As I reported earlier today, the Sacramento Kings' interest in Jabari Parker is comparable to the Bulls' Told now Kings' and Bulls' offers are almost comparable.

Wait until the more desirable team makes an offer, then make a similar offer that will no doubt get rejected in favor of his home town he wants to play for and also create the illusion of trying in free agency. It's actually genius.

If we really wanted Parker, we should have offered the exact same Lavine contract to Parker the moment it got matched. I had no idea why we waited another week and allowed Bull to sign him.

Not sure if it is true, but heard year two may be a team option, probably some guarantee if that's the case.

Also am wondering if we did in fact make an offer, maybe we were just used, but would be interesting hearing our FO say they never made a formal offer in the first place.

I don’t know if they loved Parker. Hard to go by what you read from national media because I just don’t think they are accurate. I think it’s speculation and or just using the Kings to beef up a story or be asses like Bruski. I mean is it true that the Kings also didn’t like him as a SF option or is it true that they were on him late? Conflicting. We have no idea. 2 ACL injuries in 4 years, 20 mill a year, 2 year deal with team option. Doesn’t quite fit what they seemingly are looking for which is longer contracts to grow together. Lavine was willing to do that. Sounds like Parker wants to go home. I’m fine not getting him.

I'm still holding on to hope that the Master plan was to price every other team out of the Market by making them over pay... No we are pretty much down to us as the sole team with money and still a couple good Free Agents to choose from. Now we only have to outbid the teams that hold their rights...

The question is for the Kings....is Hood a guy they want to give a 3-4 year deal? Is he really the guy they want going forward? Reading between the lines, they made the long term offer to Lavine as they wanted him to be part of the core.....same with Hezonja who wanted a one year to increase his value. Other offers like James Ennis seemed like a shorter term fill in at a small contract. He might not be the guy they want to offer 16+ too. I wouldn’t.....but we won’t get him for 10 per year either.

Still think it’s a waiting game on a team desperate to unload contracts. Soon we will be the only team left with big space. I keep looking at Miami and as someone mentioned earlier in a thread, I’d take Tyler Johnson and Winslow or other asset. How desperate does a team get? I say play that waiting game and if we come up short, we aren’t hurt. We give Jabari Parker a 3 year 20 mill deal and he sucks or gets hurt, that would be a killer.

Tyler johnson is 19.2 million before the trade kicker. If winslow was more than a one year rental i would agree, but tyler johnson has a player option next year, so winslow could walk and we'd be stuck paying 19+ million to tyler.

Don't get me wrong tyler is a good player but not worth that salary for extended years.

I believe Winslow can be a RFA next year, If he works out we can match next year, Tyler not worth the money
but would want a 1st rd pick

Tyler 19.2 mil 2 yrs,Winslow 3.5m 1st rd pick for Temple
saves Miami 14 Mil, Elim 7 mil Luxury tax, makes room for Melo/Wade

Unfortunately I don't think it will matter. I don't think Smart wants to come here. Even if we overpay. He will probably take a few million less because he knows he will get the same amount of minutes on a team that's poised to make it to the NBA finals.

True he would be a RFA
A trade kicker means when they are traded their salary goes up, so add about 15% to johnson's salary

That is a very odd thing to say indeed. Even if you are a poor defender that is a terrible attitude to have in regards to improving

I don't think he realizes that the guys that get by without playing defense are the guys who can pass, rebound and shoot like Harden. Just scoring with nothing else doesn't win games if you're the #1 option.

Either way, two rival executives told B/R that the Bulls' search for a trade partner could prove futile. Given how things have gone for Parker in Chicago, it's clear to all potentially interested teams that the Bulls aren't picking up Parker's $20 million option for next season. If you could sit back and get a former No. 2 overall pick who's not yet 25 for a whole lot cheaper as a free agent a few months from now, why would you give up an asset and take on his contract for the rest of the season?

"They'll try to trade him for anything they can get," one of the rival execs said. "It's going to have to be an expiring contract, but how many teams have expiring contracts that can stack up to [$20 million]? Not many. I think they'll just buy him out."

In the 5 games since he got back, Off the bench, Ave 16 min, Ave 13 pts, 22/38 FG, 8/14 3pt shots

We lost out to the Bulls in July, but sounds like Parker could be had for an ender,cap space maybe a 2nd rounder?
Between Shump and JJ we got 1 point from our SF position last night

Maybe we should take a chance? We would have a team option for next year so no commitment, we get a young SF to help in our last 6 mos push
if he works out-great , a new young core piece
if he doesnt work out, drop him at end of the year, and work in FA for a new SF

if we can not get Otto Porter - this should be our back up plan Not Lin, Not Enes

I’d have to disagree with your conclusion. Hes not that good. Just a name, might as well sign Melo.

No, my backup option is Taurean Prince. In fact, he might even be my primary target at this point.

Kings not going after Parker is typical for this FO.
It makes too much sense.

He fits the timeline, 23 yrs old, he is younger than some rookies, he’s a solid shooter, and the Bulls want nothing more than an expiring.

It just tells me that this organization(Vlade) doesn’t want to admit his mistake with JJ.

Parker is better than him now and it’s not close.

Have you watched Parker play defense? I think this is a bigger reason why FO aren't going after him.

If his defense is the reason Sac is not interested, then they need to take a look in the mirror. Sac is a bad defensive team already. Their point differential is negative.

So instead the team is interested in Past their prime defensive stalwarts like Lin and Kanter. Lol. If you want to see plenty of Bad D, look no further than those 2.

Bulls are only asking for an expiring.
