    Come on man, if your going to make that comparison think it through. Arian is the best in the league at his position. Chandler is not end of discussion.

    This.

    People, there hasn't been a report/tweet of parsons being included in the trade.

    You aren't getting it. No one is saying that Parsons is worth more than the 5th pick. But that overall reported package is seemingly steep a price considering the value Sacramento would be getting from us, unless management thinks it's what they need to trade for D12. If that gets done, I don't think it's an endgame move.

    Right after Mr. Stern says "The Sacremento Kings are on the clock".

    Does anyone who saw the Bucher report know whether it was live? Last night, on SC/ESPNews, they kept replaying a phone interview with Bucher for hours. If that's the case again, it's old news and likely talking about the Lowry/16 for Hayes/5 deal that was rejected yesterday, per David Aldridge.

    I understood The Cat. Doesn't mean I won't argue with someone who's opinion I disagree with, though. ;-)-

    If Thomas Robinson goes number 2, let the chaos begin. Have faith.

    I see it as a bunch of chicken littles. Headed by the biggest chicken little of them all Morey as their leader. You want stars but you really dont want them when it comes down to it. Playing these little numbers games with role players. To get a real star it hurts sometimes and it takes risks. Always takes risks to get stars or to get into position to draft one. If you have someone who is constantly gonna nut up at the last second and not have the balls to go all in? We will keep being stuck where we are. Morey just needs to grow a few hairs down there and just give them a nice offer.

    I can't even tell if you're joking. Bucher flops more than the spawn of AK47 and Chris Paul

    Over half of the ESPN reports are junk.

    In retrospect if last year's draft could be done again, Parsons is probably taken in the 1st round in the teens. Lowry in retrospect is probably taken in the top 10.

    We're trading that value with 2 more picks in the teens for #5 and Evans, who would still be probably taken in the top 10.

    I think we're slightly overpaying but it would be a good trade for both teams.

    We cannot trade Parsons! Who's going to stop Durant in the WCF next year?!

    Hmm. Well, I guess our hope is that his information is old and his sources aren't as plugged in as Stein/Ford. Both of the latter two are active on Twitter, so if they had new intel, I'm guessing they'd report it...

    I don't want to trade Parsons or D-Mo either, glad to see Morey thinks the same.
