Under what circumstances would you be willing to trade Chandler Parsons?

exactly.

 

If he was the key to getting another top 15 player, I would trade him.

 

seeing his improvement over a years time....he can be an all star very soon....dont see why we should lose that.

 

Some of you guys are so out of touch with reality. My goodness.

 

Its Parson's contract that allows us to go after Dwight and possibly one more star this off-season.

That, and his excellent play makes Houston a possible contender with a couple more stars. It's very attractive for players to want to come here and play in a young exciting team that is contending.

 

we have to get something really really good in return. its not often u get starter quality player that doesnt even make 1m

 

I think he just fits perfectly for Houston for what we got going on right now.

If anything a top 15 player or high potential guy. (Love,Cousins,Aldridge,Drummond)

 

If we get Dwight, packaging Asik + Parsons for a Love makes some sense.

 

k love

 

and boogie

 

I think it depends on how much his next contract is going to be. I have no idea when he can/will negotiate but not allowing teams to offer crazy money should the priority.

Better question, how much is his market value and Rockets value?

 

Players I would consider swapping Parsons out for:

Lebron/Durant (duh)
Melo
Paul George
Batum
Deng
Gallinari

That's it. And I'm not even saying all those players are better than Parsons, although the top 4 certainly are. But Batum/Deng/Gallo are at least around the same level as him.

 

If we absolutely had to throw him in to get an All Star who is not over the hill, I would be ok with that. For example I would happily send Lin, Parsons and Robinson to the Clippers for Chris Paul.

On the other hand, I would not include him in a trade for Josh Smith.

The thing is he's the perfect type of contract to slap onto a bad contract to get rid of both of them. Unfortunately, we don't have any bad contracts.

 

Nah Dawwwwg! Rocket for LIFE!!!

 

Lmaoooo. Chandler is a great player but the homerism here is ridiculous. I would include him in a package to either upgrade our pg or pf spot. For example a Kevin love or lamarcus Aldridge type deal. There are only a handful of sfs that are marginally better than him so for his contract there is no point to trade him

 

If he went bald? For the ladies, that is

 

Dang, dude is gonna get paiiiid when his contract is up.

 

That's what I thought too. And I read somewhere on these forums I think that said he could only get about 10 million a year or something because of the NBA pay scale?!!

Does anyone know about this?

 

What? So second rounders can't get paid (although 10 mil/year is more than many here will make in their lifetime 3 times over)?

I remember Arenas getting a max and he wasn't even drafted. But that's under the old CBA.

 

I found it at Larry's blog (of course)...

Looks like around $13 million max for Parsons in his 5th year in the NBA depending on salary cap.
