Forbes: Parsons' relentless recruitment game changer for Dwight Howard's arrival in Houston

I was thinking someone should Photoshop demon eyes or flames coming out of his eyes as he tries to entice another victim... lol.

 

Its pitiful that he is getting paid under 1 mil. Even if he gets a career ending injury next season, Les should reward him with a 1 year, 10 mil deal.

 

Wut the? I thought it was a sign from God (all those houstonians in Aspen) that gave Howard the certainty to join the Rockets.

For me, it reads like an article about how Parsons needs to get paid for getting DH here. I imagine it happened this way:

Fegan: I ain't convincing my client to join the Rockets for less money. Where's my money?
Morey: Well, I can't give it to you directly so what do you want?
Fegan: How about having a player you were going to extend anyways sign with me so that I can get the money I'd have gotten had Dwight stayed in LA?
Morey: I have just the guy. He has been outperforming his contract so he keeps bugging me about a raise. Plus he's got a bromance with another player and there's no way Morey would break that up. You know.. 2 birds, one stone. It's the typical Morey move. Wait... Why is Morey talking in 3rd person now?

Later

Parsons: Let me get this. All I have to do is sign with Fegan and pretend I played a key role in getting Howard here so I can get a raise and my new agent gets paid? Sure. Where do I sign?
Morey: Yup. But you gotta wait for me to get an article printed about how important you were to Howard's decision before I can make it look legit.
Parsons: Thanks Morey. I always knew you'd find a way to get me that raise.

So it seems like Parsons is the only reason Dwight wants to sign with the Rockets.

Nice. I like that villian part. We have burnt a lot of bridges over this past season. That would make for a very exciting season. Let's see, that's OKC(playoffs), Dallas(Howard), LA(Howard) and Miami(champs). I love it!!

 

that is so homo erotic

 

No and No.

I think people overlook another Parsons that was recruiting him.

 

Chandler out with John Wall and Larry Sanders tonight. Let the speculation begin.....

Wall
Harden
Parsons
Sanders
Howard

 

Props to Parsons. We might need to keep him around when his basketball playing days are done a long time from now.

 

Probably just friends

 

Clearly we need a buddy road trip movie starring Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard.

 

Parsons has power as a rockets...

he wants lin ... so lin is going no where

 

GATOR Nation rises again to the challenge!!!

 

I think you mean $5m Charlie

 

They're all with the Relativity Sports agency.

 

It appears to me that Parsons' impact is overblown, but the bottom line is that Daryl Morey is exploiting an inefficiency here by authorizing his player-employee to do what he and non-player-employees of the organization to do. Very clever, and I expect the owners to attempt to clamp down on this practice during negotiations for the next collective bargaining agreement.
