Chandler Parsons

[JohnFreeman]

The Houston Rockets plan to decline the fourth-year option on forward Chandler Parsons' contract, freeing him to become a restricted free agent this summer, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The Rockets hold a $960,000 option on the fourth and final year of Parsons' contract for the 2014-'15 season, but want to avoid letting Parsons, 25, become an unrestricted free agent next summer. As a restricted free agent in July, the Rockets can match an offer sheet and retain Parsons on a long-term contract.

The Rockets have until June 30 to formally decline the option.

He'd be better off elsewhere IMO. He's a very talented player and he can't really be used to his potential alongside Harden.

Lol Parsons can't create his shot and is better off ball like he is.

[Rocketswin2013]

Watch a team throw 10-12 mil at him. I doubt Morey would match.

The Lin-Parsons bromance is one of the few things that are likeable about this Rockets squad.

Once they're gone and Asik takes his talents elsewhere, I can only imagine how fast the Rockets will decline.

[SCdac]

Not a bad idea. Let some other team dictate the price, if Rockets like it they like it, if they don't they don't. Seems like mostly an offensive player to me. Would like to see what he could do on more of a half court team, cutting down on the huge amount of three attempts.

That's like 20+ mil of cap space. :kobe:

I'd like him on the Kings if it's no more than 8million a year I would prefer Gordon Hayward but.

[SavageMode]

Rockets making a move for Melo.

[stalkerforlife]

Dude is a BALLER and is only getting better.

DUMB move.

[Cocaine80s]

We'll gladly take him and Asik

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Smart move. They probably have a verbal agreement for him to take less money on average but get paid a year earlier.

Apparently this will help them be able to land a max guy this summer if they can move Lin/Asik AND then match Parsons.

wtf that makes no sense. parons had a 3 m cap hold if rockets didnt decline. now if they match him its at least 10m. They sigificantly decreases their caproom by making this move, unless they plan on sign and trading him.

For the Rockets, there are two distinct advantages to letting Parsons into restricted free agency now. First, Houston is determined to clear the necessary salary cap space this summer to chase a third maximum contract free agent to join Dwight Howard and James Harden, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.


In one scenario, Houston could secure three max-out players

[KDthunderup]

Parsons already 25? Holy sheet.

[roffie]

unless they can find any1 better to fill the sf slot.. they shud really keep him

hes one of the better SFs atm too so...

[T_L_P]

The guy is more interested in being the Bachelor than he is basketball.

I hope nobody offers him a contract. jk
