    wouldn't LMA's contract expire when we would have to start paying parsons?

    if LMA is available at the trade deadline for Asik and whatever draft pick we can get for Lin, the rockets should do it. I'm pretty sure that they both have two years left on their current contract so they can make the trade and figure it out later..

    Funny how you compare Parsons to Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson.

    For the record, I never said Rockets should trade Parsons. But if a 3rd superstar is available, I don't think Howard or Harden would mind much if their mothers get traded. See what just happened to superstars' buddy Mike Miller and Meta World Peace.

    It doesn't really matter. Fegan will take those stats with and also armed with all of the intangibles that go with it. Plus being a 50/40/80 player transcends per game averages. Add to the fact that Chandler passes the eyeball test. Add to the fact that Chandler is clearly in that group of players and Fegan has an outstanding chance to get CP25 a contract at the going rate for a player of his production.

    and there it is.



    what's flawed is you thinking that bisexual duncan is better than dream.

    Per game averages are per game. Pace stat only matters to nerds who never played the game.

    Per game > pace.

    You think an nba agent and his client is gonna defer his per game averages in a contract negotiation for your moronic pace argument?

    GTFO you fake rocket fan.

    Like Daryl Morey? Trust me, guys like him are looking at pace stats, along with lots more privately collected, unpublished information. That's how they make informed decisions on players, not from glancing at the box scores every night.
