Its a wrap.

Holy cow, no Allen Iverson on that list.

Still rather have Ariza and his contract than Parson and his near max contract.

or Parsons still on his rookie deal

and Losing him has had effects, Houston's offense is looking worse than last year with only 1 play maker.

Over 60% of his FGAs are coming from the 3 point line and he is only shooting 32% from 3 point line. No surprise that he hasn't had a game above 50% from the field.

Leave it to my Knicks to put this streak to rest.

Where are all the clowns claiming he is better than Chandler Parsons? He had an outlier 3PT shooting year last year and clowns were claiming he was a better 3Pt shooter than Parsons.

For their careers Parsons is a 2.7% better three point shooter so lets not get carried away. However, the part you're missing is that Ariza is a far better defender while Parsons is a better creator. It was a win-win for both teams. Ariza is cheaper and a better fit for Houston because all they need from that spot is 3&D which Ariza is better suited for and Parsons fits nicely for Dallas.

Also, lets not forget Ariza's playoff run with the Lakers where he shot something like 50% on threes for the whole post-season en route to a title. He also shot well last year with the Wizard in the playoffs. He seems to turn it on when it matters.

Strictly a 3 and D guy with championship ecperience..can't expect much more...I think he's a good fit in hou..but they need a third scorer bad

They don't "need" a 3rd scorer. The Rockets just need to gel and improve internally. The culture that Ariza brought with him alone makes him a better fit than Parsons.
