Rockets sign Chandler Parsons - 4 years, $3.7 million

Paying the equivalent of roughly 2/3 of Thabeet's one-year contract for a starting player's entire 4-year contract? If that's not a steal, I don't know what is.

I like both of those players. But Parsons shows more mental toughness than Hayward, which imo makes up for the lesser athleticism.

 

Thabeet is. He is stealing money from the Rockets.

 

Moneyball

 

Morey is the man. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a pirate.

 

Now we know why Thabeet is happily clapping his hands all the while warming the pine: he is laughing all the way to the bank!

 

Parson is partying harder than budinger at this moment

 

Morey is a pirate.

 

Winner!

On a side note, with Lowry's "best-non-rookie" contract of 5.75 mil
and Chandler's <~$1 mil/yr deal we have the potential of 2 quality starters for less than $7 million per year.

That means for the next 3 years, we can spend the extra cap space for true stars who are deserving of max contracts.

Pirate indeed.
