    If the Blazers have the chance of signing either player whom would you prefer?

    You didn't make a choice neither. Fix your poll.

    Neither. ugh. If those are the choices available, save the money for 2017. No need to blow our space on mediocrity and bad fits now.

    Parsons is bigger, a better shooter, a better defender.
    Derozan is quicker, a better shot-creator, and draws a lot more fouls/free throws.

    I see Derozan as a primary scorer, effective with the ball in his hands; whereas Parsons is more of a supporting player who can contribute in other ways. Basically, I think Parsons' skill set fits better with what we need to supplement Dame/CJ.

    Both of these guys are better than "mediocrity" and would by far be our third best player. Non blazer fans would argue at least derozan is better than McCollum too.

    My choice is parsons.

    I like that if we retain Aminu.

    Lillard
    CJ
    Batum
    Aminu
    Plumlee

    That's a squad.

    It's refreshing that you guys don't seem to get hung up on money in these discussions.

    Raptors fans are biting their nails about giving DeRozan $25MM/year.

    Totally agree with that, buddy. Sign Batum and simply slide Aminu to the 4.

    Durant.

    If you think DeMar can play SF, then he's your next target.

    Between the two: Parsons. Better fit without disrupting the chemistry we have.

    Doesn't DeRozan require a trade? We'd lose CJ if se got DeRozan.
