Guess who's about to become the 4th-highest paid Rocket

Parsons contract actually came in a little less than reported. He will be under Harden.

 

How sweet it is..Big 4 baby!:grin:

 

Why would he pout? He got all the money he possibly could at the time he got his deal just like the other 3.

 

just another excuse for harden to play as little defense as possible!

 

He literally cannot be paid any more. Why would he pout?

 

If he knew he would be this good, he should have signed for 2 year contract. Too bad, we lock him down cheap and long.

 

You guys are the ones painting him as pouting. I'm sure he's just fine, fans just have to have a reason to complain or call out a player.

 

gotta play defense to get paid, son.

 

I hope the perimeter guys improve defensively once Bosh arrives

 

Actually, Parsons will make slightly less than Harden

well he could've been paid more, but his age limits him to Parsons and Hayward level pay scale

He will get his big one after this contract though

 

In 2 years hardens going to get a bigger contract, and he'll only be 27

 

As a veteran with 6 years of experience or less, Parsons max is: $14,746,000. Bosh has 10+ years, so $20,644,400. He's entitled to up to 105% of his last contract, but that last one was slightly under max, making $20.644m the higher number.

So, it'll be in 2014-15:

Howard - $21,436,271
Bosh - $20,644,400
Parsons - $14,746,000
Harden - $14,693,906

That's $71.5m tied up in 4 players.

 

Exactly. He got the highest amount possible and he will get the highest amount possible come 2018.

 

Harden was a 6th man when he signed, and he will get another contract before he is done.

 

Harden is now an asset.
