    the way this season went and how he played in the playoffs, and now with the invite to the mini camp, I ask is Chandler Parsons on touchable. or how far is he frpm untouchable.

    also dont forget his contract and the fact that hes a top 10 small forward in his second year.I

    No one is untouchable if the right deal comes along.

    If Miami offered Lebron for Harden, the deal would've been done yesterday.

    That depends. Are either of Noel, Burke or Porter worth it?

    I personally say hes untouchable because as of right now he hasnt peeked yet. so far his unit of production is around 11 million. He is going to get better and his value will go up. Morey is going to hold on to him.

    Only Harden is untouchable on this team.

    Even then he will be traded if we can get Lebron.

    Considering his contract, his age, and his play last year, he's the most untouchable player on the team by far.

    Parsons is way overrated on these boards. He is a ROLE PLAYER. Sure, he's a great one at that, but his impact on games is not nearly at the caliber of big time players like Harden, and it never will be. People's views on him as a BBall player are skewed because he's such a likeable guy. The bottom line is that in a few years he's going to command big money, possibly 8mil+. Are you really comfortable about locking him into a contract like that, considering how little trouble Morey has finding cheap talent on the wings? I say trade him now while his value is high.

    This just shows how difficult it is to be a GM in the sports world. If it were up to y'all, we'd still be playing Brooks, Scola and the Chuckwagon because y'all sure love role players. There is only 1 untouchable player in this entire league, and he took his talents to South Beach. Durant himself would be available if it meant getting Lebron.

    Lebron is untouchable, every other player in the league, including the new ClutchFans god Parsons, would be traded if the right player comes along.

    When Parsons was drafted, was he overrated or underrated? After his rookie season, was he overrated or underrated?

    I don't know what Parsons will eventually become in this league. He's been nothing but a pleasant surprise so far. He's not far from being a star player right now in my eyes, and I think he may still have some upside. Maybe you THINK he will never be able to impact games like a "big time player", but I thought he had some big time games against OKC in the playoffs this year. I don't think anyone knows for sure what Chandler is capable of, even Chandler himself.

    We have Parsons locked up for at least two more years, no need to trade him now.

    Parsons is not totally untouchable but behind Harden is probably the most untouchable on the team. Parsons is Paul George light. If you look at George's numbers and Parsons' they are very similar. No doubt George is better especially defensively than Parsons and has higher upside but I feel Parsons could be the third best player on a championship team.
