Gordon Hayward or Chandler Parsons?

[mdalby]

So, Houston is not going to pick up the team option for Chandler Parsons contract making him a restricted free agent.

Both players could be getting offers in the $12-13 million range.

If we were able to sign and keep one of these two players, which would you prefer?

Like Hayward a lot. Would chose Parsons if I were establishing a team from the scratch. Because he has better mental/characteristic traits like confidence and consistency.

But I'd like to stick with Hayward for the right price and give him the chance that Parsons had all along. A clear role on the team that is not being the first option, heavy play making responsibility or the leadership.

can we have both?

Not a Jazz fan so this isn't a rhetorical question.

Wasn't this Gordon's role last year before Jefferson and Millsap were traded?

Why do I get the feeling that this is exactly the type of situation that DL has been waiting for (cap space wise) to make his mark?

Also, I just want it to be known that I'd love to see the Rockets go from a team that is rising up in the standings to a lotto team again.

I would love both too. Let's do it.

What am I missing? Why wouldn't Houston pick up a team option?

Under the table type of a deal I suppose.

I did hear another theory that the Rockets want him in the open market while he is restricted so that they can tie him up. If Parsons goes into the next offseason then he will be an unrestricted FA.

 

[Hotdog]

Nevermind. I see why. He would be unrestricted next year but they can match this year. Weird. I never heard of that.

 

[fishonjazz]

I choose hayward.

I think he is more athletic, more versatile, and i hate parsons no-arch-flat-shot.

Having both would be awesome. I've always liked Parsons game as well.
