Point is its a natural tendency to overvalue your teams players as a fan. Parsons would be shipped out in a heartbeat for a #1 pick or a young talent like Cousins or was the difference between signing Howard or not. His career and contract will look much like Batum or Prince.
O i agree, fans over value their players. Im just saying I believe a team will over value him even more then our fans do. Hes for sure going to get better, hes going to be an Olympian. Back to the shipped out in a heartbeat for a #1 pick and / or young talent, didnt DM get many offers last year for Parsons, good ones? but Morey Declined because he "overvalues" Parsons? I dont have searching rights, but something in the back of my mind rememebers readin on these forums, that a team offered something legit for CP, but we said no.........help please
FOUND ONE! Adrian Wojnarowski: Houston is still lingering in Josh Smith talks, but Atlanta's desire for Asik and Parsons is a non-starter for Rockets, sources tell Y! Twitter @WojYahooNBA
LBJ-Max KD-Max CP3-Max DH-Max JH13-Max Curry-11 million TD - 10 mil Melo-Max Westbrook-Max D-rose-Max Ya max money, but heres a start /thread
It is about value. Josh Smith is not an all star or all star caliber and he's at his ceiling and wants near max money. If you added him as a FA eh I could deal with that but trading two excellent values like Asik and Parsons isn't worth a Josh Smith. But I would trade Parsons and Asik for Love, LMA, Cousins, and other all stars or in Cousins case soon to be all stars. Talent trumps all in the NBA you trade whatever it takes to get a true max worthy player and the only way to do that is a 2 or 3 for one like Tmac or Harden. Morey knows this and he knows this and expect at least Lin and Asik to be gone before their co tracts are up. Parsons is a tougher sell but if Howard is aboard and a Love or Cousins is made available bye bye.
Point is if Morey wouldnt make a deal for asik and parsons because he must believe there is MORE VALUE in Parsons and Asik. If i remember correctly it was declined because "Parsons" was included. Now I cant speak for Morey, but does he put more Value on Parsons or Asik? Does it matter? My Point is, if Morey says no to Josh smith who wants max Money, who is prob going to get max money, for Asik and Parsons that It could mean Parsons Value is really High and or Asiks value is really high.
Just found this article on Chandler Parsons, worth reading, and thinking about http://www.hardwooddiagnostic.com/value-added-list-of-the-most-cost-effective-producers-in-the-nba/ Through March 10, Parsons had cost $1,165 per unit of production. The average cost of a unit of production this season is $13,938. Based on that price, Parsons’ production this season has been worth $10.6 million. He’s making $888,000. So he’s currently worth roughly $10 million more than he’s being paid. That’s huge. That’s like a free All-Star, almost.
So if he improves lets say 20% in all categories or some important categories could we theorize his production value would be worth 12 million? As a 3rd Option? What about a first option could it be more then 20%? Would it decrease and become worse? There has got to be some teams looking at this and thinking this kid could be an allstar
Joe Johnson has been on the decline and was a star when he averaged 25 on 47 percent shooting, he also had the talent to tell everyone to get out of his way and let him do his thing. Parsons needs others to create for him, but he'll be a great 3rd option on a championship team when we sign DH12.
The mini-camp isn't going to be scrimmaging against the actual senior national team, like the select team does. It's so that they can evaluate the potential players that they might select for the 2014 World Basketball Cup USA team, so Parsons is really competing for a spot. This was the previous mini-camp. <iframe width="590" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MazgdMdkgvs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
