    I would not expect him to sustain these numbers, but this is what he was doing the TWO months before he got hurt.

    "He had the best statistical stretch of his five-year career in the two months before his season ended, averaging 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 47.7 percent from 3-point range and proving he could thrive at power forward in addition to small forward."

    lol I'm with ya, man. Tell Neil that.

    I have a sinking feeling that we might be going in on his 22 mil max if we're meeting with him at midnight

    Because he's a prideful ego-tripper. Remember his comments after the Rockets let him move over to the Mavericks? This guy's personality is bad news and I want no part of him.

    And if we sign Parsons immediately, that either signals that we're trying to use him as another chip to get someone like Whiteside to sign, OR he's plan B and we're not getting Whiteside or Howard.

    You're not possibly insinuating that he "has a little African in him", right?

    That shows me he was being a good sport about it and has a sense of humor. Props.

    Sidebar, I remember a while back that Parsons was going to do a summer camp in Portland this summer. Can anyone else recall this?

    Yeah I thought that was pretty random at the time. He had to pull out because of his injury.

    I suspect we may see several sign and trade deals in the next week! With Crabbe, Lennard and Harkless all being restricted - we may be able to leverage two of those three.

    Who's the Center in Sacramento?

    Would you take Cousins in a S&T of Crabbe, Lennard and a conditional 1st ?

    Plum and Aminu to GS for Bogut and then Neil signs Luol Deng

    Yes of course on Cousins.
    GS does not want contracts back for Bogut from what I have heard.
