Sorry kid, it’s just part of the business. Chandler Parsons landed a three-year, $46 million deal with the Mavs, but he’s not happy about how it all went down — and he’s speaking out about it. Check out what he had to say…
Via ESPN:
Parsons told Yahoo! Sports that it bothered him that Houston, which declined its right to match the Dallas Mavericks’ offer and allowed Parsons to go to the Rockets’ Interstate 45 rivals, made it clear the franchise didn’t consider Parsons good enough to be the third-best player on a championship contender.
“Honestly, I was offended by the whole process,” Parsons told Yahoo! Sports on Monday. “They publicly said that they were going out looking for a third star when I thought they had one right in front of them. I guess that’s just how they viewed me as a player. I don’t think I’ve scratched the surface of where I can be as a player and I think I’m ready for that role.
“You can’t knock them for always trying to get better. [Houston general manager] Daryl Morey is very aggressive, is a genius, a great GM and I have nothing but respect for those guys. And they are looking to make their team better. That’s what they were doing. I just thought I could be that guy that could do that.”
