Houston Rockets will match Chandler Parsons offer sheet if they land Chris Bosh
By Jack Crosby
The Houston Rockets seem very determined not to walk away from the free agency period empty-handed, and there is a chance they could come out winners in the whole process.
According to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle, should the Rockets be able to land Chris Bosh, then they will match the offer sheet that Chandler Parsons signed with the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday morning, giving them a solid leg up in the Western Conference race.
If Rockets get Bosh and can do both in time, they'd match Parsons' offer sheet, per source. If don't get Bosh, tough, close call on Parsons.

Parsons signed that offer sheet with the Mavericks just minutes after he was allowed to do so on Thursday, and it is for three years and is worth $46 million.

So once again, everything lies in the hands of LeBron James. This is because the Rockets will more than likely only get Bosh to accept the offer if LeBron returns to the Cleveland Cavaliers and breaks up the Big Three of the Miami Heat.
The Rockets fans certainly do not want to see Parsons leave, especially for the Mavericks, so it’s pretty safe to say that they may now be the biggest supporters of LeBron heading back to Cleveland, next to the Cleveland fans themselves.
Houston, though, only has three days to match the offer.
