Parsons was a warrior for us these past two seasons

Parsons' Appreciation thread?

People are mad at him because they love him.

 

No one forced him to sign the cheap 4 year contract. Kudos for him for outplaying that level, but the Rockets not picking up his option so he can get paid early was a very classy move and a show of appreciation for him "being a warrior" for us. He took that appreciation and shat all over it with his actions. We can match him and he can be a Rocket for years, but I'll always know he's a douchebag.

 

he's overpaid now and signing with Cuban makes him a dick

 

I want to thank the OP for starting this thread. You can't blame Chandler for doing what's best for himself and his family. He signed the best offer sheet that was given to him, and now the ball's in Morey's court. If we miss out on all of the major free agents, it's likely that we keep Lin's contract on the books for now, match the Mav's offer for Parsons and try to add to our team via the MLE and the smaller exception. As Clutch and Bima emphasized in the podcast, we will still be adding to a very young 54 win team that still has room to grow.

Some people on this board have no idea how lucky we are to be in this position.

 

Well, if you want to get paid, you have to play and play well. He's been great for the Rox, but he was probably thinkin about the pay check.

 

This. He was an unheralded 2nd round pick (and one most of CF shat on for being a Budinger clone when he was drafted). He was paid fairly and Morey did him a favor by letting him out a year early.

 

Parsons thoughts before a game

"How does my hair look ? what girl am I hanging out with tonight ? Is this too much gel ? How much am I getting paid tonight ? I should start a hair product line! Oh yeah, Bball game tonight, wheres my gel ?"

He's a douche

 

I love Parsons. He's been excellent for this team, but if him signing this deal leads to the Rockets losing out on getting both him AND Bosh... then **** him.

I don't care if he's still on the team next year. If the Rockets are forced to make a decision on Parsons before Bosh agrees to join the team.... then forget Parsons.

 

belongs in the parsons thread...we have enough going already with these talks

 

Still like him though as long he has not put on that Mav jersey. The moment he does all will be forgotten.

 

Folks, right or wrong, won't quickly get over him signing with Dallas/Cuban. Then you go "clubbing" with Cuban and you and your douchebuddy take selfies with Cuban. And throw in there some thought there might have been a wink-wink agreement between Parsons and the Rockets...obviously not.

 

I don't blame him for taking 45 million. I too would take 45 million.

 

Yes, this is the main reason why fans are upset. Just more reasons to hate selfies now

 

If you average it out over 6 years he'll make about $8M a year.

 

How can anyone be mad at Parsons? He raped Cuban. Isn't that what we want as Rockets fans?

 

Reasons i don't blame parsons:

1. Calling morey letting him go a "favor" might be a bit innocent to say...Morey is a ruthless dude, he did it to get the best deal out parsons.

2. Im getting the hint he was lowballed in houston due to what his friend is posting. "pay the man"...ect seems as if theres some tension in those tweets and he is speaking for chandler.

3. like rocket river said...When cuban throws that kind of money at you, he's not expecting to be sitting patiently.

All in all, i saw this coming when parsons starting becoming an attention w****. he wants to be talked about (calling out batum).

hes no kawai (or any of the big 3) or dirk...he wants to be BIG TIME and dallas is going all in on him

 

Exactly, this is how I feel also. He doesn't deserve more money than Harden. He is no longer a fan favorite, he will be an overpaid player who will never live to his contract as a Rocket or Mav.
