Ever since Houston Rockets restricted free agent Chandler Parsons signed with in-state rivals the Dallas Mavericks, there has been some back and forth between south and north Texas. Parsons said he was offended by the way the Rockets handled free agency and their pursuit of a third superstar, a role he thought he filled.

Then James Harden threw this comment out there.

“Dwight (Howard) and I are the cornerstones of the Rockets,” said Harden, via the Phil Star. “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.”

That presumably led to Chris Parsons, Chandler’s brother I assume, tweeting out this calling Harden a pretty powerful name in the process.

Even though that Tweet was deleted, Chris Parsons went on to tweet some stats comparing Harden and Chandler at the same points in their careers.

And ironically, Chandler Parsons might be the voice of reason in both instances tweeting out this:

Of course, Parsons had some comments in-line with what his brother said as well.
