    Not at all... Morey doesn't take attitude/personality into account when making a decision... he's purely a numbers man...

    at least Ariza isn't going around saying "I'm the best SF on the team."

    This is how a professional goes about his business. When I get there, I'm gonna work hard with everybody.

    c'mon, Clutch, get over losing Parsons. you yourself wrote that making CP an RFA was a good move to enable us to lock him in for the future. no one could have foreseen that Cuban contract. as the TDS writer said, "Friends don't give friends trade kickers." Cuban and Fegan did that contract in bad faith, and like, in total malice.

    Ballsy love for Morey to give up Parsons and do all these small trades in hopes of setting the team up again for a bigger move down the line. Our bench may yet surprise us again.

    I like that part when he said in WAS he learned how to lead young players who were better than him like Wall and Beal.

    I think he may be able to push Harden to become a more complete player.

    If he could do that, he's worth the $8M....I'd love to see Howard and him get in his face about his defense. Tired of the rep harden gets around the league

    Lol Howard in Harden's face over defense? I'd pay to see that... No literally. 50 in the tip jar if it happens.

    These reporters need to learn how to go on mute when not asking questions. Very difficult to listen to.

    Excellent stuff from Trevor. Stay humble, stay hungry. No individuals above the team.

    RFA can be a good move. FA of any kind for Chandler, before locking in others, is a bad move. I've never said otherwise. Pay attention.

    You couldn't listen to it because there was a little bit of typing in the background?

    How do you function?

    “I thought Chandler did an excellent job when he was here,” Ariza said. “Unfortunately, sometimes, the way things work sometimes, everything doesn’t go as planned. I think we are similar in some instances and we’re different. On the defensive end, I want to pay a little more attention to that. We both help our teams in different ways. He’s a great player. I look at myself as a good player. He moved on and I’m in his place."

    Even Trevor knows he's not better than Parsons.

    Or maybe he just knows how to carry himself as a humble professional and not say out loud if he thinks he can kick parson's butt.

    Do you go around saying who you think you're better than? Ariza gave a very classy answer to a difficult question -- he understands boy-band Parsons was both an important player and also very, very popular here.

    Yeah, we know what happened in the playoffs when one player claimed he was better than the other.
