Not a fan. Bazemore is more of a 2 guard and I'm just not willing to give up our first to dump turner. I'd rather save it for a potential deadline deal that could make more of an impact.

And if we keep it, next year's draft isn't great up top but pretty deep in wings / combo forwards. DeAndre Hunter, Jalen McDaniels, Jaylen Hoard and Rui Hachimura are all intriguing to me.

Their contracts cancel out so it turns into: I'd Bazemore worth a 1st?

Maybe if it's top 20 protected and they send back an early 2nd.

Hunter seems like he could play right away, but his low ceiling will keep him borderline lottery. Rui will be a stud if he develops his jumper.

Isn't Jalen McDaniels in the HS class of 2019?

You're thinking of his younger brother, Jaden.

Turner is a net negative and Parsons is now 100%.

You don't need to tell me about Turner - I know how much that dude sucks.
But I'm not so sure about Parsons being 100%. If he can, in fact, play at even 80% of his pre-injury form then I would definitely be on-board for this swap, and be willing to overlook his Chandlerness. But it seemed like his career was following the Wes Matthews path. But I suppose I'd rather have Wes than Turner...but it's WES!

The question becomes next summer what is easier to move: one big contract like Parsons or the "smaller" contracts of Turner and Leonard?

Edit: It also cuts over $4.3 million off our cap number this year and opens up a roster spot.

At this point, Turner probably has more on court value than Parsons - but - if the Blazers don't dump some payroll, I fear the next move will be to trade Aminu for a 2nd rd pick in 2025.

We went through this already. The only team that could take Aminu right now without sending money back is Sacramento and it is unlikely they would want him. There are a few other teams with a trade exception big enough but most of those teams are rebuilding ones that likely wouldn't want him either.
 
I'll take Turner defending Lebron or Kawhi or Durant anytime over Chandler Parsons....you trade good defense for a guy like him and we'll scrape the bottom of the defensive stats once again...you need defenders...Turner and Chief are really good defenders from my view..Chandler Parsons is injury prone and has gotten worse year by year.he's also a terrible defender..and he has a lousy contract..don't get the value myself

What are the stats for Turner as a defender? I don’t really think of him as a good defender, more of an average one. So just curious.

I'm not a stat guy but he defends very well from my eye test....he also is strong enough to bother great players...Parsons couldn't defend anybody..Chief and Turner and sometimes Mo were a huge reason we were 8th in defense last season...

Fair enough, just wondering. I remember him letting Giannis do the same thing over and over but that may not be all on him. I don’t think he’s bad at all, just curious.
Parsons is a pretty bad defender, he may fit the offense better though.

You sure you mean Turner or Aminu?

If Turner was on Giannis regularly, that's a coaching issue. Not Turners.

First game against the Bucks last year Turner was on Giannis a lot and got worked while Giannis took like 4 steps to the basket every time...

Im pretty sure Giannis is much bigger than Turner and would be a major mismatch. I call coaching foul on that one, not Turners D being weak, just outmatched size wise.

I mean, we have to be realistic with the matchups.

I looked at the box, and Aminu had a terrible game. Likely nobody was stopping Giannis and ET at least brought better offense. Likely coach thought ET could at least stay in front of GF, but he was unstoppable.

Reports have him ready to play play.

Do you think it's realistic that CJ would welcome Parsons to the team? That could be a barrier. Another reason to avoid social media.
