I honestly cannot predict our rotations at this point

Not really sure about this signing tbh. Hopefully he is just Johns backup and gives us a spark off the bench. I don't want him eating up the young guys minuets at all.

So the 4/5 rotation has the following:
Collins
Parker
Spellman
Len
Fernando

Well, that changes a lot. I'm very surprised

I like the deal. It could easily turn into a one year thing; PO. Or maybe a trade chip?

I'm a bit conflicted bringing in Jabari Parker around Cam Reddish.

Seems like a poor example for 'Killa Cam' and they seem likely to compete for minutes.

Do you see Parker playing SF mins. He's big. Only 6'8" but about 250

Another fatty to compete with Spellman at PF.

I guess TS wants to add a few wins to keep young team from getting too discouraged. Surprised by this choice

Low risk mid reward. Basically the same type of situation as signing Len last year.

Strange that he chose a PF when Collins is one of our two clearest starters.

I wonder if we will see some on Collins at the 5 now too.

TS is so busy that there could still be some changes before we have our roster

He's probably started 37 games in the past 4 seasons on some bad teams so he's the primary bu 4 here.

He's still 24, figured him to be Atleast 29-30. Spellmen could be the primary bu big. They still have the flexibility to up grade the 5 by the td.

I like this signing very much.
I thought this morning, well, I guess it's going to be the slow time of the year.
Excellent signing as Jabari Parker will have value with this contract that can be moved within the two seasons.
TS seems to be thinking playoffs and on paper we can compete with the division champions Orlando.

We're gonna score a lot of points, who needs defense?

I was high on Parker once upon a time, he's a decent reclamation project.

I see it as a trade investment. I don't see a long-term fit. Help the young Hawk's core in the short, trade value to follow
