Lol @ Harden and Parsons bringing home a championship. Good one Anyways, Parsons has made an estimated $127M over his career. This man has averaged double digit points exactly 4 seasons in his entire career. The Dallas contract was bad but he absolutely took Memphis to the back of the woodshed.
By the way your account on Twitter is AWESOME! Thanks for dropping by the Mecca and sharing here too!
he was being exploited for slave labor. You notice that now very few teams force their guys to play out those contracts; Tate is a good example. It creates bad blood; agents-players hate it. Morey pushed those things to the limit. This was a situation where it backfired. sure I hated the club antics with Cuban but you just can’t blame Parsons. That Morey’s mistake. And as it turned out, with his injuries and the big money, the mistake wasn’t letting him walk but rather not getting something for him when we had the chance.
Lmao, chandler has secured wealth for his kids and their kids and possibly their kids. You can’t hate him for that, and if 99.9% of people here would have done the same thing.
Agree with all this. He did what he should have done. I didn't love it because I wanted him to stay, but it ended up not being as big a loss as I thought it would be because of the injuries he would later accumulate. I wish him well.
Houston isnt built in a swamp (not most of it) and literally half the metro is in the pine forest, plus a lot of rolling hills in montgomery county. Houston isnt the hill country but it has its own beauty, aside from the people.
Slave labor. A young twenty something year old man getting paid millions to play a game he had always played for free. I admit that my understanding of the English language is poor. I need to get a new dictionary to keep up with what words mean. I'm still using the words "woman" and "recession" in ways that it simply does not mean anymore. Anyone know where I can get the New Millennial Dictionary from? I'm tired of being ignorant.
I'm all for a player getting paid...but he lost me when he said Houston is dirtier than Dallas. Don't talk down on the city/team that gave you the opportunity!
im not sure if he was even being paid a million at that point. Certainly a liberal use of the term “slave labor”, but compared with what he should have been making; hopefully you get the point.
Leaving for a bag is not the issue, it's signing the contract in the club with Cuban and then bad-mouthing Houston is why he is dead to most of us. Yeah, it was that serious as a Houston sports fan, it was like your girl sending you a pic of her giving a blowjob of your worst enemy and I don't even hate the mavericks that much. We dodged a bullet though, so things worked out. I have a feeling he would have come up short big time in the playoffs.
Yeah, I hear ya. He just should have been more patient. The fact that he outperformed his contract was not the Rockets fault.
you want to be the guy who finds Chandler Parsons, not the guy who signs him to a 90 million dollar contract
We had him at a bargain. Daryl made the right move. We had him when he was cheap, productive and healthy. His prime was his first five years.

Houston was built on a swamp. From the article: Houston was founded on a swamp in the 1830s. The city is built low and flat along coastal bayous, and has always struggled with flooding. It was swamp and grasslands - look it is ok to love Houston - I grew up in and around there - but the industry, and flooding, and humidity and mosquitos do not exactly make it a great place to live.....and I am not even talking about the traffic. Houston is a concrete jungle, with pockets of cool - but overall.....4 out of 10, max. DD
Houston might not be the most aesthetically pleasing city, but Dallas is worse in that it has absolutely no character. Unless you're into artificial suburban sprawl connected by highways with nothing in between.
