    He has the least among the guys. Dwight has 4 millions and James and Jlin have 1 million each. Actually most of those following him are Jlin fans....because of that bromance thing.

    I've been watching basketball since 1985. I value my judge of talent. I know an all star when I see one and Chandler Parsons is simply not that caliber of player.

    This is spot on. And that's a great word to describe it. I too cringe when he's mentioned as untouchable and when people say ridiculous things like they wouldn't take Rondo for Chandler freaking Parsons. Danny Ainge would be burned at the stake if he even considered such a trade.

    It IS possible to get into the All-Star game if you're on a great team and your value has been enhanced by being surrounded by great players.

    That's right- 14.8 scoring average and BJ makes it into the All-Star game.

    Do I really need to keep going on about this? I can find at least 20 more players who made it to the All-Star team who have very similar stats to Chandler Parsons last year- and that's assuming he's not going to improve. Let me guess.... your argument is, "well, those players were all All-Star caliber"- Sure. That's the way for coaches to select- "hmm, stats be damned... he just LOOKS like an all-star!!!!" So, your statement about Chandler Parsons NEVER becoming an All-star is, again, ignorant if you know anything about how all-stars are selected and that 20-30 alone have been selected with stats similar to Parsons.

    Which supports my statement that I think he would be a 1-time or 2-time All-star, but not a perennial one. Those examples I mentioned were all players who were 1, 2, or 3-time all stars.

    Exactly. I'm not hating on him or anything but he is EVERYWHERE! More than any other NBA player this summer. Of course, I might be biases because I'm a Rox fan but he is EVERYWHERE.

    If he thinks he can become a max player, I hope he can! He knows he has to improve before that point though, but as long as he puts in the work, he can do it.
