I don't want klove anymore.  Cost too much.  Rather see smart and young develop

As Much as I want Love to come and become competitive again, after the draft, I'm feeling okay about going young and seeing if some luck comes out of the next couple drafts.

People are underrating parsons in this thread. He's solid.

Agree.....Mr Bird !

I'd trade Green for him any day of the week .....I don't care if Greens numbers are slightly better.....Parsons has him beat in BB IQ and effort six ways from Sunday.

Give me Hayward and Parson s anyday  over Jeff Green and his under whelming attitude to win every night.

Agreed

He's solid, until you see what the market will still start offering him... double digits easily. And that would be a huge mistake.

Parsons is a good player but he isnt the centerpeice of a trade for an allstar like love. Not sure why flip is obsessed with acquiring role players when without love he has no stars.

Begs the question though, could we acquire parsons and send him to minnesota?

Would much rather return to being competitive and winning games should be a bigger priority than youth and development.

It's perfectly reasonable to believe that Minnesota values Parsons much more than Sullinger in a trade.

Sure it is.  It is Flip stinking Saunders we are talking about.  Never mind that Parsons had a 15.9 Efficiency Rating vs. Sully's 16.4.  Stats don't matter Flip.

I value Parsons over Sullinger too. Prototypical size for his position, very well rounded offensive game. I can't say I payed attention to him on defense when I watched the Rockets.
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

I think I give the edge to Sullinger, due to his potential to be a double double guy. I like Parsons, but I feel that he's nothing more than just an above average player.

There are some people who will think it is significant that Parsons has been a three-year starter in the NBA while Sullinger has started for only half a season.

The priority is winning championships. Would you mind being the Atlanta hawks? always in the playoffs but never won a thing.

And so how does youth and development guarantee a championship?

I am not saying give up on Smart and Young.

But why can't we keep both guys and try to acquire a veteran player? (doesn't necessarily have to be Love.)

I don't understand this "it has to either be youth or established players" mentality.

And also, the "Atlanta Hawks/New York Knicks" argument alot of people make against acquiring veteran talent really doesn't have much merit.

In order to win a championship, you first have to make the playoffs, don't you?
