Cuban is exactly right. Morey wanted to keep Parsons only if he can later trade Parsons for something else. Cuban is willing to get married to Parsons while Morey just want to bang Parsons and walk away in the morning. Cuban sees something in Parsons that Morey does not. We will see who is right.
So we sign Ariza and Marion for less total salary than Parsons will make next year, and they shut down Parsons in the first round. Congrats Cuban.
He's been nursing a giant hemorrhoid since last summer when the Mavs lost out on Dwight. When you let that sort of bile stew in your stomach for a year, it will be pretty nasty by the time you vomit it out. Honestly, DM talked **** after fleecing the NYK in the McGrady deal, and he engendered some bad feelings in New York. But he learned from his mistakes and he hasn't done it since. He hasn't really talked **** at all as far as I can remember since then. On the other hand, Cuban's been an ass since forever and doesn't seem capable of learning how to carry himself with dignity.
LOL poor obsessed Cuban. Comes off looking like such a hypocritical lying sack of ****. Morey dominates his thoughts and dreams 100%.
I don't buy for one second Cuban signing this ridiculous contract and not anciptating Houston not to match and be effed the next few years
I don't think there is a clear winner at this point. Parsons will have to really elevate his level of play in order to make his contract worth it for the Mavs. Ariza just needs to continue to excel at 3 and D, in order to make his contract worth it for the Rockets. And at the end of the day, Parsons needs to be significantly improve and be significantly better than Ariza for his contract to have been worth matching. I've seen both of these guys play for the Rockets, and I think Trevor Ariza has the chance to be an upgrade over Chandler Parsons because he is a very natural fit offensively and is a great defender.
Cuban has a cult of personality in Dallas, that's who he's appealing too, they'd swallow it hook line and sinker, the i hate morey fan club too.
It is sweet lemons. I think Cuban thought the Rockets were going to match no matter what. I think this all just backfired in his face. I have no animosity towards Parson. He did what he had to.
Memo to Shawn Marion: Two-year deal for Room Exception w/another team: ~$5.6M. Taking $4.8M of Rockets' MLE + vet min in 15-16: ~$6.3M.
