What, exactly, did you think sports were all about? People enjoy booing. Have to say I like the no applause, no booing, no nothing idea, but good luck convincing a whole crowd to go meta. LOL.
Guys, we are getting worked up over a role player. I know Parsons left us in a horrible way but how lame would it make us look if we booed a role player? If anything it would inflate Parsons' head even more since getting booed by your past team is usually done to stars (CLE to Heat LeBron, ORL to Lakers Dwight, ORL to Rockets McGrady). Certainly Parsons isn't worth the boos and the signs. Do we want Parson to grow even more of an ego? Actually, boo away
As soon as tickets become available im getting tickets to the Mavs and Lakers. I want to see parsons and Kobe and Lin lose to us.
DOn't BOO Parsons He is not that important anyway. booing him would just inflate his already inflated ego Just show indifference or apathy.
This is so stupid. Parson got paid cuz he deserved it. It's not his fault that the Rockets didn't match or decided to make him a restricted free agent in the first place. If you want to boo anyone, search for Morey.
I swear if I hear a bunch of fangirls screaming for him I'm gonna be pissed. Gabe & I are gonna go HAM on Parsons.
What's stupid to the point of being frustrating is that a bunch of people aren't reading. For the last time, and then I'll quit posting it: Nobody is mad that he got paid. Good for him for getting 2x what he's worth. It's the American dream. Some long-time fans are mad that he handled this transition like a millennial douchebag. That's it, period. He's "offended" by the Rockets doing exactly what Dallas did (offer Melo), he's a "star", he plays now for the "best coach", and on and on. Barf. He benefitted massively from our system and now he plays for the 2nd-best coach... in Texas. The first thing a classy player or employee does is thank their last employer for the amazing opportunity. Not take clubbing photos with a rival company owner and tweet HeLLLLLOOO new company! He's a self-obsessed jerk; a lot of people didn't know that, so it's a bit of a shock. Of course we would all take the money. Nobody on Earth is questioning that (well, except Dirk). A bunch of us (maybe not you) would have a lot more class than this airhead guy. Okay, that's my last bit on the dude; this all belongs in the dish. He's not worth our max money, and he's not worth booing either.
You guys are strange. MOREY screwed up... if anything boo him. Parsons was a free agent and a team offered him the max. End of discussion. I live in New York but I'd applaud Chandler if I were at the game.
The people defending him don't seem to understand that the problem isn't that he took the contract. Its that he acted like a dick during the entire process, from partying with Cuban to running his mouth about feeling disrespected. He acted like a drunken poor white trash Florida redneck who just won the lottery, which I guess is kinda what he is.
I wont boo because he signed elsewhere. Like others have said we had our chance. I don't blame him for signing for a 40+ million over the span of 3 years which is overpaying him. He's good but not that good at least not yet. I don't think he showed up in the playoffs til game 3. I will boo Bosh and Melo though. They already have lots of millions but they decided to stay with their trashy teams for more money.
