    As it pertains to Chandler Parsons, I see nothing wrong with this.

    You can call your teammate a lot of things, but role players is not one of them.

    And go to the Mavs he did. Can't be calling out or treating (ex)teammates like this. No class. With all the crap that's happening, many players are reluctant to sign with the Rockets. The culture is poor. You are only good until a better player is found.

    why are grown men so sensitive? The rest of the team are role players....I'm sure the rest of the guys on the team KNOW they are role players too. So he says it, but it's not a nice thing to say?

    If Howard played like that all during the regular season you would have a point... But he didn't, so you don't.

    Harden probably more upset that Parsons went to the club without him.

    It's kind of like Carmelo Anthony's "ridiculous contract" comment about Jeremy Lin: 100% accurate, we just didn't need to hear you say that.

    Interesting to watch both Dwight and James dismiss it as no big loss. I kind of like the attitude that no one on the Rockets thought he was worth that.

    If James Harden grows a pair and starts locking in on defense he and Dwight have the potential to carry us to the Finals

    Speak for yourself, guy. I live in Houston. There isn't a Rockets fan I know that doesn't love Harden.

    What do you think Jordan called the role players? Franchise? Maybe but only in a mocking way

    He was actually notorious for treating them badly and wrecking them in practice and trashing them in both public and private.

    Good, following in the steps of Kobe. Nobody wanted to play with Akeem. I heard a player say it was like dropping the ball into a black hole. You grows up and you grows up. The players that want to kill you are the winners.

    Now play some f$&king D Haren!

    Harden is at his salary floor. Parsons is at his salary ceiling.

    If that's the case, then matching the offer from Dallas might have had interesting locker room implications.
