    Parker (12) / Valentine (20) / Hutchison (16)
    Markennen (30) / Parker (18)
    WCJ (24) / Portis (24)

    Enough minutes for everyone.

    Parker is like Tobias Harris, advanced stats say he sucks donkey balls as a SF.

    Could that be because of worse lineups around him when he plays SF?

    Probably not considering how drastic the difference is.

    I don't see Jabari playing SF unless Giannis is off the court though.

    And with Lauri and WCJ, he'd have the space to post up smaller SFs which could make him more effective offensively at that position than he was in Milwaukee.

    I don’t think Jabari at 3 will work that well. He will get killed on the defense too, I feel, but he wasn’t a particularly good defender at 4 either.

    Locking $40million a year into LaVine and Parker doesn’t sound like the brightest idea to me but then again Chicago probably feel like they cannot get any established talent in through free agency anyway so they would rather overpay for whoever they can get. Parker before injury was a very good player.

    Parker is young Carmelo, if young Carmelo played like old Carmelo.

    Way off topic, and definitely not thread worthy..... working for the NFL all month for the inaugural Flag Football League season. Brought The HCP Jr. with me out on the road this week. Have never done that before. He eats, sleeps and breathes football. Got him down on the sidelines working for our double header broadcast today. He had a blast. As you were. Back to talk of Jabari Parker.

    We have a mlb thread. Create one for football. You can add cool stuff you do over the next month.

    Here's another way off topic post.

    Memphis can battle for a playoff spot if healthy.

    Almost every team in the West can battle for a playoff spot next year. It's going to be crazy.

    Except for Sac. But this move is not trivial for MEM.

    I don't get this move from Sac. Getting back a bust they drafted and another big to their glut of bigs.

    I'd rather try McLemore over Stauskas if we're still on the King draft bust bandwagon.

    That's why they're Sac.

    This has to be a precursor to another move. They have a gaping hole at the SF spot similar to us. Doncic woulda been such a perfect fit there.

    PG: Fox/Mason
    SG: Bogdanovic/Hield/Mclemore
    SF: Shumpert/Jackson
    PF: Bagley/ZBo
    C: WCS/Koufos/Giles/Skal/Davis

    Guessing they're either going to make another move or sign Hood to a big deal and hope CLE doesn't match. No other explanation.

    We have one that I'd be willing to give them.... Only costs $17M/year.
