dtait93 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Omg that Parsons contract is horrrrrrible lol. I couldn’t imagine having 42 mil wrapped up in him and Biyombo, but that would be a lot of money we would free up in 2020-21. I wonder what deals could be whipped up between Orlando and Memphis. I will say though that I’m not too keen on taking on Parsons just to move up 2 spots. Bamba, Young, and Sexton may all still be available at 6 and I would be fine with either 3. I don’t see Doncic falling past Atlanta, who is the only player I would be interested in moving up for, and even if he was available I don’t think I would make that move.

beekay414 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 You don't take on Chandler Parsons' contract to move up 2 spots. Hell, the only time I'd take on his contract is if I'm outside the lottery moving up. Otherwise, there's zero incentive to doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if Memphis lets JJJ and Bamba dictate where they go, then you're getting one of them at 6 anyways. There's literally zero incentive to taking on Parsons then. I'd rather force Memphis' hand at 4 than bail them out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJJ is cool. bamba is everything i want. Isaac/Gordon/Bamba is such a wicked defensive front court. JJJ would fit at the 5 too, i get that. but bamba...

That's why there's zero incentive to take on that albatross of a contract. JJJ is in the top tier of this class while Bamba is a bit lower. I know Bamba's shot blocking and length are tantalizing but JJJ literally has the highest potential of anyone in this class. His floor is pretty damn safe as well IMO.

If we’re not competing anyways why are you so quick to dump DJ’s bad contract for Parsons dog **** contract? Shouldn’t both of their contracts be irrelevant then? Vuc kills your interest, but trotting Mack out there as our starter again would do the exact same thing. Atleast DJ is a decent back up. I’m just as high on Bamba as you are but I think there’s a really good chance he falls to us and Young or Sexton would still be a great consolation prize. We can get more for Vuc who is an expiring contract and would be a good starting center on a team that doesn’t have an established losing culture. We could get a better package for #6, Vuc, and DJ than moving up 2 spots and getting Parsons who is hurt all the time and still getting paid $25 mil.

We're talking about a legit 7 footer that can defend the perimeter on switches, can protect the rim, rebound and shoot at a high clip from 3. Outside of the jaw dropping length for Bamba, there's almost no reason to prefer him to JJJ. Oh and JJJ is 18 until September. Bamba is 20 already.

Bamba is 20 already. rebound at the 5 position. being a ridiculous presence on the court. trust the human more to develop to the max. not that i dont think jaren's a guy that's gonna work to get better, i like him too. bamba i like more in that regard. if we take JJJ, he's starting at the 5. i'm not pointing out anything that's not obvious and been said a 100 times, but he's soft inside a lot. i prefer him at the 4 & don't come at me with "but modern nba" talk, i get it. bamba fits at the 5 better and i think he's just a more impactful player. i like jaren too. bamba's got it going on mentally.
