    Dude made 20 mil last year and now is unsigned 7 days into free agency. How bad are his attitude issues!?

    Wow, what a terrible mentality. This is made me do a 180 on considering him for the team. If you replaced that with Melo, or Lou Williams, or Isaiah Thomas it would still read the same.

    Why do people keep regurgitating the meme that Melo was a black hole and that's why he basically got cut? His problem is that he was such a big defensive liability that you couldn't keep him out on the court, and he didn't have the offensive consistency at his age that allowed you to just ignore it because he's putting up 20 a night. He changed his game for us. Relegated himself to being a spot up shooter and occasional post option; he was just too washed.

    Parker has openly admitted he doesn’t give a damn about playing defense. That’s why you won’t see him playing with a contender any time soon.

    This guy has one very unique talent which is perfectly fit for the Rockets.

    He hates to play defense.

    Why does Duke keeping putting out stupid players, I thought it was a school for smart folks. Kyrie and Jabari should start some sort of club together... Duke alum douche bags.

    Sums it up completely. Sounds like Dwert. Never had to work for it. D is 100% attitude and you either have it or you don’t. There are too many hungry guys out there right now that would kill somebody for the min at the end of our bench. Beverly went from Russia to us to $13M a year with the Clippers so contrary to dumbass players do get paid for defense.

    Pass. He's a notoriously low effort and lazy player and is an absolute trash defender.

    Knew he was going to be a bum when he was likened to Melo so much.

    Also he dribbled into long 2s from preseason until his benching.
    No pump fakes. Just shoot it!!

    So true.

    Everyone gets paid for defence
    Bums like Roberson cannot do anything on offence, but they get paid to defend, and they keep getting paid with new contracts.

    Bums who don't defend might get 1 good deal, but 7 days into free agency nobody is even offering them vet min...

    Parker is no lockeroom cancer. He is a great kid actually. But unfortunately he has some autism traits and now we are seeing the results.
    Im certain that many players are having the same thoughts but noone is emotionally stupid enough to say it to the press in his introduction press conference no less where there will be tons of journalists.
    Now he will have this quote follow him for the rest of his carreer

    Fit right in with the standing at half court, slowly walking.

    League minimum? Hmmm... Tilman probably wants Parker to pay more to be on this team.

    The funny thing is, what Beasley gave on offense he more than gave up on defense which is why the Rox dumped him asap.

    I wouldnt mind him on the vet min but a big C is def the priority like Tyson Chandler.
