    We haven't offered anything. Why don't you wait until free agency actually starts before you go into full meltdown again (like you did last year).

    Nic is not better than Parson, even the Dallas Blog admits that Batum would be a wash....at best. Injuries for both are a concern.

    Someone explain, in words that HCP could understand, how the Blazers could possibly sign both Parsons and Whiteside?

    Maybe we are out of the race of Whiteside race and Olshey is going for perhaps his next target? Im still staying optimistic and I don't know the actual answer to the original question, but maybe the parsons rumor is because Whiteside is no longer a go.

    Here's how i understand it.

    We have about 24 mil in capspace after letting go of Kaman, Gerald, Montero, and Brian Roberts.

    We have offered Qualifying offers to Moe, AC, and Meyers allowing us to match any offer they receive and making them restricted free agents. But that also leaves capholds for those guys. Moe and Meyers have capholds of about 7.5 mil each, while AC's is minimal.

    Those qualifying offers can also be rescinded at any time removing the capholds, opening up 15 more mil of capspace if we let Meyers and Moe become unrestricted free agents and losing the right ot match any offer they get.

    We then have about 39 mil of capspace to spread between Whiteside (22 mil max) and Parsons (17 mil).

    We can make this even more likely if we find a taker for Plums and Davis without taking salary in return.

    How the fuck is plan A a guy with microfracture and meniscus surgeries to his name in the last two years? Does anyone in the Blazer office know anything about our history? Seriously, WTF

    One of the few positives I can think of with this is Clutchfans seems to hate his guts so that will be extra funny when we beat them.

    Really guys? Be disappointed if you think his knees cant hold up.

    But chandler parsons is basically on par with rhe brian grants, andre millers, rod stricklands that we embarassingly call some.of the best free agents portland has signed.

    The fact dude is even considering us is because of dame.

    If its ok with dame it sure as hell is ok with me. Ill buy a parsons jersey as soon as they are available.

    That is a concern of mine too. It feels like a case of "same old same old" to me. Get our hopes up when potentially on the brink of being relevant, and them whammo...back to also ranville.

    Layman is Parsons 2.0, would be interesting to have them on the same team
