    Parsons last surgery was a repaired torn meniscus...minor surgery..Wes snapped his Achilles...not even in the same ball park..I've recovered from a torn meniscus playing tennis when I was in my late 30s...Parsons is young. I looked up his medical reports today and there were zero areas of concern. (assuming you trust his doctors)

    I've recovered from a torn meniscus too, to almost 100% ...from an injury playing basketball in high school...but my knee hasn't been the same even so

    I was just talking about our ending unit (Final minute) when we want to spread the floor so Dame and CJ have room to attack the basket.

    The only FA who is going to get us points in the paint is Dwight. Whiteside maybe on lobs. But overall our offense would be so much better if we got Parsons. But yes we still need a low post scorer.

    Mine healed completely but as I was about 38, it took two years and a lot of dietary adjustments, walking and yoga but I've played a lot of tennis without concern and I'm 62. (surgery was 30k and I opted for the slow, cheaper option)

    Im coming around to this the more I think of the line-ups we can put out there even if we dont sign anyone else we have so much versatility with parsons as a 3rd ball handler and shooter in the pick and roll. our offense will be VERY tough to stop and we can have crazy long death linups like

    DL/CJ/Crabbe/Parsons/Aminu
    DL/CJ/Crabbe/Parsons/Davis or Plums
    CJ/Parsons/Crabbe/Aminu/Davis or Pums
    CJ/Parsons/Crabbe/Aminu/Hark

    Parsons/Crabbe/Aminu/Harkless in at the same time is LONG LONG LONG but short. Against a small ball squad, it'd be pure evil.

    Kudos to you man... good to hear... cheers! I was 17, it was a pretty bad tear, but I came back from it, lost a little speed, but I can still ball...I'm 31 still pretty young...I used to be a three point assassin...still can shoot it pretty good

    Yes we need a rim protector, but those line ups with Aminu, Parsons and Harkless are interesting on D. Lot of switching possibilities.

    If we re-sign Leonard, we could have 5 3pt shooters on the court at the same time with all of them excellent free throw shooters as well

    A source described Chandler Parsons as "really impressed" with Portland's presentation, which included a four-year max offer and emphasized the Trail Blazers' vision for him.

    If you could add in flashback gifs of LeBron's smiling face into this... Gold lol

    On the real though, idk if Kerr will coach much longer... He looks terrible.

    Dear Chandler, the rainy weather here in Portland is really hard on surgically repaired knees. You'll feel like an old man here. Go someplace warmer like Memphis.

    Love, SlyPokerDog

    If we get Parsons I think we still keep Crabbe but we are most definitely calling about moving some players.

    Let's find a "budget" rim protector.
