    houston had the option to keep him at around a milion and then leave him FA, so they would have ariza AND parsons. Instead they lost him.
    Um no. They would have never gone after Ariza if Parsons was there.

    They would not have needed to when they had more pressing needs at PF and PG. Stop being dumb.

    so you're saying that having parsons at 1M and Ariza is worse than having just Ariza, because they had other issues. I see, it makes sense . A team needs the brain to actually know before who can come and who just won't, Bosh was too much of a risk and you guys gambled. Period.

    Bosh was worth the risk. And Ariza would not come to sit on the bench.

    They could have made bids to Bledsoe, Lowry instead of chasing Bosh and Melo. Instead, all the Rockets did this offseason was lose Lin, Asik, and Parsons for Ariza basically.

    If they were smart, Morey would have picked up the option, and focused on getting a much needed PG this year. They could have always sign and traded Parsons next year. Now, the Rockets have zero trading chips at this point and very little room to make a big splash next year.

    Rockets are going to take a step backwards this year for sure.

    They are making a bid for Bledsoe anyway.

    Ariza is a far better fit than Parsons with Harden and dwert, but if they were serious about ring chasing, they should have matched, or better just picked up his option.. They blew it, period.
    I think they went with Ariza ,in large part, because he was cheaper (Similar to the Lakers replacing Ariza with Artest) They still have about $10 million in cap. Keeping Parsons and signing Ariza doesn't make a ton of since. They'd be paying about $23 million per seasons over the next 3 seasons for 2 SFs.

    Parsons isn't even better than Batum. He can't create, and playing with two other players who attract double teams, Parsons still couldn't drive past his defender without a pump fake. He benefitted from running the floor for easy layups, and catch and shoot threes. While he is a good passer, he is 6'10 and can't average 6 rebounds a game and had a worse year on defense than Harden. Ariza is a better value, with the same PER.

    Be honest for a change, john. Parsons was your best shooter from mid-range and deep. Young, clean cut with no at ude. He won't be an all-star, but an all around solid player. The Mavs overpaid for him, but this is Cubans way of cleaning up his mess from ruining their chance of repeating. You guys had the tiest summer by far.

    No and he did have an at ude. His shots from 3 were usually wide open due to Harden and Howard, that is indisputable as Parsons was at 37% 3pt shooting, Beverley at 36%, even Jeremy Lin shot 35% from 3. Those are wide open shots due to Harden and Howard being doubled.

    You guys absolutely hated Ariza. And I'm the one that warned you about how overrated he was. Parsons was a good fit in Houston and will be a better fit in Dallas. Beverly is a scrub and we now have Lin, which leaves you holding the bag. happens, man... no need in denying it.

    Parsons and Harden on the perimeter defensively was not going to cut it. That is why Portland kicked their asses, and for most of the regular season meetings too. And yes, everyone hated Ariza because he was forced to be the number one option. Now, he is just as good of a fit accepts his role, being better defensively, better rebounding. Parsons wanted a bigger role and that just was not going to happen for a dude who can only score on open looks.

    Ariza is going to disappoint you. He was let go by Morey for a reason lmao and has been a journeyman since. The fact the Wizards didn't even offer him good money to stay despite having a career year is evidence. He's the type of player that always goes balls out on contract years. So are you going to pretend you weren't wishing the Rockets match Parsons' ?


    Parsons was a better fit. He could give you offense unlike Ariza. Plus his defense has been suspect since, dude was relying on reputation obviously.

    Morey making another big mistake releasing a better player for "value". This is Courtney Lee Part II

    Ariza is no lock down defender. He was massively overrated in La La land... its what happens to role players in LA. We overrate the out of our role players.

    Yeah, he could give you offense off of wide open looks or cuts to the basket. Examples...

    Here, Parsons waits until his defender's attention is on the ball-handler coming off the screen and then makes a looping baseline cut for the alley-oop.


    Here, Wide open.



    Here, Wide open




    . To create for himself , he MUST pump fake.
