Built Ford Tough Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 WojYahooNBACavaliers are down to wire taking bids on Anthony Parker, with Boston still in the mix. I don't know how Parker has played over the past year as I don't exactly make an effort to watch the Cavs play, but if he is still the same type of player as he was for Toronto, he would be a nice pickup for a contender who is looking for a solid defensive, shooting veteran off of the bench. I think he would be a nice fit for the Bulls to fill their shooting guard hole, assuming he is still the same kind of player as he was in Toronto. If the Rockets insist on Asik for Lee, I don't see why they don't flip Miami's pick for Parker or something like that. He isn't as good as Lee, but he is worth more considering what they will have to give up to acquire him in comparision to Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 He hasn't been all that good this season but that might be mostly mental with the struggles being a bottom feeder. If they can get him on the cheap then he'd be an excellent addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) CBS did report that the Lakers might make a small deal before the deadline. Maybe they are one of the teams? Just taking a wild guess here. Edited February 24, 2011 by Dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted February 24, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 CBS did report that the Lakers might make a small deal before the deadline. Maybe they are one of the teams? Just taking a wild guess here.I wouldn't be surprised, because Parker is a good three-point shooter, and while he's not a monster of a defensive player, he can defend better than Walton. However, I just don't see why we would do it unless we were trading Brown...and Brown has to give his consent to any trade we try to include him in, due to the one-year extension and Bird Rights.

Vujacic trade exception + pick could get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
