Blazers to meet with Chandler Parsons

[Natebishop3]

Holy fuck.... Monday?

 

[Cippy91]

Memphis is a mess. Why even think about Memphis? these players egos and wanting to be the star. Insane

 

[Denny Crane]

I think people are still hoping for something else because Parsons is not blowing their skirt up. He is the #17th ranked FA by Woj and to have to pay someone like that the max and that is the best we can do seems underwhelming it seems.

USA Today has Parsons ranked 4th best forward, free agents. Behind LeBron, Durant, and Batum. Two of those probably not leaving. A choice of Batum or Parsons? I think home run.

 

[santeesioux]

Fuck this guy, one of our rfas will be signed by then.

 

[Denny Crane]

We don't have him yet.

I'm hoping we do.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Fuck this guy, one of our rfas will be signed by then.

Our RFAs can't officially be signed until July 6th. They can agree in principle before than though.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Fuck this guy, one of our rfas will be signed by then.

no, they cant sign until the 6th

 

[santeesioux]

I thought they could still sign now and we'd have three days to match?

 

[Natebishop3]

I thought they could still sign now and we'd have three days to match?

Nobody can sign anything until the moratorium is lifted.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Timer starts after moratorium

 

[santeesioux]

I rescind my fuck him until he decides to sign with Memphis then.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

can't sign until 6th.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Calm down guys.



And it only says he is scheduled to meet memphis.

 

[MickZagger]

It mind sound crazy, but I think Harkless will be better than Parsons in a year or two.

 

[Cippy91]

It's still ridiculous. What can Memphis offer you really?

 

[HailBlazers]

Calm down guys.



And it only says he is scheduled to meet memphis.

so you're saying its 100% certain we lost him?

 

[HailBlazers]

It mind sound crazy, but I think Harkless will be better than Parsons in a year or two.

He'll never be the shooter.

 

[Denny Crane]

Nobody can sign anything until the moratorium is lifted.

So 4 days isn't going to hurt. Neil can have discussions with any of the other FAs. Parsons knows Neil is serious - met him first thing, offered all he can, great situation, best owner, great coach, he'll be used effectively, etc.

 

[BonesJones]

This isn't accurate.

According to Blazersedge's calculator, we get 25.3 million by cutting Cliff Alexander, Luis Montero, Hendo, Kaman, and Roberts. That's just 25.3

They're wrong.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

so you're saying its 100% certain we lost him?

No. This guy who is a memphis guy says officials are already in la waiting to meet him. Marc stein says they wont meet him until monday.

He is "scheduled" to meet them monday.

Im scheduled for the dentist next month and can cancel if plans change. As in, signing a max deal with portland.

my bad, i forgot the green font.

 

[MickZagger]

Hard to say. His jumper looked pretty wet this year in the playoffs.

I'm a huge Harkless guy for his versatility alone.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

They're wrong.

Doubtful. Are you taking into account roster holds money if under 12 guaranteed contracts on the team?

 

[Pinwheel1]

It mind sound crazy, but I think Harkless will be better than Parsons in a year or two.

Two different types of players. Harkless will never be the shooter, passer, or have the handles that Parsons already has. Not saying Harkless can't end up being better, but just not in those three areas.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

It's still ridiculous. What can Memphis offer you really?

Leverage against the blazers in contract negotiations.

 

[Five Second Violation]

FWIW Woj's tone on The Vertical made it seem like he really expects the Parsons thing to become a done deal.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Hard to say. His jumper looked pretty wet this year in the playoffs.

Harkless has a good set shot, but can he pull up off the dribble?

 

[Natebishop3]

This is the shit I'm talking about though...... what the fuck does Memphis have? Gasol and Randolph are old. Conley is probably gone. How is this even a discussion?

 

[santeesioux]

Justin Timberlake.

Portland is not a destination. Never was, never will. Drill that into your mind before any FA talks.
