[2014-15] Chandler Parsons as a Dallas Maverick

[Box score watching] 21 points, 8-16, 1-3 3PT, 4-4 FT, 7 reb, 2 ast, 2 TO

 

To add, Jazz have year after year had one of the biggest home-road splits in the NBA. They get a lot of home cooking from the refs

 

Morey really screwed up.

Smh.

 

A lot of those shots were put-back attempts after misses.

 

How many pump fakes?

 

This mavs team is going to score and give up a bajillion points, lol

 

Ariza > Parsons

 

How did Morey screw up again? Parsons isn't someone you pay max money for. It's bad enough Mavs beat writers are trying to justify his contract tonight after one game against the Jazz who were on a b2b.

I don't dislike Parsons but at the end of the day the Rockets made the right decision. Not having depth for the bench doesn't have anything to do with the Parsons situation.

 

I think it's a wash. Parsons slightly more offense, Ariza better defense and 3-point shot. But Ariza is half the cost.

 

Defense wins championships.

 

For those he didnt watch the game most of Parsons' points came after the Jazz were already put away. When Dallas was building the lead Parsons was missing all his shots.

 

I'm in the camp that argues we could have had chandler bulk into a stretch 4, signed ariza and went to war with papa off the bench

 

Please explain how we sign Ariza after re-signing Parsons to the max?

Don't even try to explain because it would be impossible.. well UNLESS you convince Ariza to sign for the Minimum

or you are saying we should have targetted Ariza from the get go- #1

Either way we would absolutely not be able to have Papa coming off the bench with his 4 million plus

 

A big part of me feels this was the way to go as well.

You sign Ariza and then match Parsons and go over the cap. It's the same scenario as with Bosh.

 

My last post on this thread. I really don't care how Parsons, Lin, and Asik do. I wish them well just like I did Scola, Battier, etc. when they left. That is, after the Rockets were eliminated. Many of us have spent umpteen hours criticizing Lin fans for being LOFs and not true fans of the Rockets- so why should we care how Parsons does? Or Asik? You go with who you have. You've got 12 guys wearing a Rockets uniform that deserve your support. If some of you want to track Parsons all year, of course you are more than welcome to. For me, life's too short- it's enough rooting for the guys in red for the next 80+ games.

 

Box score watching in this case paints the wrong picture. He was literally ass until the fourth quarter. He came in after the game was well under wraps; playing garbage time.

Parsons had 8 points in the 4th. If you discount the garbage time he was like 5-13 with only 13 points.... superstar stats right there .

 

Chandler looks like trash now.

WTF even is the 'first come first serve basis' ****?

 

I would say two issues with this.

1. Parsons' history of back issues make bulking up a bad risk.
2. The Rockets would be at around $75mil in salary after those moves and waiving their non-guaranteed contracts, aka no Terry trade. With the hard cap set at $80mil, that means the Rockets would be unable to add any player making over $6-7milish without including one for their own big salary players in Ariza, Papa, Parsons, Harden, and Howard.

I don't disagree that would be a pretty good team. But would this team have a chance against the Clippers, Spurs, or Thunder if they're fully healthy? I have my doubts.
