    He has been playing like a scrub and apparently forgot how to shoot free throws again. I thought he was whack last year but he picked it up slowly towards the middle and proved me wrong. I hope this is the same case this year.

    Don't we all.

    Maybe we should objectively consider that we are 2 games into the season.

    He's overrated because of his race/looks but we're only two games into the season lol.

    Definitely been the worst player on the team so far though.

    I don't understand why Parsons dosent postup people more. He is 6'9 or close to 6'10 with a big body so when the shots are not falling, I think we need to post him up a bit more. Most SF outside of Lebron will struggle with him if he starts posting people up.

    Come on y'all. We're only 2 games into the season. I get annoyed when Parsons goes MIA offensively, but he's due to have a good game soon and that'll get his motor going again. What I don't care for is McHale extending his minutes on nights when I'd rather see more Cass/Garcia. (Looks like Cass might be hurt, so finally a DMo sighting, I hope.)

    If you really believe that then what do you think he is going to get you in a trade? Obviously if someone is willing to trade a star for Parsons, Morey has to listen, but keep in mind you aren't trading Parson 1 for 1 for a star, just based on salary matching alone. You will be giving up Parson plus some other pieces.

    He's overrated by a lot of fans, but he's the glue guy/role player all championship teams need.

    I don't really care since Dwight is here no matter what, but has he said anything about Parsons being one of the reasons he signed with us? I find it hard to believe that Parsons had that big of an impact. It just sounds like something their agent told Parsons to say so they can use that when negotiating his next contract.

    Maybe Casspi's good form (at least before ankle) also plays a bit into it. Only 1st two games but McHale has another 6'9 guy who can do some of the same stuff. Maybe the competition put some pressure on CP shot. Against Cats Omri had two bad plays in a a row that gave CP the chance to finish the game on the court instead of the bench and against Mavs Casspi's fouls and ankle injury gave CP minutes that otherwise I am not sure he would be getting.
    I think with D12, McHale will rotate the shooters until he find who is hot. CP has been bricking way too many 3s.

    Objective impression after two games. You're a scientist, aren't you? :)

    So we trade Chandler after he recruit Dwight many times in offseason? That would be suicide to trade him after what he have done to get Dwight. Rockets wont let him go. Alexander will sign him long-term and he will retire as Rocket.

    I have to admit the idea of a good looking white guy who is a key player on the team is cute. #noracist & # nohomo :grin:
    And I really like CP. But he should realize he is only relevant because he can shoot, defend, jump and look like a winning player.

    To some extent you always have to remember that these guys are young and make a lot of money. Easy to get distracted.

    I have a feeling CP needs to realize he is only famous because of BB. Less fashion shows in New York, less Twitter, less apparel. More shots in practice.

    At the end of the day you can be white and a 6'2 busty blond at that, and everyone would still hate you if you play like a scrub.

    He has talked a lot about how CP called and/or texted him every single day and really sold him on the team chemistry angle.

    Handcuff contract with D12. They have the same agent....you better believe there's a deal already in place for parsons. He doesn't do all that recruiting without some assurances. If DM did he'd do both parsons and his agent wrong. Just not good business in a league driven by relationships.
