I agree with u but the issue is what sg was available for that price? I personally would have loved to bring in bazemore or rush but we didn't and as for our pg situation we needed Nelson devin in injury prone and felton is fat. Don't know why we didn't get Jr from the knicks instead of felton. I still think parsons can play 12-15mpg at two 20m st three and split the other sf minutes up between Jefferson and aminu


You can probably get away with Parsons at SG against a few teams. But if the other team has any offensive talent at that spot, that is a nightmare defensively for Dallas. No chance he should be guarding even an average offensive SG. Tyson Chandler would probably feel like he's back on the Knicks at that point having to chase and defend the rim.

Harris played both SG and PG last season.

I think an Ellis/Harris/Nelson rotation works just fine, even though you'd like to see a little more depth.
