    I know everyone feels the contract is too rich but we know what we'd be getting. Chandler plays his heart out every night.

    The accepted premise is that you build around a star PF or PG, but finding quality, multi-tooled small forwards is hard right now in the league. What are there, like ten right now? They're just as rare as lane-controlling Centers. Bite the bullet and hope to find another backup PF later.

    Yes, move the 22 yo kid who can't play a lick of defense.

    PER?

    **** PER - that is such a made up bull**** compilation of statistics.

    PER is meaningless.

    Houston needs Terrance Jones off the bench. A 7-deep lineup of Howard, Bosh, Parsons, Harden, Beverly, Jones, and Daniels looks pretty good, plus a couple more veteran pieces.

    the answer is NO. Parsons is not worth 15 mil and now we have no Bosh to make a contending run. Save the cap space and use it on a real star at the deadline or next offseason. Keep Jones, his value will increase dramatically next year as he continues to improve.

    We got to settle for this 2-face, miracle 3-pt non-defending, Cuban nut-riding, baseball looking douche now.

    Let him go; don't pay him. Not worth it.

    If we can't trade for a star...which we have nothing left...then we should let Parsons walk and wait.
