    Well I'll just have to get over Morey screwing the pooch on this and hope he'll make it up going forward. We have him to thank for Dwight and Harden. That's a core you can make competitive very quickly. He makes a few great moves/trades and we can be right back in this thing.

    ...but right now, it's the biggest mistake he ever made professionally.

    Parsons value is he's a great ballplayer who has tremendous potential.
    He just happened to be playing for peanuts.
    This will exponentially worse than losing Lowry, Dragic, and maybe any other player in team history.
    Again, I hope I'm wrong.

    Letting Parsons out of his contract early = his bonus for bringing Dwight.

    Look it up, happens all the time around the league, Bill Simmons even talked about Parsons getting his payday early for recruiting Dwight before this offseason.

    4th best defense in the league. People say that crap about GS like it's 2007.

    Maybe against the rest of the league, not against Houston.

    D12 is a nightmare for them.

    Probably true, but now people are massively overrating Ariza just to make them self feel better.

    Dwight is pissed. We all know it. He didn't sign up to go backwards. We're going to have to deal with that now...

    That's all before the Cuban offer stuff to.

    For all we know Dwight is angry at Parsons for making it so hard on the team. This was supposed to be a 'wink wink' deal after all, everyone knew that right? So for all we know Dwight could be disappointed at Parsons just how some OKC players were disappointed that Harden wanted his money.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they let Dwight know before rejecting Parson's offer sheet.

    The fact is Parsons shouldn't even have come to this. All we had to do is pick up his option!

    I don't think Dwight is disappointed at Parsons at all. He was tweeting that Parsons didn't do anything wrong, just doing what was best for him. Plus:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/Davidsh32">@Davidsh32</a> cp isn't gone. And if he did I wouldn't be mad. He did what was best for him.</p>&mdash; Dwight Howard (@DwightHoward) <a href="https://twitter.com/DwightHoward/statuses/487369549646274562">July 10, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>[/URL
