    Why not wait and see what kind of level Parsons reaches over the next year?? Nobody expected Parsons to be at the level he is now two years ago and that list of 22 was prob more like 82 before last year..... The moves to be a contender were made. The only thing they need at this point is chemistry and loyalty from the fans and team to let them grow. You don't see San Antonio changing the blueprint and foundation of the team just because there are better players on paper out there..... A team's success sometimes is purely based on that exactly, the TEAM..... You cant put together a championship team, you can merely position the pieces and allow them to become a championship team. With that said, I want to see what this team can do. I want to see them grow. The Rockets put themselves in a position for these guys to come together and grow.

    Why trade a guy who is hungry for a championship and improvement for a bunch of guys on that list that are just simply in it for themselves. Parsons has shown dedication and ability to adapt. You know for a fact he will fit right in with the new look Howard so why even think about trading him? Loyalty can go a long way when it comes to a team. He has been loyal to the Rockets by working hard and making the Rockets better.

    With that said..... This is not NBA 2k13..... Just be happy we have Parsons on this great team.... No reason to trade him..... NONE

    Only players I trade Parsons for are LeBron and Durant. And even then I think twice before making the move. His production is too valuable given his contract. Without Parsons our team would fall apart.

    Rubio does not belong on that list. He is the most overrated point guard in the NBA.

    You would think twice before trading him for LEBRON or DURANT? The only players on that list that I would not accept in a trade for Parsons instantly are Rubio and Hibbert.

    If we're just ignoring fit and just looking at assets then you're missing several bigs

    Horford, griffin, Anthony Davis, Drummond, Greg Monroe, Marc Gasol also John wall. Funny I don't think there's a single player out the last draft I'd trade him for.

    1) Lebron James-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    2) Kevin Durant-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    3) Chris Paul-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    4) Tony Parker-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    5) Ricky Rubio-No. What the heck were you thinking?
    6) Derrick Rose-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    7) Stephen Curry-Yes. He's the perfect fit at Point Guard for the team.
    8) Kyrie Irving-Yes. He's second to Curry in fit for the team, but he does need to work on his defense, which is probably one of the worst for starting Point Guards.
    9) Paul George-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    10) Carmelo Anthony-Yes. He can play Power Forward like he's been doing for the Knicks.
    11) DirkNowitzki-Maybe. On the fence with this one because of his age, the multiple injuries he's accrued, and the inability to run with the team.
    12) Damian Lillard-Yes. He fits better on the team than Lin because of his sharpshooting, but his finishing at the rim and passing skills are worse than Lin's.
    13) LaMarcus Aldridge-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    14) Joakim Noah-Yes. He is getting better at his mid-range game and could coexist with Dwight Howard.
    15) Tim Duncan-Yes. He's old, but he's still a good offensive and defensive threat.
    16) DeMarcus Cousins-No. While there's the youth and potential factor, he's a Center through and through, and we already have the best Center in the league.
    17) Kevin Love-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    18) Russell Westbrook-Yes. Self-explanatory.
    19) Deron Williams--Yes. Self-explanatory.
    20) Rajon Rondo-No. Can't give Dwight Howard any spacing.
    21) Zach Randolph-No. I would if he was younger.
    22) Roy Hibbert-No. We have Dwight Howard.
