Blazers to meet with Chandler Parsons (1 Viewer)

[Cippy91]

If he can play healthy and how he was playing, it's worth it. We just saw mozgov get a stupid deal. It's just how it's gonna be. We can renounce everybody but keep crabbe and moe. Grab somebody else

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Lets say we sign whiteside, can we S&T with dallas for parsons?

 

[0-Our!]

In a market where Timofey Mozgov is getting $16M a year, what is your alternative???

"W/ a face only a mother could..." well... actually... probably not. BUT... I'd still like to see him w/ us!

 

[Chris Craig]

I dont like the contract but we need help fellas and from a negotiating position in portland we have to over pay for guys parsons is the best wing we could conceivably get I say kudos NO now lets get ezeli or biyombo and crabbe and hark make a run

That's one hell of a risk...we have had to many bad knees here already....what happened to Whiteside....we are throwing away the steak to get the chicken? Really?

I say go for Biyombo & get Moe back! More Moe! More Moe! More Moe!

I'm comin around to this. We have to get over the numbers here. 22 mil is the new reality for an above average starter. 22 mil now will become 25 mil next year. Or in the 2015 cap, it would have been 14.3 mil. It's a bit high, but nothing unexpected. The sticker shock will wear off.

If healthy, this guy offers us another playmaker from a wing or 4 position and plays above average defense, and can shoot the ball. The versatility he provides with AC/Aminu/Hark is not something every team has. I really hope our medical staff has done the due diligence

We just need a rim protecting big. Come on, Neil.

I still want steak! However, IF we're out w/ Whiteside (which IDK if we r yet), I'd settle for Biyombo & getting our Moe back!

I don't think we threw Whiteside away. I think he was throwing us aside.

I'd rather try to trade for Cousins or sign Larry Sanders before I'd sign Biyombo personally.

 

[Denny Crane]

Lets say we sign whiteside, can we S&T with dallas for parsons?

It costs the same cap space either way. No loopholes like that in the CBA. We could give Dallas a big TPE in a S&T, but we'd do it only to get Parsons a 5 year deal.

Exactly

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

We haven't signed anyone yet?

/season

Well... if u throw those out there... I'm w/ u!

DAL doesn't have full bird rights on him so the max they could offer Chandy is 4 yrs as well.

 

[Denny Crane]

Well, there you go. No point in a S&T at all.

 

[riverman]

Well we offered Parsons 4 years at 96 I think...welcome to Portland Chandler! We landed a top tier free agent if he takes the deal...curse over

 

[blue9]

Just got home - skipped to the last couple pages of a few threads. Did we really offer Parsons a MAX contract? I suppose that's par for the course as far as my opinion of Olshey's free agencies are concerned. Basically: not thrilled. However, if Parsons is done with his injuries I'll change my tune - he's a good player, just not someone I'd consider (a) giving a max contract to, or (b) target as our biggest need.

I'd much rather have waited everything out and made a trade. Hopefully we don't compound this potential mistake by trying to get Biyombo - the only saving grace is that we don't have the cap space to make such a stupid signing. Though at this point I don't know if I'd be that surprised if we renounced our RFAs to have the ability to do something even more stupid.

Eh - I'll probably be over it by the morning, and see the potential positives by noon.

You can't deny Parson's talent, only his knees. He looked great before he was injured.

But we can't get both Parsons and whiteside

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

He's a really good player. I wouldn't consider him top tier. He is on par with Andre Miller, Rod Strickland, Brian Grant.

Still doesn't beat Kenny Anderson as our best FA signing ever.

 

[riverman]

We need another guy who can get 20 pts a game and rebound...we now need a double double machine in the paint

 

[Pinwheel1]

They were talking about Parsons on NBA TV and the one thing that made him stand out.....is what a great teammate everyone said he was. Apparently his teammates like playing with him.

 

[riverman]

Woj and crew called him top tier level one max free agent all night tonight. When healthy, he can score in bunches and all reports say he's completely healthy

 

[Natebishop3]

But we can't get both Parsons and whiteside

Yes we can. It would just be really expensive.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

If we're offering Parsons, Whiteside either isn't interested or NO has a deal for a different C lined up. I'd be surprised (and disappointed) if that's our "big" move hours into free agency.

 

[Denny Crane]

He's not Durant/LeBron elite, but he is next rung down.

Do you know what a level one max free agent is?

He isn't top tier. He hasn't made an all-star game. I'd be ecstatic if we got him. But it's foolish to say "curse is over" like we are a destination town now.

Yeah because he closes on some serious ass bro... I'd wanna be around the guy too, he will be knocking up 10s, while he is doing that I can get with their friends who are all solid 8s.

 

[riverman]

Rod Strickland will always be my favorite free agent signing in Portland..he was an amazing point guard
