Gordon Hayward doesn't.

Parsons was paid what the market established he should be paid.

Also, there's no way that the Rocket's let Parsons walk if Bosh signs with them. It would make zero sense.

So where do the Rockets finish this year in your opinion?

6th in the West. Another 1st round bounce. God forbid Howard/Harden miss any time, or you might miss the playoffs entirely. BTW, I don't blame Morey for trying. For the longest time, it appeared he had the Bosh/Parsons combo.

You are quite the wishful thinker, aren't you?

Okay and they didn't sign Bosh. You think they should have just thrown a max deal at a third option that prevents them from making any other moves in the next few years?

Because he sees the regression in Houston this offseason? I don't think you'll find one person who doesn't own a Rockettes jersey to argue that they didn't regress this offseason.

No, because he wants Rocketts ( ) fans to think it's the end of the world.

I'm just curious, outside of Parsons where does this team regress?

They improved their defense on the wing. If they signed Parsons the same Pellies fans would be saying well they didn't improve on defense and wasted $15 mil

Thunderdome thread so we can have actual basketball talk on here?

Asik - he sucked when he was on the Rockets but will be really good now. That's what I read on PT anyway, it just took a few months to sort it all out.

A year ago I would have considered Asik a big loss, but definitely not after last season

I'm excited to see Canaan and Johnson step up. Do you think they move D Mo? It seems like he's becoming the Jared Cosart of the Rockets locker room (always bitching about something)

So you're argument isn't that the Rockets actually improved. It's that the Pelicans fans wouldn't be able to see improvement if it smacked them in the face. Pretty hollow.

So why do they get worse by 3 games? Is their offense worse? Is their defense worse? Or both?

What? I don't have an argument. My observation is that you are greatly exaggerating the demise of the Rockets simply because you don't like them. Not just you, other tards. You haven't heard me say the off season was a home run, but don't confuse the letdown of what might have been with big step back.
