    Sign Parsons. On the plane ride to New York, Chandler makes a call to set up the Whiteside meeting in the Chandler Parsons Orgy Suite.

    I don't know if Joel Przybilla was ever accused of being a pretty boy...

    Support for your theory: nobody EVER called Bird good-looking.

    I would absolutely and definitely prefer Harkless to Parsons. Without a second thought.

    I would be very sad to renounce Harkless indeed

    Looks like Parson max will be same as Whiteside's, about 22 million, so by renouncing all the free agents except Crabbe and trading Davis you can clear 44.6 million. You can still keep the three guys on the end of the roster also. Or could keep Davis and instead get rid of Vonleh, Alexander, Connaughton and Montero. That would clear 41.7 million. If you wanted to get a bigger max player like Horford to go with either Whiteside or Parsons, you could just go with alternative one and also get rid of the three end of roster guys, and clear 45.6, maybe you talk each into taking a slight pay cut on thelast two alternatives.

    I didn't even much like Parsons when he was healthy, but this is ridiculous.

    So let's get this straight: we trade Batum a year ahead of a rebuild where he would've been basically a perfect complement because... he would've demanded the max? Then we offer the max to an inferior version of him who's always injured?

    If Joel Pryzbilla isn't a pretty boy... Then that means I can't be... THIS ISNT THE WORLD I WANT TO LIVE IN!

    Maybe the online calculator I am using is wrong; I see I am getting something different than 48n2bounce, although I am not sure if he accounts for the almost 2 million for Anderson Varajao?

    Batums max is larger. And dealing batum was needed to have any chance of resigning aldridge.

    Batum is substantially happier now that hes gone from portland. So wouldnt surprise me if he would have left anyways

    That's called the French Advantage.

    Oh well then, it was all worth it.

    He's happier because of his expanded role. Guess what would have happened if he'd've stayed with an Aldrige-less Portland?
