This. They're messing around when they already have the guy they need.
Just remember it was your old grandpa Dale who said it first. Me.

No they don't. Signing Parson would put them out of contention to make a play for Durant in 2016. You don't find it strange they courted SF right after Parson signed with Dallas. Why not Bledsoe at PG. Big upgrade over Beverly and could matchup well against WB, Parker and such.
I wouldn't be surprised if Morey let Parson walk. He wasnt anticipating that ridiculous contract Cuban gave him.
Its all semantics,,,,as long as Harden is on the team,,,Rockets wont win . Parsons or no Parsons,,,Ariza or no Ariza,,,Bosh or no Bosh,,,.
The Rockets have no the slightest chance of pulling Durant.
wait for Durant? Do you not see how that was what was wrong with the rocket's mentality this time around? You don't put all your eggs in the basket of "x" player and his decisions. Too many variables I can't even begin to explain. So here is the bottom line, this is why you match. The rockets fail once again, Howard has the option to opt out. He will be gone. You take the best shot you have if you're in a win now mode, meaning the best player available. We know how important Parsons is to the team and letting him walk for nothing would be a giant step backwards. Let Les worry about the $$, god knows how many times he's suckered out of the LT and been cheap.
jag and Thread hit the nail on the head.
exactly. It would be pure comedy for the rockets go down that route.
so morey has been billed as this stat expert but his entire strategy is just to pursue max free agents every offseason

Yep, that is why I think he is reluctant to to give Parson the Max right now. He would have no wiggle room for 3 years. I don't think he could stand it, just tied to exceptions for 3 straight years.so morey has been billed as this stat expert but his entire strategy is just to pursue max free agents every offseason
We ed if Houston doesn't match.
Wow, I am agreeing with Dale! It's an easy call to match. The Rockets are capped out with, or without Parsons. Parsons is one of the few players outside of Harden than can create off the dribble. Not many 6'9" guys can. Anyway, getting Ariza at this salary is reasonable. Parsons and Harden played too many minutes last year and the Rockets were running out scrubs like Casspi, Garcia and Hamilton to spell them. Ariza immediately solves that issue. He's a pretty good 3 and D wing which was another team need. Not a homerun signing, but a solid single.
Of course Houston matches, it doesn't handcuff them in any way and it is a tradeable asset. The only reason to not match would be a cheap owner. And while Les Alexander may be a Jew, he's worth northward of $2b and about to follow Jerry to the grave.
Eh, even if you match you are practically forced to start looking for a place to dump him, parsons is nowhere near worth that and its very difficult to visualize him getting there. I understand rocket fan not wanting to hurt the team short term, but on the other hand you have to punish Cuban for ing with you and you know that long term the rockets won't be able to have a great team because too much money is tied to a player that can't justify his salary. The more I think about it the more id let him walk, Cuban and parsons both, but its probably best to match and trade later.
This. Ariza is a bum who basically played his ass off last year for this contract. Haven't the Rockets learned from last time around?
Parsons is gonna get raped at the 4.
the best thing is that rockets didn't have to make CP RFA this year. this is stupidity maxx that's giving them a very hard lesson
Then they would have lost him for nothing as an unrestricted FA next year
This. They will be capped out anyway next year. Gotta keep SOME continuity within the team.
Tayshaun Prince to the Clippers for Matt Barnes and a TPE.
Looks like it's another season of those ing gots Barnes and Dudley at the 3 and another second-round exit for us... !
Parsons can't be traded the first year i believe. There is a trade-kicker in the contract which makes him hard to trade later on...
If they match, Mavs can focus on Stephenson/Marion/Aminu. 2 out of the 3.
Parson salary goes north of 17mil if he is traded. Cuban, from what I heard, put quite a few poison pills in the contract. Kinda of like what Morey did with Lin and Asik contracts. It handcuffs them. Parson is a pretty bad defender. Nice offensive game, bad defense.
Cuban Morey w this contract and Morey let him do it by not picking up Parsons this year. And no rockets would not have lost Parson next year. They would have been able to use him in a sign and trade. now he will be tied to an even bigger contract if traded and teams won't want his fat ass contract all the other possible stipulation Cuban put into it just to w Morey. This was payback for Howard and that text Morey sent to Cuban last year.
Parsons can't be traded to Dallas in his first year. He can be traded, just not until December 15th.
Not if that is what the contract says. Cuban basically put all the he wanted to in the contract to make it the least desirable for Houston. That is the danger of restricting a player, you have to play by the offering teams rule at that point.
Morey got blindsided by Cuban. If he had known Cuban would have given him this contract, there is no way he would have not picked up Parsons this year.
I believe in the contract it says that it's the first year and after that the trade kicker sets in...
