    I want Parker, but not at the price of giving up Batum and taking Jefferson's contract.

    Richard Jefferson isn't even a bad player

    He does make too much though

    I really like Tony Parker for this team because he's much faster on the break than Andre Miller, he's a better scorer, he's better at finishing at the rim, etc

    Tony Parker has consistently lived in the paint the last 5 or so years. He's led all guards in pts in the paint I believe. This guy knows how to get in the lane and finish.

    No fucking way. I'm glad Paul Allen didn't sign off on Jefferson.

    Adding in Jefferson was a back breaker.

    But I sure would have wanted Parker...

    It's going to come down to if the Spurs value a lottery pick over Batum

    We shall see

    Salary aside, Jefferson and Batum are very similar players. Both were absolute disasters in the playoffs this year and inconsistent in the regular season.

    If it weren't for that last player option season for Jefferson, this would have been a great trade.

    Jefferson used as a 6th man type would be a great role for him imo. He likes to score and he looks for his shot. Certainly way more polished on offense than Nic as of right now.

    That contract though...

    If it were Parker/Blair/Jefferson for Batum/Miller/Camby/#21 then sign me up. Works under the cap.

    Parker this year...Harris in others...Brooks last year...

    It is a little mystifying why POR cannot seem to close big deals with other teams....

    Nearly completed, and the parties don't agree on whether Richard Jefferson should be included in the deal? To me that says "not anywhere near nearly completed".

    We already have a 6th man who likes to score and looks for his shot.

    The Blazers overvalue their assets. And it's really paid off obviously.

    Jefferson shot over 40% from 3 last season. That could have helped.

    I understand why the Blazers passed though, Camby or Matthews would have to be included, or a 3rd team would have had to take Jefferson for expirings - probably something no one wanted to do.
