Would you turn down 46 million for 3 years? I sure as hell wouldn't. It's called a smart financial decision on his part. Get over it already and quit whining.
Yes Chris Paul worth max contract. Chandler Parsons is not like the others. One of these things is not like the others. One of these things is not on the list. ooo oooh its chandler Parsons!!! Not worthy of max dollars. Mark Cuban succeeded in making the Rockets and Mavericks into worse teams. Way to go azzhole. The only way he could hurt the Rockets and punish Dwight for not going to Dallas, overpay for CP25. He didn't care if he had to cut off his nose to spite his face.
Hey I noticed names like Isaiah Thomas, Robin Lopez and DeMar DeRozan on those lists. Do they deserve a max contract as well? If not, the point you're trying to make is null and void.
Had Chris Bosh signed with Houston, all signs pointed to Morey MATCHING Cuban's offer. Morey was open to paying Parsons that much as the FOURTH option. Cuban sees Parsons as an important piece to a championship team. Morey also saw Parsons as an important piece to a championship team, except without Bosh, he no longer believes the team can win it all, thus he wasn't willing to go all-in on a hand he feels he can't win.
This. Parsons's agent is a STRAIGHT UP BOSS! No way he's worth the dough, but he's going to play a kid's game & be set for life. Congrats Chandler. But he's a Mav & it's time to move on.
LOL Ellis averaged .4 less assists per game than Harden!!! And that's with Jose Calderon handling the ball too averaging about 5 assists a game.
Cuban is an idiot who hit the lottery in the dot com boom. Sounds like a scam artist to me. He sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo! for $5.7 billion in Yahoo! stock. What is broadcast.com worth today? He hit the lottery selling a scam worthless company for way more than it is worth, shiester. Reminds me of Chandler Parsons though, selling his talents for way more than they are worth. Maybe they should be on reality tv show, shark tank. Do you think the Clippers owner another billionaire is not an idiot? I don't judge people by bank accounts, sounds kind of shallow way of judging people. Are you from Dallas? I think Dallas people judge based on size of bank account and poofiness of your hair. CP25 will fit right in.
Let's not pretend it's was $46 million or bust. There are many options in between. People take less compensation everyday while balancing work location, career path, team, etc. Should Parsons take $46 million/year to play for the Afghanistan Goat Milkers? If Parsons really wanted to try and win championships as a Rocket, would he have taken $40 million over 3 years without the poison pills? My guess is yes. Parsons was indifferent to being a Rocket, and thus took the money and ran. Of course, that's his prerogative. However, I won't pretend he didn't have a myriad of other choices if he wanted. Many other workers make compensation trade-offs that consider other factors everyday.
I dont think Cuban is too happy after all C’mon people, really? Chill…. The dude was a fan favorite, he performed extraordinarily well in relation to his paycheck, earning 900k/year he had a performance of a 8MM/year player, and it seems that he told the greatest jokes because all his teammates liked him, also he likely supplied the most gigantic array of white chicks for Dwight and Harden to devour, so of course he will be missed, but other than that at his new price tag he is absurdly overrated and hence not worth the effort. Are we currently worse than last year? Yes, but by a very small margin and there is still time, assets and cap to improve until the season starts so please don’t panic. Also I have a theory……. I really don’t think that Cuban wanted Parsons at all at least not at this price. I think he made a horrible gamble in an attempt to hurt us financially and it backed fired because he never expected that he would actually end up keeping this kid. I think that Cuban “knew” that if James left MIA then Bosh was coming to Houston just like everybody else “knew” that, and he “knew” that if that happened we were going to match any offer for Parsons, so he made the offer as unfriendly and financially crippling as possible, twice the players real value, 3 years, trade kicker, player option, etc etc etc but since we were getting Bosh it was a no brainer for us to match Parsons and form a big four, there was nothing he could do to stop it so Cuban at least wanted to make us pay for it, and the cherry on the cake was the video, the pics, and the contract signing at a club, who does that? That was a taunt, he was childishly provoking Morey, playing his ego, forcing him to match up no matter what….. he wasn’t really worried, he assumed we would get Bosh, we would match the crazy Parsons contract and then he would go after a more reasonably priced target like Ariza, Deng or Lance, nice plan…………… but when Bosh said no to us, oh boy! Cuban had a mini heart attack…. He then automatically knew that the certainty he had on us matching was no more, he then knew for a fact that we were not going to match and that horrible overpaid, untradeable negative value contract was his for the next 3 years, I am telling you people, Cuban absolutely hates this….. Honestly we don’t like it because Chandler should have never been a Free agent in the first place, and he is going to play for those idiots, but given the circumstances I feel like Morey had the last laugh on this one, remember two wrongs don’t make a right. PD. Don’t blame the kid, don’t you think he knows what he is worth? Trust me he knows, all the more reason to jump and accept an idiotic offer that’s going to pay you twice as much as you are really worth, and yeah the club thing was low but hell, if somebody writes a 46 million dollar check for you and tells you to smile for the camera, what do you do? That’s right you smile for the f…ing camera!!
