Parsons Set To Become Free Agent

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

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?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'm sure a lot of people would like to have a 6-9 small forward who is good defensively but also shoots 47% from the field and 38% from three.

I don't think Parson's will ever be defined as a superstar but I think he could average 20+ points per game in the right system.

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.  

 

Sign me up! 

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

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.

i'd love it if we could seriously upgrade the sg position before the draft so we could take BPA and live with it

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

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.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

not worth a max contract

[PantherBrew]

I'd atleast throw my hat into the bidding process.  Especially if our BPA lands us someone like Gordon, Vonleh, or Randle.

 

I am not sure that he isnt just as good or better than Gordan Hayward.  

[Sapper]

I'd definitely consider it. It is fun to have a summer with a ton of options.

[Omega Atrocity]

Add him to the list for sure. Just info for everyone, his max is $15.8 million per year, same as Hayward's.

[YoungPanthers89]

He can score

 

We need buckets

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

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.

[carolina-chuck]

I'd flip if we give him a max offer. Parson is nothing but a role player. We already have plenty of these role players on the team. We need real legitimate talents.

I wouldn't mind Parson ($8mil), but he wouldn't be my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd option.

[carolina-chuck]

Houston is making the right move to decline his fourth yr option. Houston won't get pass the 1st round by having Parson and Lin. They need another star player.
