taj Gibson or Millsap.
marion/aminu
It makes no sense for them to just sign Ariza and another PF and then match Parsons... why sign Ariza in the first place?![]()
Without Trevor Ariza, you're light one.
Deng's gonna get paid by Miami, tbh.... plus, the Nyets are going to overpay Pierce, and the Mavs won't let Marion go if the Rox match Parsons....
I'd rather have Marion/Aminu than Scrub 1 and Scrub 2, tbh....
Then where would Parsons/Ariza fit?
Would Ariza be okay with coming off the bench?
Spurs would murder a Houston lineup with Parsons at PF tbh.
I think he knew he could possibly be coming off the bench. I'm sure they told him.
Bosh, dale. Chris muttthaaa in Bosh.. you were right when you told me he's a winner/not in the mold of Howard/Harden..
Don't think they're done yet. I hope they match Parsons just to screw with Cuban.
I don't like signing both Ariza and Parsons, unless you absolutely have to, tbh..
Ariza is a better fit than Parsons, though, he adds a defensive swarming ability that Houston didn't have on their roster, another player to mask Harden..when you add the salaries, it's not even close, 15 mil vs. 8 mil..
McHale's system doesn't allow for peripheral scoring options, too, so Ariza's skills are more likely to translate in the playoffs than Parsons's IMO..
Good move, but it's only notable if they can acquire a good PF..
Then have Marion sign for the minimum![]()
If Marion's signing for the minimum, then it's probably with the Clipps, since he'd be a guaranteed starter here....
Matching Parsons would be dumb at this point tbh. They lucked out getting Ariza at much better value, matching would negate that especially when Parsons at the 4 wouldn't work out West and leaves Howard as their only legit big.
Why the does Houston want to match Parsons at $15 million a season? That's an Isiah Thomas era New York Knicks kind of contract. I thought they were morons for paying Lin, but this would be way worse paying practically max money to a slightly above average starter.
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.
So after this signing they have about 8 or 9 million left. Need to find a PF and shore up the bench.
Why are people saying parson's at the 4? Boris Diaw would destroy him in the post
How about getting a bench. Something that won the Spurs another le. They aren't without Mills, Ginobili, and Diaw.
Would be stupid to match Parson's now. There are much better value players out there.
