Why Does Rudy gay do better than Chandler Parsons, seriosuly
can score at will, put the team on his back, come up big in clutch moments, completely take over a game. parsons is a role player. a good one yes, but a role player.

i can tell that you are one of the people who see certain stats go up when kobe is off the floor so you suggest the lakers are better off without kobe. stats arent everything my dude. if you have an argument with people in real life and try to say parsons is better than rudy you will get laughed at.

How about the other games where he shoots his team out of games by not passing it to Randolph?

im not a grizz fan and really dont watch them much but ive never seen rudy gay as a ballhog. he has a bad shot selection sometimes but to say that he is a terrible player and that roleplayers are better than him is laughable.

Besides that one Toronto game, what other "clutch moments" has Rudy ever had?
I saw him during a tight game with the Blazers last week and he completely disappeared when the game was close late. He also never "took the game over".
I don't know what player you're watching, but he's not the Rudy Gay I've ever seen.

Nope, Kobe Bryant is an excellent player, top 10-15 all time.
You are trying pass off the "Rudy Gay is a good player" statement as if it is just understood and beyond any need for explanation. Your " completely take over games" and "come up big in clutch moments" is not evidence, its eye test, which is unreliable and comepletely biased.
For every game he has taken over, he completely chucked the Grizzlies out of others. There is no doubt if Rudy takes shots at the end game in every close game, he is going to make a few of them. Parsons has taken over games too. Although, Harden is usually our clutch guy, so no real measurements for Parsons.
I have watched Gay play, formed my opinions, which were subsequently confirmed by stats. I am very comfortable in arguing my position in person or over the internet, because frankly, its and accurate position.

Now post the boxscores for those games and lets see if his poor shooting is what made them close in the first place.

we will just have to agree to disagree then because no matter what stats or boxscores you tell me about, you cannot convince me that chandler parsons is the same caliber of player as rudy gay.

He hit a game winner over Lebron at the buzzer last year. Just sayin'

Let me fix this for you.
Can score a lot on extremely low efficiency, can take his teammates out of games, not particularly good at anything.
Overall a slightly above average player that thinks he is a superstar. Tremendously overpaid, I can go on. Nets already have a player just like that and his name is JJ.
Nice comparing a max player to someone paid less than 1m a year(Parsons).
Only the playoffs separate the true great ones and frauds.

So.. uh.. Are the Nets are trying to absorb every awful contract in the league. Rudy will make 19mil in 2 years. Why would you do this to yourself?

The thought of the Nets paying THAT starting lineup all that money is HILARIOUS.

The Nets are better off with Wallace than Gay. I don't want Rudy Gay.

gerald wallace is one of the few guys in the league who could play the 4, but wouldnt they have to include him in the deal?
