Here's a Chandler Parsons commercial for Buffalo Jeans.

The Rockets also have the Pelicans 2015 first round draft pick.

How about Love & Barea for Parsons, Jones and that Pelicans pick?

If I had to choose, I'd take Lin over that 2015 pick, but I'd push for both if I were Flip. I see Lin as a perfect fit for us as a backup PG who could also play the SG spot along side Ricky in some instances. High basketball IQ is critical to Flip's offense and Lin certainly has that.

Lin has a horrible contract though, especially if he'd be backing up Rubio, and I believe that draft pick is only top 5 protected.

- June 23, 2011: The Minnesota Timberwolves traded Chandler Parsons to the Houston Rockets for cash.

- June 26, 2012: The Minnesota Timberwolves traded a 2012 1st round draft pick (Terrence Jones was later selected) to the Houston Rockets for Chase Budinger and Lior Eliyahu.

Gotta love that. Irony at it's finest.

Can't remember Kobe Bryant speaking about Klay Thompson like this... Hmm... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c99WSkhY6Nc

Great post, Cam. Thanks.

It's not a terrible contract at this point. I believe it's only one more season at a little over $8 million. The $8 million amount is nuts, but it's not a concern since it expires after this season.

Wolfson: Chandler Parsons would have to consent to a sign-and-trade to #Twolves. Someone close to Parsons: "If the $$ is right, he'd be ok."

Damn Chandler and his character issues... :roll:

Yea because douches are never in it for the money.

Lip, according to HoopsHype, Lin is owed $14.9M this coming season. I would be glad to take that amount on if Houston takes back Budingers longer deal.

Parsons (he will be resigned for about $10M per if I had to guess) / Jones / Lin (expiring) / Pelicans pick
for
Love / Budinger / LRMAM (expiring)

Seems like a reasonable deal for both sides.

I think the Houston deal can balance out our roster while giving us room to grow moving forward + future prospects.

Not 100% sure, but I think I read somewhere where Lin only counts against the cap for 8/9 Mil. because its the average salary of the life of the contract or something funky like that. Anyone got any confirmation or correction on that?
