Can someone explain to me Houston's thought process in denying Parson's team option for next season?


Houston owners aren't cheap and didn't mind paying him more money this year because they would be allowed to match any offer despite their salary cap situation. So they were betting on signing a max player this offseason to fill the 4 spot and then signing parsons. This would have kept their 4 best players on the team for multiple years. If they would have optioned parsons they would be screwed next year. They wouldn't be able to sign parsons and wouldn't have had any money left to pick up a decent FA. Other than being out some money this year, they're in the same spot either way.

The NBA market is always nuts so Morey can take blame for not seeing that coming

Why? Andersen is a solid backup center, especially for a contender

Well I guess i'm not surprised teams want him. I read the tweet as if birdman is about to get paid a good bit

I'll be surprised if he gets paid like he expects. Ill reserve judgment until contract details come out once he signs

He was due less than 1 mil next year and now they are about to drop 15 mil per for him. I understand that he is a restricted free agent but I think it would be better to keep him at a bargain and risk trying to sign him as an unrestricted free agent after the seadon.


Houston did him a solid by getting him his money early, then Cuban fricked them by offering him more than Houston was expecting to pay. (To be fair it was fair market value but I doubt Houstom expected the market to be so high)

A great pickup for anybody. He may be weird, but the dude can ball.

What is their pitch..."Do you want to get your salad tossed in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs alongside Dwight 'will never win a title" Howard?"

That would be a solid pickup. Guess Phoenix really intends to keep all 3 of their guards
