“That’s a pretty ridiculous statement if he meant that,” Parsons told Jay Mohr on FOX Sports Radio. “That’s part of the reason I wanted to go to Dallas, because I’m ready for that next step. I’m ready for a bigger role, and I’m ready for more leadership. If anybody should understand that, it’s James, because he was in the same situation in Oklahoma City and then he got his chance to come to Houston and shine. I’m not real sure what that means.”
The comments Parsons referred to came in the Philippines, where Harden appeared at a charity event.
“Dwight (Howard) and I are the cornerstones of the Rockets,” Harden said. “The rest of the guys are role players or pieces that complete our team. We’ve lost some pieces and added some pieces. I think we’ll be fine next season.”
This is not the first time a member of the Rockets fired a parting shot at Parsons, either. General manager Daryl Morey said the day after declining to match Dallas’ offer that the Rockets “feel strongly that turning down Chandler’s option gives us a better chance to win a championship.”
Parsons later said he was “offended” by Morey’s statement.
