Also from the article: Have the Rockets informed the players who may or may not be moved this summer?
ATTA BOY PARSONS!!!!. Nobody can resist his charm. Who woulda thought having the sexiest player in the league could potentially lend us to championship contention? oh and he can ball.
It's been a while since I've seen a Rocket with so much hunger... most of the time guys just say the same cliche stuff in interviews over and over but Parsons is really getting after it. Appreciate it.
Parsons is a smart guy since this kills two birds with one stone: if Howard comes, he's one of the big reasons why and then when it's time for an extension, he's going to get PAID because of his newfound friendship with Howard. Don't get me wrong because I don't think Parsons is only looking out for himself but the bond and relationship he formed with Howard is a win-win-win for all involved.
Definitely, not to mention get Howard will make him better. With the attention Dwight gets, it could open up Parson for more 3's or cuts on the opposite side of the basket. Plus the more nationally televised games the Rockets get, the more he gets to build his brand.
This is an interesting statement. It sort of confirms Dwight's interest in coming to Houston, at least somewhat.
Parsons is definitely pimping/leveraging the hell out of his looks to get Dwight. You think Dwight would have bothered with him if Parsons looked like this?
Yeah that quote stuck out to me too... You don't ask multiple questions if you're not at least considering it. Interestingly enough, Houston is also thought to be a very popular city for NBA players for reasons aside from basketball. I'm not 100% sure why but I've read it over and over again from a few different writers including Hollinger and Simmons. And yes I realize Simmons doesn't have a lot of credibility but Hollinger more than makes up for that.
