Blazers to meet with Chandler Parsons

[Pinwheel1]

I would not expect him to sustain these numbers, but this is what he was doing the TWO months before he got hurt.

"He had the best statistical stretch of his five-year career in the two months before his season ended, averaging 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 47.7 percent from 3-point range and proving he could thrive at power forward in addition to small forward."

Crabbe and Bazemore haven't had back to back knee injuries.

lol I'm with ya, man. Tell Neil that.

I have a sinking feeling that we might be going in on his 22 mil max if we're meeting with him at midnight

 

[jlprk]

Why would he opt out to take a contract that's the same size

Because he's a prideful ego-tripper. Remember his comments after the Rockets let him move over to the Mavericks? This guy's personality is bad news and I want no part of him.

And if we sign Parsons immediately, that either signals that we're trying to use him as another chip to get someone like Whiteside to sign, OR he's plan B and we're not getting Whiteside or Howard.

Dame, Hendo, and Hark are all handsome. CJ is cute in a goofy way... Aminu is an ugly mofo.

You're not possibly insinuating that he "has a little African in him", right?

[Scalma]

Aminu has swag so he wins.

 

[TBpup]

That shows me he was being a good sport about it and has a sense of humor. Props.

 

[blue9]

LOL! I dislike him less...

 

[illmatic99]

Sidebar, I remember a while back that Parsons was going to do a summer camp in Portland this summer. Can anyone else recall this?

Wasn't it Dame's camp?

You can literally hear the sad trombone!

 

[Vraiders]

HE WILL BE IN BLACK AND RED TOMORROW !

 

[illmatic99]

Ah found it.



It was during spring break.

Hmm

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Hmm

Yeah I thought that was pretty random at the time. He had to pull out because of his injury.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nice! I like this move!!

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

I suspect we may see several sign and trade deals in the next week! With Crabbe, Lennard and Harkless all being restricted - we may be able to leverage two of those three.

Who's the Center in Sacramento?

Would you take Cousins in a S&T of Crabbe, Lennard and a conditional 1st ?

Plum and Aminu to GS for Bogut and then Neil signs Luol Deng

Chandler at Dame's camp in Portland...very interesting.

Yes of course on Cousins.
GS does not want contracts back for Bogut from what I have heard.

Yes, oh god YES on the ^ Cousins deal!

The ^ entire GS deal... that'd b a HELL NO & NEVER

 

[BigGameDamian]

He looks a bit hunched over like an old man in that picture.

 

[BBert]

So nice you had to say it twice.

I wouldn't mind Parsons, but I'm not sure what that means for Chief. Even more questionable what it means for Crabbe and Harkless. Harkless and Crabbe both out and Parsons in?

Trade bait?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

This day is driving me crazy! I wish it would just end, dammit!

 

[BlazerWookee]

Pat Connaughton sure looks different with short hair...

 

[BBert]

OK i know PA has a private jet BUT how do the Blazers meet with Parsons in LA and meet with Whiteside in NY the same day unless one meeting is late evening or something. Also how can portland target both and there is NO way parsons can be a higher priority the Whiteside.

Simple: Dame and (Blazers Rep) meet with Parsons in LA, while CJ and Olshey meet with Whiteside in NY.

 

[BBert]

Someone explain how this would work with the salary cap?

I think this is another sign that we're going after Howard.

Yeah that was my first thought, since Parsons and Howard are supposedly buds.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is Olshey only interested in players that remind him of his days on The Young and the Restless?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Where have you guys been?

Team usa parsons and lillard two years ago. They became buds and hung out. Parsons got over the shot and they had a laugh about it. Harden acted like a dick the whole time and didnt wanna talk about it.

This is not surprising.

Meanwhile, Paul Allen transports back and forth like a good Vulcan.

Here is the article. Harden wasny being a dick i guess. But parsons and lillard are close friends
