Chandler Parsons

The Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves have secondary interest in Chandler Parsons, according to a source.

The Lakers, Bulls and Mavericks are expected to pursue free agents such as Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James and could turn their attention toward Parsons.

I would like for this guy to be a Laker ... If Melo / LBJ won't end up with us I wouldn't mind having Parsons ...

How much you willing to sign him?

If Melo isn't a possibility(I'm not even going to touch on Lebron) if I was the Lakers front office I'd take on Jeremy Lin, Terrence Jones and a 1st rounder in a trade, then immediately offer a contract to Parsons just to screw Houston :lol:

He's going to get over-paid by a large margin... I like his age and aspects of his game but I worry about his ability to keep it going... I think he's seeking the lime-light a little bit and he feels like one of those guys that get's distracted easy.
I'd be willing to offer him something in the mid level range, but I doubt he'd accept it.

I assume he will stay in Houston. He was the one who courted Dwight. I think this is just a ploy by the rox to create cap space then resign Parsons. I hope someone offers a ridiculous contract that the rox have to match. Houston is getting away with robbery with free agents if Melo joins Harden and Dwight. I really hope they strike out this year.

I personally would love Parsons. Not sure if I would give him the max (probably what it would take), but he would be a nice fit here.

Going to get overpaid by 1 of the many teams that miss out on Lebron & Melo. Same with Hayward.

I don't believe there is a contract offer that makes sense for the lakers that the rockets wouldn't just match

Would rather have Ariza for half the price.

I'm not a Parsons fan. I can't stand basketball players that licks their fingers and fix their eyebrows because they care too much what they look like on TV. We haven't had a player do that since Sasha. Lakers should worry about the win, not how they look. Self absorbed. Focused on the wrong things.

he's just so sexy you have to get him.

I think Parsons is underrated. A 4-year $25m contract is going be an excellent investment. I can foresee the 2014/15 starting lineup as Nash-Bryant-Parsons-Randle-Monroe with Wes, Baze, Kelly, Clarkson and Marshall to round out the rotation. We can also use a veteran big man such as Emeka Okafor or Anderson Varejao too.

Parsons has been an overrated player for a while now and his lack of improvement last year over his previous years would make it dumb for any management to sign him to a lucrative contract of any kind.

or re-signed by houston, who snag one of lebron or melo

guy is a 10 mil per player (think korver) with a caphold of 1.7-3.9 mil depending on which source you use

He's also a 10M player that's about to get 13+

4/25M contract :lol:

There are teams who would offer him the double.

The Prodigy · Post #19 » by **The Prodigy** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 3:27 pm

It appears that for restricted free agents like Bledsoe, Parsons and Hayward it would take a significant overpay for their respective teams not to match. I'm not getting my hopes up for any of those guys at a reasonable price.

Don't think you guys can afford Parsons cause Hou will match anything close to reasonable, but I think this is a better direction for LAL.

Sign Lowry for 10m, Den for 10m & Gasol for whatever. & use the full MLE to build some depth & a core of 5-6 good ppl. Then the ring hungry vets will come w/ the BAE & vet min or pp will take paycuts to stay.

Instead of grabbing Melo & going Kobe-Melo-Randle-MLE & scrubs.
