The Rockets having his bird rights is a big deal though. Do they lose these rights if they make him an unrestricted free agent? Chandler's contract keeps them so flexible.
That's what I'm worried about too - and SOMEBODY would pay him that regardless if he's deserving of it. IMO he's not - even though I love his game.
So what? if the Rockets roster is seen as good to go why would it matter? Are you suggesting Les is too cheap to pay the luxury?
I agree with Cyberx here. Chandler is going to be looking at Hayward's deal. Morey will probably look at Batum's deal. So yeah, clearly Chandler's contract situation will be key here.
Hmm, I think quite some people were suggesting or at least implying that. The consensus has been: the only untouchables are H&H. Somewhat semi-untouchable is Parsons. Everybody else is expendable.
i know youre "morey" lol...im giving you the green light to trade him but you have to get jeff green back to flip him for deng... get er done!!
By limping around, you mean almost getting you a nightly triple double. Keep in mind he wont be limping around forever. What will he be then? Back to a top 3 point guard in the league?
There are the posts of the trade of Jones and others for Rondo if you look though, but who cares, they are not stupid enough to trade Rondo for Jones and other role players. Once again, Morey are smart enough to not give up Parsons for the injured Rondo, he will do it for K. Love within a minute if there is a chance.
1. Does morey know les is not going to pay him already ? 2. Does he have more value now or next year at deadline as an expiring when teams know he's about to be a free agent ? 3. Who makes us a better playoff team rondo PG or SF parsons ? 4. Both expire 2015 we remain flexible. 5. Would morey rather want parsons bird rights or rondos to pay $10-15mill to & still be able to chase 3rd star? (big 4 ??? ) 6. Parsons is the glue now because bev starts and we need another playmaker besides harden. Will parsons playmaking skills still be needed when you bring in an playoff experience ball dominate TRUE PG ? 7. Will more of a lockdown 3&D guy be needed at the 3 in playoffs ? 8. Parson 40% from 3, How has parsons D been lately, is he going to slow down Durant, Crawford, George, lebron in the playoffs ?
I like how some people think that people in here want to trade Parsons. NO ONE wants to trade Parsons but that is what Ainge wants apparently so why even talk about Terence Jones. Honestly I don't blame Ainge I would go for Parsons too.
It sounds like the rockets are not fully commuted to signing Parsons after next year. I think rondo would have already been a rocket now, if we weren't on a win streak
Les says he will go over the cap for the "right player", and if re-signing Parsons doesn't qualify, nothing ever will. Put up or shut up.
