This makes sick to my stomach:
When asked how Doc Rivers, the coach of the Boston Celtics, knows him so well and long, Rockets forward Chandler Parsons responded with a question of his own. “How does the coach of the Boston Celtics not draft me?” Parsons said. The Rockets picked up Parsons in the second round of the 2011 draft after the Celtics took forward JaJuan Johnson with the 25th pick that season. The Rockets acquired Johnson in the sign-and-trade deal that sent Courtney Lee to Boston, but cut him before the season. “I thought I was going to go to the Celtics, 100 percent,” Parsons said of the draft that season. “That was probably my best workout. I killed it.” Houston Chronicle
So we worked his kid out, he clearly thought we were picking him, then we did not. So we whiffed on Marshon Brooks, whiffed on JuJuan Johnson and now have Courtney Lee to show for the 2011 draft. We could have had Chandler Parsons who would have also allowed us to cut ties with Jeff Green and save 9 million a year and could have kept E'Twaun Moore for cheaper than Courtney Lee. This is why this team is barely .500, Danny and the brain trust have lost it. Can you imagine Chandler Parsons on this team? Chandler Parsons, nearly hung a triple double on us while the Rockets wiped the floor with us? I live in Houston and watch the Rockets all the time. The guy is sick.
We are just failing all over the place these days.
