    I would offer up as much as parsons asik lin beverly picks. Whatever it takes if you are talking lillard and aldridge. Depends on whether POR is going go give away or try to hold on and build. POR is an x factor team. Same for Minnesota being x factor team for us. Also feel like ATL could be another x factor team for us.

    People are WAY over-rating parsons, he's night make he'll never be a star top 20 player in the league. Just a top 3 player on a good team. Wow some of you guys are twisted

    give me a break and I did say teetering.

    Parsons was killing it at end of year and yeah with his contract I would say yes over iggy. Bosh west and griffin I would be on fence since I really do like parsons. But yeah bosh west and griffin are toss ups. Neither one is wrong.
    Maybe like you would say a definite on bosh or west or griffin.

    I dont know though ..even bosh was getting on my nerves not doing jack much of the time.

    Its more the value as well of what we could get for parsons. Its not a straight answer.

    If heat called and said they wanted to inject wing help and want to offer us bosh but that it have to include parsons.. just for salaries it would need to be asik garcia and likely lin to start to get things in range. Even then a good cap challenge. And if you are losing asik lin and parsons just to get it even for a max like bosh I am not sure then I lose all that for bosh. So thats why I say no to bosh as well.

    Problem is every single one of those guys make at least 10X what CP25 makes. So in nba 2k, perhaps. But in real life it wouldn't be Parsons for Curry. It would have to be parsons + Asik + Beverly + Garcia, etc. then maybe not so much.

    no, his talking about players who have lower value. Bosh is a Franchise calibare player and Parsons isn't.

    Chandler Parsons IS better than Igoudala. All day, everyday.

    Fewer Turnovers
    Points
    FG%
    FT%
    3pt%

    Are we talking a straight contract swap, for the next 4 years (regardless of contract status), just for next year, or what?

    A lot of the guys on that list are on their last legs, and you probably don't want them for more than a year or two at the most...

    I mean, I'd trade 2 years of Parsons for 1 year of LeBron. I wouldn't trade 4 years of Parsons for 4 years of Duncan.

    I see. You just like the highlight reel players. Blake Griffin's 18% from 3 is awesome too.

    Iggy is a player with substance. He does everything on the court. HE IS HARDLY A HIGHLIGHT REEL PLAYER with little substance.

    You bring up 22 players so allow me to say...
    1. Chandler is not one of the 22 best players in the league.

    You say we only have a 2 year window
    2. D12 is 27, James Harden is 23, CP25 is 24, Asik is 27, JLin is 24, you have lost your damn mind! We have close to a 10 year window just based off Harden

    3. If you are strictly talking about best players then Rubio is the only one on your list I disagree with. But I would not trade CP25 for the following:

    Rubio Not better than even JLin yet, outside shot sucks and a bad fit.

    Dirk Replacing Chandler with broken down grandpa Dirk gives us a year shot. As great as Dirk is he does not play Defense and does not garuntee us a championship.

    Hibbert, Noah and Cousins we already have both D12 and Asik so why would I trade for these guys? Yep, they are better than CP25.

    Carmelo I do not want him... Period and it has nothing to do with CP25, horrible fit with Hardin and D12
