Parsons gets 3 years, $45 million offer from Dallas

I still hate the idea of the Jazz matching, but this deal here does make me feel better if they do. Mostly from a misery loves company standpoint.

First, this is for those of you who thought we should just let Hayward go and sign Parsons. This was a naive wish from the start. IF you think Parsons is as good or better than Hayward, then why would you think he'd come at a substantially lower price than Hayward?

It also demonstrates the state of the market. In other words, if you want even second tier talent in the current FA market, you're gonna have to pay for it--a lot.

It also raises the question: Just who we going to get for Hayward that is as good as him (or close to it) but who costs substantially less?

Jazz are going to match.

Naive would be thinking every GM thinks every free agent is worth the same. Go eat some pizza.
 
Parsons and Hayward are almost identical players, with imo Parsons being (very)slightly the better one because he has better mental game and consistency, although I like Hayward more.

That being said, both of them are going to be overpaid with the current offers on an equal level too. So I don't understand the puzzlement of the Jazz fans with the offer Parsons got, especially of the ones who are ready to match Hayward's offer.
 
DAL has put together a solid team.
Felton - Ellis - Parsons - Dirk - TChandler

coach: Rick Carlisle (a top 3 imo)
add some depth and this team could make some noise postseason
 
15 million?......15 million! I know we can't just let Hayward walk but that is a steep price to pay for such an inconsistent player.

How much is Alec Burks going to cost us after he breaks out this year?

That lineup is horrible. Felton is one of the worst starting points. Ellis is a small ball hog. Parsons is Hayward that can't dribble. Dirk is 50 years old and so is chandler.

Dallas hasn't put together that team yet.
According to reports, Mavs have NOT submitted the offer sheet to the league.

Sounds like an agreement with the Rockets. Why the teams would cooperate, I don't know. But Houston is waiting on Bosh, who is waiting on Lebron. If LBJ goes to Cleveland, Bosh will sign with Houston. However, in order to get both, Houston would need to sign Bosh and THEN sign Parsons. If Dallas really wanted to muck things up for Houston, they should get the offer signed and delivered NOW. Lebron seems to enjoy stringing people along...he's taken off to see the World Cup final instead of making a choice. So Houston would have to pressure Bosh to jump ship before James makes a decision or not match on Parsons.

Not that I care but just wanted to point out that LBJ is in Vegas doing his summer camp with college players.

Uh, my understanding is that Lebron hasn't left yet for Brazil, and will announce tomorrow, according to reports, before he leaves.

Edit: oh, just saw sj's post. I thought he had already left.
Wonder if he'll announce at the airport, then be able to have some peace in the airplane while the celebrations and funerals happen in Miami and Cleveland (or Cleveland and Miami). LBJ is such a drama queen. WHy can't he man up and just announce his decision now. Is there some magical transformation that happens only on a Friday? The stars will be correctly aligned to ensure that His Magnificence will be blessed pursuing his next championship
