I think that's right.

Getting Parker and KP on the same team might be worth it. We can also look to trade Hardaway. If we win the lottery or even land 1-2-3 and get Bagley or Aayton--I might just follow this path as a priority. Aayton Parker and KP would be one helluve frontline OR we could take Porter and play Parker at 4 and KP 5.

I'm mean, that's nice and all - and I'd GIVE ThJr away for NOTHING - but what team would have him?

You are proposing these trades and signings in a vacuum with zero salary cap background and no regard to what other teams would take back in trades. It doesn't work that way.

I think we can get there is Kanter opts out. And I think he will. What a hack job by P Jackson and then followed up in the same way by Mills.

Thats the way I look at it--they dont5 have a spot for him there and certainly they arent paying 24mm per. It could radically change this franchise--go big or go home.
Im scared Philly will get him and then you can say lights out for 10 years.
We can sell him as being the new"man" in NYC. By next year his legs will be at or near 100% and hes 23--hes got 7-8 quality high end years

I don't see how Parker would fit in Philly's plan, especially with Covington and Simmons on board. Parker is OK, but as it's already been mentioned, we don't have the cap space, even if we stretch Noah. Also, KP would have to agree to play 5 for this move to make sense. We can't rush into any move at this stage.

Briggs, I know this synapse came to you and thru your fingers but you might want to sleep on this a while.
Im sure if we do it enough times these guys will pay off but that little voice in my head whispers "Antonio McDyess" and it get middle ear balance loss.
Its a big gamble. Let me ask you a question, would you trade our no. 1 pick this year and Kanter for him straight up (Money aside) to have his bird rights and pay him a longer term wage that locks him up and everyone happy?
What does Milwaukee need that we have? They want to win now. They can parlay that draft pick into something else perhaps they need?

Parker is a young player who tore his ACL. Not really a McDyess situation at all. He will be fine. I wouldn't trade our pick for him though.

Pure cap space tradng pick for player is a bad bad model.

IT was an exercise: would you trade the 9th pick this year for Parker. Is he better than Bridges?
I don't do trade vomit.

All things considered, Parker is probably a better player than who we draft at 8 or 9, however, the difference in contract will be the biggest factor. Parker will be making market value. If we draft Bridges, we get an NBA ready prospect for a fraction of the cost over 4 years and can also spend that other big money. So tough to compare.

I know its tough. A trade means we don't have to over pay him. Whats his market value? 18mm? 19mm? 20mm for 4 years? He can relax and work into his career with a team to grow with. We get to play internet GM and throw around all kinds of shyt but you get one window to make a deal. DO you make this deal? Forget what Milwaukee wants for the moment.
Im not advocating either way.
Quick, the pancakes are getting cold!
