    I'm not so sure about that. Ariza is a step up on the defensive side of the floor. He's the type of stopper you have to have next to a guy like Harden.

    We could have had Parsons for less than a million... and now he's gone... for NOTHING.

    Liked Chandler but he was Ariza for 5 mill more. Makes sense. Would've been a bad, emotional move to match.

    Will our need at the 4 spot please stand up?

    Worst offseason ever.

    Guys this is good news. He's not worth that contract, and we have a cheaper better defender in Ariza

    This offseason is the equivalent of swinging for a Grand Slam and hitting into a triple play

    Well, if all of those players (Howard, Bev, etc) really did try to convince Morey to keep Parsons... then not matching is the dumbest decision Morey could have possibly made.

    We'll be lucky to make the playoffs after this, we strongly downgraded the backup 1 and 5 and strongly downgraded the 3 while making a conference rival stronger.

    I hope this means Morey is working a trade with Asik for a 3star player. It'd suck to wait until next year for FA options.

    I hope we have something else in the works. This offseason has been awful.

    Lol Morey deserves this. You can't put yourself against the entire league and hope to win.

    Matching Parsons would have done little to our flexibility. Les is cheap.

    This isn't gonna go over well.

    But it was probably the best decision for us.

    The trade kicker alone would have made it difficult to trade Parsons even if we found a willing partner (Minny).

    What an awful offseason. I'm disgusted. Morey's got some work to do because he really screwed us this summer.

    If there's not a trade for Love imminent, then I'm extremely disappointed.

    Let's see how Ariza performs when he isn't in a contract season.

    If someone told me this is how the off-season would have went when off-season began I would say you are joking.
