    The only way I'm excited about getting Parsons is if he helps bring Howard. Otherwise, that is TOO MUCH money for someone with 2 knee injuries already by age 27.

    If we get Parsons, and this is the shit I'm gonna have to read all summer from you guys, hopefully we don't get him.
    Do the others have someone like Dame he is close friends with though?

    First we get the Parsons, then you get the Whiteside and then you get the Durant.

    I thought there was a limit to max contracts on one team.

    Just one super max allowed which Dame qualified for by getting 2nd team All NBA this year.

    And one of the 204 people he follows? None other than Taurean Green.

    I think that's the plan. Get Parsons to commit so we can weaken the Mavs and then go pitch Whiteside.

    Not sure. But orlando is close to home so they worry me. Memphis could be a problem if Conley signs quickly. But I do like our chances. This guy was at the top of our wish before the injury. I hope we can pull it off.

    If you renounce Roberts, Kaman, Hendo, Leonard, Harkless.....Trade Plumlee, Vonleh and Connaughton....You can get Parsons to 21.75 and Hassan Whiteside to 21.75.

    And be able to keep Crabbes rights.

    Lillard, CJ, Parson, Aminu, Whiteside

    Davis and Crabbe on the bench. Use Room Exception for a guard. Have Layman too.

    Sign minimum players to fill out roster.

    Hmmmm. Don't know if I would wanna do that.
