Rockets ink 3 point specialist Troy Daniels to a 2 year contract

The Houston Rockets are still making moves in free agency today add they re-signed SG/SF Troy Daniels to a 2 year contract. Daniels went undrafted in the 2013 draft and was later signed by the Charlotte Bobcats. After being waived by Charlotte Daniels signed with the Rockets who signed him to there NBDL affiliate the Rio Grande Vipers. He was named to the all star game in the NBDL before being called up to the Rockets for the playoffs. In game 3 oh that series Daniels hit the go ahead 3 with 11 seconds left.

Daniels made the biggest shot in the Rockets short post season. That really can't be argued, and with the loss of Chandler Parsons and the trade of Jeremy Lin the Rockets will need me offense like that out of Daniels this next season.

Rockets sign Trevor Ariza to a 4 year contract

In the midst of the Houston Rockets having to make a decision on whether or not they'll match the 3 year 46 million dollar offer sheet Chandler Parsons signed from the Mavs the team has signed a veteran SF in Trevor Ariza. Ariza who played for the Rockets during the 2010 season is back for another go around. He signed a 4 year 32 million dollar contract. Ariza played in 77 of 82 games last season for the Wizards, he averaged  14 points and 6 rebounds a game. Put that alongside his defensive prowess and the Rockets have themselves a solid signing.

The next question is do the Rockets plan to match the Mavs offer sheet to Chandler Parsons. But regardless of that, the Rockets got a steal with Ariza at the price they're paying.

Parsons signs offer sheet from Mavs

Well I figured someone would offer Chandler Parsons a deal sooner or later seeing that he's restricted free agent. But I didn't think that he'd get a max offer for 3 years from a divisional rival. The Dallas Mavericks have offered Parsons 46 million dollars over 3 years to come to Dallas.

At the end of the day 15 million dollars a year for Parsons is too steep of a price in my opinion. Especially when the Rockets are trying to land Chris Bosh from the Heat. Paying Harden, Dwight, and Bosh max contracts would basically mean any other player the Rockets bring in would be taking some sort of discount. They would've included Parsons and I think he knew that, which is why he's forcing the Rockets hand by signing that offer sheet instead of negotiating with Houston.

For the Rockets this means they'll mute than likely lose Parsons, a gem of a player they snagged in the second round of the draft. The two question for Houston now is... will they match that ridiculous offer sheet. And if he does who's going to be his replacement in Houston.
