Parsons Set To Become Free Agent


Recommended Posts

The Rockets are preparing to decline the fourth year option on Chandler Parsons making him a restricted free agent.

Houston's goal is to let Parson's go, in the process clearing money so they can sign a third max contract to pair with Howard and Harden.

The Rockets will most likely match any reasonable offer but if the number gets over $10 mil they will most likely let Parson's walk.

I know there are a lot of Parson's fans on here, what do you guys say. Do you throw him a contract?

He would be my ideal signing this off-season. Would come in and fit same role here as he had in Houston, a role we all have seen him have success in. Solid shooter with ability to drive to rim. Good size and athleticism with willingness to play defense.

Houston is going under the impression that if they pick up the option then they won't be able to re-sign Parson's to a long term deal next year because he'd command a bunch of money as an unrestricted free agent next year.

What they don't understand is there are teams out there like the Hornets who may throw up to $15 million at Parson's meaning that the Rockets will have to choose between Parson's or say... Carmelo Anthony.

Houston thinks that they can get Parson's under market value by trying to re-sign him as an RFA rather than a UFA. As we saw last year with Henderson, that's not always the case.

After doing a little math, I believe that the Hornets could sign Parson's for $15 mil and trade for Afflalo (as long as Henderson is included in the deal) and still be under the cap by about $2 million dollars. Not to mention they would still be a substantial amount below the luxury tax.

In my opinion Houston is making a mistake.

Pick up Parson's 4th year option ($960,000) and then sign a max contract like Anthony in the offseason and try to win it all next year and just let Parson's walk the following year. I don't think they will be able to afford Parson's and add another max deal letting him become a restricted free agent.

I think he is the better deep shooter.. But if all things equal Heywards all around game and duability is better. Parson's durability is his biggest weakness but he would be a great fit.

Again outside of 7 guys in the whole league, no one deserves max contracts. It is the world however the Hornets need to play in.

    • he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.  
    • We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
    • He is a diva, even with Baltimore winning, he will cry and pout and ask to be traded. He cares about his numbers and stats for his next contract. Ironically, his best chance to showcase his ability was with us, now he is just an afterthought.
