Chandler Parsons: No Disrespect Intended

Chandler Parsons sought to clarify Tuesday his comments of a day earlier in which he said the Houston Rockets had offended him, stopping short of an apology while expressing gratitude toward the team that brought him to the NBA in the 2011 draft.

“I didn’t mean to sound ungrateful or disrespectful in any way,” Parsons said of his comments to Yahoo! Sports. “I just simply meant that I was offended that they didn’t view me as a core piece of their team going forward and they didn’t view me as a third star that could win championships there. That was what I meant by offended.

“I hope I didn’t hurt anybody’s feelings and I hope there’s no hard feelings there, because I had a great time in Houston.
