Yeah, brilliant. Blake deserved it over both LeBron and Durant.
Keep it up, Houston Six Flags Over Jesus.
I think its a good move by the Rockets. IMO he's not a long term championship level player and he'll never be worth 8-10 million/yr. It makes sense to let him shop for offers now. It he doesn't get a great one then you sign him for less and keep him as a role player.
If he does, then you either match it and immediately start shopping him around. Or, let him walk.
I know he's a popular player but this playoffs had to show even the most diehard Rox fans that one dimensional, offense only players don't win championships. You already have Harden and Linn on big deals so why lock up another?

Did they really?
Lots of them were. It was hilarious.
As recently as this February. On that page alone, the Rockets are better than the Spurs, Parsons is way better than Leonard who is Tayshaun Prince pt 2, and Chandler is a good defender.

Since when is Griffin a SG or SF? He should be in there instead of Noah, genius

Durant and LeBron are the forwards. Noah is the center.
There is a guy named DeAndre Jordan that starts at center for the Clippers. Maybe you have heard of him. He went to college in Texas somewhere. I think a school in a small sliver of East Texas.
Meh, Griffin and Noah play the same position. IDGAF about technicalities. He should be there instead of Noah
And keep it up with the cry/laugh face. you are on ****ing FIRE man! You would fit like a glove on Old Rivalries

Noah pretty clearly plays center next to Boozer.
You pretty clearly have no clue what you are talking about.
I still think parsons is better than Kawhi. Parsons is an average defender. Remember, he shut down Durant twice and Kobe once last season. He's better offensively and our team looked like **** every time he wasn't playing this year.
And Summit, Blake didn't get robbed. See the spurs fans comments here as to why. The only marginally intelligent thing they've said on here.

But I will admit parsons' playoff performances make me think about it and doubt my beliefs.

One of the best gifs ever.
The thing about Parsons is that like Mag said, he is so important to this team. He makes players like Terrence Jones and D-Mo better with his passing/play making ability. Some things don't show up in the stat sheet, but Parsons is worth 8-10 million a year (IMO of course)
As far as Kawaii goes, fantastic player with a bright future. Seems to be getting better on top of it. Thank god for him that he didn't end up in Indy and got to learn from Pop.

Umm, Leonard is pretty important to the Spurs.
Plus this is the reaction LeBron gives when Leonard checks into the game.

Spurs don't get to the finals this year or have the best record in the league without Kawhi.
That is the best GIF ever?
The Rockets offseason thread has become another Spurs circle jerk thread. Worse than Tech fans.

Never said Leonard wasn't important. Just stating that Chandler is so important to this team, meaning the Rockets.
Just stare into Leonard's smiling face in that GIF....and know he is better than you.

Good article about what and why Morey is letting Parsons become a RFA.

Wow that Rockets thread that Ulrich linked is unbelievable. Just reading one page I see things like this:
Token: by the way, are there still morons who think kwahi leonard is better than chandler parsons?
aggie1906: Chandler is better. Plain and simple.
george07: You may also have noticed that the rockets are 3-0 against your team. Good luck getting out of the first round this year when you can't even beat a good team. What's that record against top teams? 1-12? But yeah, the spurs are better, keep telling yourself that.
george07: your mighty spurs will be looking up at the rockets in the standings within 2 weeks.
george07: He's only acting this way because he knows it's over for the spurs. 3-0 *****

And get back to the offseason moves talk. Those quotes are too good to pass up.
Carry on.

And that is a good article. Zach Lowe is great. His podcast with Van Gundy that he posted today is a good listen.

Can we get back to discussing the Rockets offseason moves? WGAS about the Lakers?
I'm curious what kind of offer Parsons will get, because for a team to get him, they have to believe it will have to be around $11 mil/year for 4 years, don't they?
At what point do the Rockets not match it?

Sounds like DH might be moving to Huntsville.
