Patrick Beverley and Chandler Parsons once sat side-by-side as teammates…
What are they now? Are they friends? Enemies? Or, to borrow a teenage colloquialism, frenemies?
One might consider that a valid question considering the tweet that Houston Rockets guard Patrick Beverley sent his former teammate Chandler Parsons.
@ChandlerParsons r u excited to play us or scared???
— Patrick Beverley (@patbev21) September 4, 2014
Parsons left the Rockets as a restricted free agent over the summer after Houston general manager Daryl Morey decided not to match the Dallas Mavericks’ offer sheet for the third-year forward from the University of Florida.
Though the two were teammates for two seasons, Parsons asserted that he is anything but scared in his response.
“@patbev21: @ChandlerParsons r u excited to play us or scared???” U know me, so u know that answer. #Flexcam

Flexcam … as in, he is flexing on the Rockets.
Parsons, who will be playing his fourth season alongside Dirk Nowitzki, Monta Ellis and Tyson Chandler, will get his first shot to prove his mettle to his former team when the two in-state rivals face each other October 7 in their preseason opener. For those that don’t give any credence to the preseason, their first regular season matchup will be in Houston on November 22.
With four regular season games between the two Southwest Division foes, the 6-9 forward will have ample opportunity to make GM Morey regret letting him walk away.
