Blazers to meet with Chandler Parsons

[Denny Crane]

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

maybe

 

[riverman]

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?

I don't think they're fake as much as veiled...having a deadline is about keeping the media out of the room until they're ready to make moves..GMs have ways of communicating with agents....3rd party, etc...I don't mind that end of it.

 

[Natebishop3]

Fucking exactly. Such bullshit. So much tampering going on.

 

[Denny Crane]

Opponents will guard him with a SF. Guard Aminu with the PF. At least I would.

Well everyone done fucked up because Parsons was a 24 PER at PF.

 

[Denny Crane]

Well everyone done fucked up because Parsons was a 24 PER at PF.

If you play him with Dame, CJ, Crabbe, and Plums (or Davis), it works.

 

[Blazinaway]

He's a good player and likely a good fit, I just worry about his knee issues

 

[Scalma]

Do you guys think Olshey and co haven't looked into his injuries? If they're going after him, they must feel confident about it. It's not some reclamation project where they hope it works out. They're paying top dollar. There is no room for error.

 

[Natebishop3]

So if it's Parsons, that has to mean Harkless isn't coming back. I don't see us giving Parsons 20-25 million and then turn around and give Harkless some big contract. Although, I'd still sign Hark and use him as a trade chip.

 

[ripcityboy]

I have a feeling this is going to a free agent signing like when your dad told you, "We'll we could have bought the toy in the glass case. But you couldn't have it..... and this one Is JUST AS GOOD!' I like Parsons though.

 

[TBpup]

What if they signed Parsons and traded Aminu?

 

[Natebishop3]

What if they signed Parsons and traded Aminu?

Gonna have to if we want to make another max offer. At this point, would you rather have Aminu at 7.5 million or Harkless at 12-15 million?

Aminu at 7.5 easily.

Renounce roberts, hendo, kaman. Waive montero and alexander. Trade plumlee for a future 1st. Renounce meyers and harkless and youre pretty damn close to affording parsons and whiteside at max.

Fuck man... I'd much rather sign-and-trade Harkless. God I hate losing talent for nothing.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

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

That was a joke?

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

Kinda makes you wonder why everyone wants Batum and we're the only ones who seem to be interested in Parsons, doesn't it?
(Also, still no mention of defense. Or point-forwardness.)

 

[Binx]

David Aldrich just reported that the Blazers are going to offer Parsons a max contract.

He's totally coming here if that's true.

And look what team just became the sexiest bitches in the NBA!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Man, Chandler Parsons at Max doesn't move my needle.

 

[Sinobas]

I'd prefer to keep Harkless over Crabbe and Aminu.

Aminu is just kind of a "meh" player. A nice backup, but not really a high impact player in any area. And Crabbe...his skillset is not that hard to come by. But Harkless is an elite level athlete.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Trade Aminu to Memphis for Gasol and Z-bo.

 

[Scalma]

So what happens after we get Parsons? What's the next move? Gasol? All hypothetical of coursecourse

 

[Blazer509]

I wonder what we do if he commits immediately, How do we make room for Whiteside?

 

[santeesioux]

CP accompanies us to see Whiteside/Howard.

 

[Sinobas]

CP accompanies us to see Whiteside/Howard.

This is starting to remind me of Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure.

 

[ehizzy3]

Our max used on parsons leaves me.......sad

 

[santeesioux]

This is starting to remind me of Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure.

Chandler and Dwight's max contract adventure?

 

[Scalma]

How do we afford whiteside and parsons if both get max deals though?
