    Interesting that Parsons chose to come back a little earlier than expected and against the other team that chased after him in free agency. Perhaps he wants to show the Blazers what they missed out on.

    Here's hoping the Blazers murder the Grizzlies this afternoon and show him what he missed out on.

    I'm thinking it will backfire and our guys are going to eat him alive and his shot is going to be off. Never good to rush things especially if emotions are involved. I expect him to come out trying to do too much and we better take advantage of it.
    Im more concerned about whats gonna go on in the paint honestly. I am also expecting a big game from my boy!!!Snap your finger snap your neck!!!!

    To be fair, he chose where to go... we didn't really have anything to do with that.

    You're right. We did him no wrong. If anything, Turner should want to have a great game and prove to Parsons this team is better now without him. Basically Turner was the consolation prize, so I think he might have something to prove. Hmmm. We already know how he likes to force things. I hope he just forces it on the defensive end.

    This bodes a good question now that we have seen a bit of our team. Are we still better off without Parsons and the inflated contract?

    I think so. The additional money wasn't going to be able to be spent on any other max guy anyhow, so it afforded is the ability to retain the rest of our roster. If we had signed Parsons, we would not hat Turner AND we would not have either Leonard/Hark or possibly both.
    Is Parsons really that much better to justify this? Maybe time still needs to play out , as he is only coming back now, but I prefer what we have. With Parsons, we limit our versatility that is one of our strengths... or SHOULD be one of our strengths right now.

    We went over the cap to sign Leonard and Harkless. We would still have them. Who we wouldn't have if Parsons came here were Tuner and Ezeli.

    Sure but from what we know about our Blazer Brass (and how by every indication they seem to Leonard more than most fans) there is nothing to suggest we would have went that route.

    Maybe Parsons IS working for the Blazers, after all.
