Sacramento is ripe for exploitation. If they strike out on Waiters, we can get them to do a S&T for Crabbe.
My question, and it's a serious one, is why would anyone be depressed? It should be expected FA's will sign somewhere else.
Pretty damn depressing. Worse bball situation, worse living situation, and similar money? Jeez. It's why I'm annoyed that there is even a meeting happening. This dude had Dame come down to LA for a day to pitch to him. Does he really need more convincing?
Somewhere else, sure. But if that somewhere else is a worse city with a worse team and a less stable franchise, then that might lead to some depression.
How? If nobody could figure out a (reasonable) way to clear enough space for Whiteside, how are we going to get Howard? You expect him to take a discount?
Actually yes. He has already said he doesn't need a max. With his buddy Parsons on board, I think he would consider less money to get a ring or two.
Tim MacMahonESPN Staff Writer Debate Chandler Parsons' value if you wish. Market says he's a max player. And there's no doubt he makes Portland or Memphis much better.
Not sure another topic is needed so i put it here but a tweet from Jason Quick : Jason Quick ✔ @jwquick A person with knowledge of the Blazers' plans says their intention is to go after both Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard. 22s
How much less do you think? Unless he's dropping down to the neighborhood of $15M/year, I don't see how we bring him in without completely gutting the team.
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine 1m1 minute ago The Blazers not only get a top-shelf small forward if they beat out Memphis for Chandler Parsons but also a proven Dwight Howard recruiter.
