Blazers to meet with Chandler Parsons

[OSUBlazerfan]

Funny how you had to include Nic's worst season to make your point. How about we just compare last season, and we include stats that measure defense?

No problem, i went back two seasons to get a bigger data set.

2015-16

Parsons 14/41%/16
Batum 15/35%/15

The superior shooter

 

[Cippy91]

I am all in on Parsons IF his knee actually is completely fine.

 

[Natebishop3]

Rasta is going to have total meldown 2.0 if we sign Parsons. It's going to be sweet.

If we changed his name to Parsonovic he would be all over this.

 

[Natebishop3]

Oh man, I've run that joke on Rasta so many times.... you probably triggered him so hard.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The funny thing is, Parsons does have kind of a Euro game.

Heres a stat for you

2015-16 season

Parsons PER 16.2
Batum PER 15.6

He got really pissed the last time i did that to him

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Wouldn't that be dope.

He might have some inside shit on Dallas lockerroom.

 

[Denny Crane]

Is it really worth gutting the roster to sign a couple of guys who likely don't make us contenders? I mean, we were solid because of depth. Losing that and chemistry may not be ideal. Neither Parsons nor Whiteside made their teams contenders.

$24M can be had without gutting the team. Sign one guy and use the rest, if any, to add even more depth. Or sign two guys for the $24M, or three.

It wouldn't be a horrible thing to add Whiteside or Parsons while keeping Crabbe and Leonard and Mo and the rest.

Maybe Olshey knows that those guys are going to get silly contract offers and he's not planning on matching?

 

[Pinwheel1]

How the fuck is plan A a guy with microfracture and meniscus surgeries to his name in the last two years? Does anyone in the Blazer office know anything about our history? Seriously, WTF

If Durant was interested in us would we say no because of our history with foot surgeries? He had 3 of them in one year. I understand the concern, and I think the Blazers have to do their due diligence and look at it closely, but they just can't eliminate him because we have been jinxed in the past.

As for his 2015-2016 season.......I am ok with that Parson Chandler. Those two months before he got hurt were all star level.

 

[Denny Crane]

He can match. Hopefully he uses the $24M right away. Then he can use exceptions to match the rest.

To me, the wildcard is Hendo. I would love to have him back, but we're not going to be able to offer much if we renounce his rights and have no cap space left. BAE or Room exception sized.

I can see doing a S&T, too.

 

[riverman]

Maybe not if we get Boban as well though...that'll be the kicker

 

[Blazer509]

If we could get Parsons/Whiteside without losing Crabbe/Harkless, I would be thrilled.

That would be the best case scenario.

 

[Denny Crane]

If I had to choose between Parsons and Whiteside, I'd go with Parsons.

He's a quality 3rd option, and Plums' skills would be maximized in that lineup. We have depth to let him play reduced minutes to save his knees, or to cover the worst case.

Whiteside gets you defense and rebounding and inside scoring. His offensive rebounding is big for a jump shooting team. But rim protection doesn't mean squat if it's the splash bros shooting from 10 ft behind the 3pt line.

Parsons and Durrant in the same sentence? Really?

We would need an elite defensive pf in that lineup. Vonleh might be able to develop into that.

With three legit shooters, do you start Ed Davis at PF in a rookie Z-Bo garbageman role (with defense) alongside a Plumlee/Aldrich?

 

[Blazer509]

Why do people say negative stereotypical racist things about white NBA players in general? Saying the white guys are good looking is a backhanded way of saying they aren't good, because they are white and good looking.

God, finally white people start getting a taste of what it's like to be someone of color.

Parsons at PF with Aminu at SF?

I'd rather have Parsons at PF with Harkless at SF

Could happen

I don't mind it too much.... I'm collecting the amount of subtley racist comments in a bingo card.

"He's deceptively fast."

"He makes up for his lack of athleticism with his attitude."

"Boy! What a gym rat."

If you win then you get a LaCrosse stick, a free copy of Rudy and When It Was a Game.

Baseball for three more months baby!

 

[Denny Crane]

Parsons at PF with Aminu at SF?

Flexible lineups.

82games says 12.2 PER by opposing SFs. Awful at PF. His team won 42 games. I'm not sure he's a starting PF. For a few minutes here and there maybe.

It's all about the differential. PFs can't guard him.

 

[ripcityboy]

So we're going after Parsons if we don't sign who we want..... right, right, right..... (looks around hurriedly). Whiteside's still in the plans right! (hurriedly eats dinner)

 

[illmatic99]

This deadline is so fake. Are we really to believe that these GMs haven't contacted representatives? How exactly are these "meetings" arranged?

So bogus.

At least the Chandy meeting isn't a complete farce being on the west coast. 9PM can constitute a dinner talk. But are there really team reps waiting til midnight outside a restaurant in NYC to meet with free agents?

Yeah woj will probably drop about 5 deals at 9:01 PM
