When Parsons left the Rockets during the off season, there were many subtle shots fired between James Harden, Dwight Howard, and even involved Chandler’s brother at one point. In a recent interview, Parsons made some interesting comments to suggest that he could truly care less about who the Rockets replaced him with. Hit the jump for details.

Eventually all parties gave up the ghost though things might get stirred up yet again with a recent comment from Chandler Parsons who says he doesn’t keep up on his replacement in Houston, Trevor Ariza.
“I don’t pay any attention to him,” Parsons stated. “Listen, many people replace many people every year in this league. He’s a good, proven player in this league. He’s supposed to play good for them.”
Chandler Parsons also went on to say that he’s happy for the Houston Rockets who’ve started out the season at a sizzling 5-0.
“I’m still a fan of those guys,” Parsons said. “Obviously, I want us to do better. When we play them, I want to beat them. But those are still my friends, and I’m still pulling for coach [Kevin] McHale. I definitely still keep an eye on what they’re doing.”
Apparently he doesn’t keep an eye on what Trevor Ariza is doing though.
There has always been a bit of bad blood between the two franchises but now with the Chandler Parsons situation continuing to brew, it seems as if the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets are emerging as one of the best rivalries in the NBA.
