Not a single F is given. We all know Chandler is big mouthed talker but can't do **** to back up all the garbage he spews. 100% best SF in the series and then goes on to get his clock cleaned by Batum. The only guy who should be feeling sorry is Dirk who is making half of Parsons and will still have to carry his back.
Lol, can't really see how Houston can be mad. Cuban let his emotions get to him and overpaid a "role" player with All-star money.
I think Chandler is being disingenuous here. He and his people shut the Rockets out before free agency started. If his goal was really to get back to Houston, he got manipulated by his people, and he's blind not to recognize that he signed a deal that Cuban admitted was designed for the Rockets not to match. If he wanted to get out of Houston, than he's being disingenuous by implying that him going choosing Dallas is on us and that there's a reason why he should/could have hard feelings.
Stop with this, please. In what way is it "on him"? He has no obligation to stay with us, and the Rockets did not value him as much as Dallas. He owed it to himself to go there -- it was the rational choice. If we planned things out better or anticipated what other teams might offer, he'd still be a Houston Rocket. The only ones we can blame for losing him is ourselves.
As long as he keeps bringing it up in interviews and he keeps implying that the rockets let him down by not matching, I'll keep having something to say about how hes wrong. He choose to sign a great deal for him. But it was HIS choice and he either knew what signing that deal meant or he should have. and I completely disagree with your argument that he would have been a rocket if we planned it out better. Chandler became a RFA when dwight signed with the Rockets. So would the outcome have changed if we knew Cuban was going overvalue him and give him a ridiculous deal? Nope.
Sounds like a slam on Harden iso-ball in the last two minutes. He also made a comment about players in Dallas being coachable. Is that a slam on Howard and Harden as well? Sounds like it. Sounds like he is saying Harden and Howard are not coachable.
for the record, he was always under the impression that the rockets were going to match, so in that sense they did let him down. he wanted to be here as his first choice
He was under no obligation to show loyalty to Houston or its fans. Correct. And Houston fans are under no obligation to show him any loyalty either. He is a mercenary who is clearly for sale to the highest bidder (and signed a contract that was clearly designed to keep Houston from matching frankly). He's Mark Cuban's b**** now. And as a Rockets fan, it is our duty to hate him. It really is that simple. He hates us and wants to beat Red Nation. We hate him, and want him to lose. That's how sports works. Why should this stop? He's a pompous arrogant prick. Is it his fault Cuban paid him too much? Maybe not, but it really doesn't matter. What matters is, he sold out to the enemy. An enemy we clearly hate. An enemy that stole a playoff series because Cuban probably paid off the refs. All we can hope for at this point is that Harden and Howard teach pretty boy a lesson on the court. And we can hope Tyson Chandler and CP25 have back problems. Not serious problems that prevent them from enjoying spending millions of dollars off the court, but just serious enough to prevent them from playing high caliber basketball against the Rockets.
For the record, this is a lie. The contract was designed to keep Houston from matching. So either his people misled him by writing the contract that way, he's lying, or all he cared about was the money. He didn't really care if Houston matched or not. No one let him down. Houston did him a solid letting him out of his cheap rookie contract a year early. Houston didn't let him down.
i guess you didn't get what i was saying. before the process even began, his impression was that the rockets were going match. so he went out and got a deal. now the contract details is where the controversy comes but my point was they let him down in the sense that they didn't match as originally planned. and yes he did care
actually you're wrong. cuban is actually smiling because he got dirk for 3 years and only $25 million. he's getting parsons and dirk for only $23 million a year. that's a steal. try again.
yes there is; by underpaying dirk. this is why you're not an NBA GM. you can't look at one contract. you have to look at your team as a whole.
We had the option to keep him at his contract for another year. We gambled that he wouldn't get more money in free agency than we'd be willing to match. That would be our mistake, wouldn't it?
finally, a non-homer fan that can view the mishandling of chandler parsons by the rockets OBJECTIVELY. thank you for knowing the truth and not having your rockets goggles on. repped.
Again, Chandler unofficially became a RFA when the Rockets got Dwight. So, the real gamble was securing Dwight vs the possibility of parsons getting a Cuban-screw-the-Rockets type deal.
Yup Switch their salaries and nobody would say a word about overpaying. Dirk and Parsons for 23 million is solid.
haha and you aren't either. paying max to a Chandler parsons is overpaid. thats the point. i dont care if dirk decided to take less of a contract. thats his choice. but sending max money to a player like CP, who isn't even a max player much less a star, won't get the results for that money
