    Parsons' sales pitch in 2016:

    "Come to Dallas, Dwight! You'll be joining two other superstars and max-worthy players in me and 38yo Dirk Nowitzki on an expiring contract!"

    He's pretty much putting a bunch of pressure on himself to earn that max contract with his play on the court. That's cool because everyone will just go at him harder now. Bring it on.

    Chandler is absolutely going to recruit Dwight but the fact that they have the same agent will play a bigger role. It's a business he knows that Morey knows that.

    It was very obvious that the Rockets placed great value on Chandler. One of the main reasons they made him a restricted FA was so they would have the option to match any offers. If he needs to create slights in his mind to provide himself motivation so be it. But if he is honestly offended by the way the Rockets treated him in FA then he is an idiot.

    He's also the BEST small forward in the portland series. This guy is a total douche.

    Chandler got pretty good at saying stupid things. Not only did he say he was the best SF in the series, he also made the statement that "we believe we are the better team and DESERVE to move on." What does that even mean we deserve to move on? No one deserves to move on. You have to earn it.

    Morey should care. If certain NBA players don't want to play with Harden, it affects how free agent chases play out for the Rockets.

    Overrated. Harden might not be the friendliest guy to play with because of his ballhogging ways but Kobe was 100x worse. And guys still played with him.

    **** you, Parsons. I am so over you, and to think you were my favorite player on the team. Go back to staring in your mirror.

    And Kobe's ways had something to do with Dwight Howard's decision in 2013. These things factor into free agent's decisions, especially with "max guys" since you cannot offer them extra money under the rules.

    What factors do you think those guys go through to decide where to play?

    Oh yeah... Dwight chose to play with Harden when he was in LA. He never said he would want to play with Kobe.

    That is why he went to Houston, this whole Chandler I am the best recruiter and I am the reason why Dwight landed in H-Town is crap.

    If Dwight indeed chooses to join Old Dirk and Parsons, well we'll have to go other ways and recruit LMA or some other guys.

    It really depends on results now.

    I guess he missed Howard being in the recruiting meeting for Melo.

    The only player who every one wants to play with is Lebron (but not in Cleveland)

    I'm sure there are people who will say Durant doesn't want to play with Harden in 2016, as absurd as that would be.

    People forget Ariza has been a Magic before and Dwight played with him in Orlando.

    So Morey should care about the random tweets of Joe Blow on the net?

    I swear you get dimmer by the day.

    I don't think Dwight is going to follow Parsons all over the NBA. Nothing to worry about.

    If the tweet reflects reality, yes.

    And Lance Zierlein may be some Joe Blow, but he is one Joe Blow who works in sports radio and we have reasons to believe that he does have contact with people in the NBA world.

    There was only one player that Lebron's camp said he didn't want to play with, Chris Paul. Perhaps the Clippers should be looking at offloading CP3 then? .....

    Just like Chris Sheridan? Sometimes these guys are right, but when you take a shotgun approach and make random conjecture you have a greater chance of being right than actual journalism. When its wrong, you can blame it on bad information.
