    Well, to be fair, playing with Dwight Howard at the 5 also means playing 41 games with Terrance Jones at the 5.

    He's just saying good things about his new teammates.

    If he TRULY believes that, then he's an idiot.

    No need to hate on this, really.

    He's just being PC and NOT throwing his new teammates under the bus. You don't want to piss off your new teammates by saying your old teammates were better. And you don't want to piss off Dallas fans either, because it'll sound like you miss Houston even though you're playing for Dallas.

    Move along.

    Just Keith Van Horn being Keith Van Horn...

    Edit: Actually, Parsons will likely match the output that KVH had early in his career.

    Keith Van Horn was a better NBA player than Parsons is now. Wow... I wonder if Parsons knows this.

    Parsons is a dud, he is overpaid and the recruiter thing is overblown. Who cares what he thinks, says, or does he's irrelevant.

    Uh huh. Because who wouldn't rather have Wes Matthews running the break alongside you than James Harden? Especially after that Achilles injury. And who wouldn't want DeAndre Jordan who shoots free throws even worse than Dwight Howard and has no postup game whatsoever demanding the ball in the post?

    Can't think of a better SF coming off micro-fracture surgery and on a completely untradeable contract than Parsons.

    This kind of thing would have ruffled my feathers back in the day but its just a good rivalry, I honestly kind of like the verbal sparring. Games are tight too and it looks like that should continue for a while. Bring it Dallas, pack a lunch!

    It is true for Parsons and is not an insult to Harden or Hoaward.

    Parsons wants the ball In his hands, so of course he prefers the less ball dominant teammates. Now whether that Dallas team does anything substantial is another question.
