    Right! Harden had way more accolades before he was traded to Houston from OKC. That was a mature response from Ariza as well.

    It is justified and expected.

    Parker was drafted with the 28th pick in the first round

    Your red font does nothing but irritate everyone's eyes

    Parsons' biggest problem last season was not thinking before he spoke.

    So the dude who posted pictures of himself signing a contract with Mark Cuban in a nightclub is lecturing people about public relations?

    I was facepalming the fact that it actually worked against us, in the end, not that he was wrong for saying it.

    Jeremy Lin is one of the classiest guys in the NBA. He's humble and likable.

    It's unfortunate that his fans put a real damper on his time here, but that is how you answer that question. He's never shied away from speaking the truth in interviews, and you have to respect that.

    Parsons has done everything he can to make people here no longer like him. From signing with DALLAS, to the "disrespect" comment, to now. Personally, I'm not at all mad at him for taking the money from whoever was willing to give at him. But he's gone now. And he's talking about my team. So **** him.

    And your red font is ridiculous and immature. :p

    The statement didn't do anything. Morey deciding to chose flexibility over Parsons in the absence of Bosh is why Parsons is a Mav. Remember matching rights?

    Parsons can think that he is Michael Jordan and he still could not have left the Rockets unless some other team made him an offer and the Rockers not matching.

    All these players need to be quiet. Even if it's true, some things are better left unsaid. Parsons, Dwight, Harden; I don't any of them are all that bright.

    The point is Harden had already accomplished more along with being a very high draft pick than Parsons has heading to Dallas. Parsons is not elite at anything and is setting himself up for a fall. Like I said, let your play do the talking. Parsons just needs to STFU, he's not helping himself. Manu and Ginobili never had to consistently toot their own horns and tell people how good they are, they go out and prove it.

    This. All three are just very immature and need to stay away from social media and doing interviews at this point for a while.

    If only Parsons thought before calling himself the best SF in the POR series...

    It was just a small irony in all this, that i found amusing. Nothing more. I think you may need a break, Carl. ;)
