Huh? He's in the bottom 3rd of those players listed. Lower right is good. Upper left is bad. This doesnt even account for the ones Vuc is too slow to even contest...

I'm slowly jumping on the Parsons & Howard bus.

Trade Vuc+Napier+ORL '16 for Bledsoe
- Reason being PHO recently struck gold in drafting Booker. Knight and Booker seem to be a nice fit. This leaves Bledsoe out.

Sign Parsons and Howard

Bledsoe/Payton/Watson
Oladipo/Fournier
Parsons/Hezonja
Gordon/Jason Smith
Howard/Dedmon

Could it work?

This team has it all..

Chandler Parsons will not leave the Mavericks. He plays a position of need at a high level and Mark Cuban is going to pay him. He likes Cuban, Dallas and let's not forget his agent is Dan Fegan. More importantly though is that most players prefer not to play in their home city. It sounds great to the fans BUT it's a lot more of a pain in the *ss for the player. The amount of ticket requests, friends coming out of the wood works etc etc is too much and can be a major distraction. Lebron is really the exception.

I'm expecting the magic to go hard after Batum personally. From there we are really perfectly positioned for what I expect to be a very active summer. The West is going to try and rebuild because Golden State is just that good. Some teams are going to move players to start a rebuild or get younger. We have good young players, cap space and picks that can turn into a lot of interesting options for us. We are going to get better this summer and it's going to be interesting to see which levers we use to get there.

One between Parsons and Batum,giving one of them max or almost the max.
That is my realistic expectation

We have a better chance of landing Parsons then Batum. Steve Clifford will not let Batum go. Hornets have had great success with him and Im sure they will match any offer for Batum. Also Batum would want to stay on a playoff team then one of the worse teams in the NBA.

We have the advantage on Parsons bc he is a hometown boy. He would love to play here and we have the money to land him. I really hope we go after him and let Evan walk.

I think the most realistic thing is we attempt to sign-and-trade Evan and then sign no one and just sit on our hands, tank another year, hope '17 free agency pans out or fire Henny and start from square one.

My guess only 1 big money guy is signed and probably resign evan. Rest of money is either held onto or we take on a player(s) in a trade or two.

Wow....a very strange thing just happened, I voted for Whiteside knowing he was a bit of a headcase, but he is a rim protector who will demand something that we don't have and that is........(drum roll) respect in the paint. What made it really strange is that I love Al Horford! But Whiteside is what we need in the middle! The other benefit is we would be able to turn the corner and make the playoffs with these 2 guys!

Parson was my other choice, and yes...re-sign the Frenchmen!!!
