Pelicans78 Also, as far as improving his game goes, I don't think he'll really be one who can create for himself. He has to pump fake defenders most of the time to get a shot.
^ Yeah don't need that at ude.

He shouldn't be saying things like that while Dirk's corpse is still around. Dirk's corpse >> Parsons.
Dirk is unique and Mark is ing fooling himself to think he'll turn out to be the 2nd coming of Dirk Nowitzki tbh, still it ain't as bad as blowing your full load for Melo though.
Truth bomb. if parsons could create shots for himself the Lockets wouldn't have to let beard nig play ISO each and every round imho. Parsons's contract will probably turn out even tier than Rin's tbh.
I like Parsons, and no doubt he will improve the Mavs, but I do think he's overpaid. Really, the signing was really a high priced game of chicken between Cuban and Morey and Morey blinked. Parsons is just the beneficiary of these egos. I believe Parsons has the potential to be worth near max salary, but only time will tell who got the better of this deal.
Fegan, Parson's agent was the one who wanted the deal structured like that. Not Cuban. I really think Cuban expected them to match.
Dirk let The Cubes walk all over him, Parsons will have no problem.
I agree. I also think Cuban expected them to match. I also think he wanted to screw Houston over by setting the price just high enough to make them pause and ask if he was really worth it, all the time still thinking the Rockets would re-sign to honor their "we will match any offer" declaration. Now that he's on the Mavs, the Mavs brass has to say, "this is the guy we wanted all along, and we got him!" regardless of the high price tag.
the loser for this FA is no other the lance....
wont get paid like parson
will get paid like ariza money or around 8m a year....
his value totally dropped faster then market crashing
& wait till he goes back there, sullen & lookin' for honkey lips Bird to prod & torment.
Parson's is overrated.
Offensively, Parsons is a prototypical collegiate combo-forward, most known at this point for his streaky perimeter shooting. According to Synergy Sports Technology’s Statistics Database, spot-up jumpshots consisted of 35.7% of his offense. His shooting motion looks fairly good at this stage with his feet set, but his stroke loses significant accuracy when rushed or forced to pull up off the dribble. Parsons needs to work quickening the speed of his release, as his somewhat deliberate mechanics often take too long to get off. Parsons has nice touch and solid range on his perimeter shot and looks to be able to develop into a very good shooter in the future should he continue to improve on his consistency.
Elsewhere on the offensive end, Parsons is not nearly as developed. His most glaring weakness at this stage is his ball-handling ability. He dribbles the ball far too high and visibly slows down with the ball in his hands. If he could improve in this area, his offensive game looks as though it would expand significantly. He has shown the ability to get to the basket off of the dribble utilizing his solid first step, quickness, and outstanding touch around the basket, as well as flashes of a mid-range game. That being said, Parsons shows neither skill with any sort of consistency and must show such improvements during this upcoming season if he wants scouts to consider him a potential small forward at the next level. 50% of his attempts from the field currently come from beyond the arc, which tells you a bit about his mentality and polish as a slasher.
Parsons spends most of his time away from the basket, but when he decides to play in the post, he is not incredibly effective. His added bulk should help, but Parsons does not have a very advanced post arsenal outside of using his size and quickness to get around defenders to the hoop. He shows outstanding touch around the basket and does a good job positioning himself for put-backs, but expanding his post-game is another area where Parsons must improve next year, especially considering the fact that he’s one of Florida’s top returning players with any significant size.
Defensively, Parsons isn’t yet anything to write home about, but he looks to have the potential to be a solid defender in the future. Utilizing his long arms and solid lateral quickness, Parsons has the ability to guard collegiate wings. In the awareness department, Parsons has a long way to go. He gives his man too much room on the perimeter and often gives up shots because of his inability to close his man out. In the post, Parsons lacked the strength to efficiently defend his man and it remains to be seen whether or not his off-season work will positively influence his post defense, specifically his lackluster rebounding numbers.

Weren't Rocket fans all over his nuts last season and before?
"Most Rockets Fans"
When Parson's is on, he is very very good from the outside. When he's off, he really sucks it up. He is a streaky shooter and his handles are average. He has improved to where he's a very good player but very streaky. His inside play is meh, he can't get inside and bang but that's not his job. His job is to stand outside, shoot the 3 and drive when the lane is open. He's a very good transitional player. But he's not worth the money that Cuban is paying him.
Should of heard them when they thought Morey was going to match Parson's offer. Did a 180 after they heard he wasn't.
MVParsons, cant wait til he realizes his game came easier having harden and dwight drawing the defense attention
Parsons was not exactly caught off guard when he learned the Rockets had chosen not to match the Mavericks' offer sheet.
"I'm not surprised," Parsons said. "That's up to them. At the end of the day it's a business. They have to do what's best for their future moving forward. It's out of my control. That was on them."
"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."
And Parsons will be earning the kind of money that goes with being a star in the NBA.
"I've worked for this," Parsons said. "Nothing's been ever given to me. People always doubted me. That didn't come easy. There were a lot of ups and downs.
"Just tried to continue to prove people wrong. It's just a great feeling."
LOL He's delusional
sour grapes brah. not every player is fully committed to being a talented role player for life, thats not an at ude issue
Rockets.
Lose Lin, Asik, Parsons and 1st round pick.
Gain Ariza and a 1st.
That's hard to swallow, you know, Cuban golden showering the Rockets this offseason. I would be hating on Parsons at this point as well (sarcasm).
What's so funny, look at Harden's stats before he joined Houston. The same as Parson, who had to play 3rd fiddle as well to WB and Durant. Harden's gets by most people as well by pump faking and then jumping into to draw a foul.
Rockets match, these guys would be singing his praise. He left, now they want him to fail. Natural human reaction.
i like Parsons, and i'm curious to see just how much of a leap he can make in a bigger role. spurfan always speculates what leonard would look like in a more primary role, and i'm similarly interesting in seeing an expanded role for a guy putting up numbers like parsons
Vanity usually proves a catastrophe, be it 6 or, this catastrophic event.
Actually, Harden is overrated to. He has free reign to do whatever he wants in McHales offense while playing zero defense.
Dirk/Ellis should have more/same impact.
