I hope he doesn't go back to the Euroleague, I'd like to see him signed for the vet min to be a back up wing.

I doubt he'll sign for the veteran's minimum if he has a larger offer in Europe.

I didn't realize he was already 34.  I think I'd still rather sign Grant Hill.   He had a good year last year.

That's a great player who'll fit right in. But I hope they don't give him the full MLE or anything, and I agree I'd rather have Grant

Although not a bad player, he's too old. I'd look at Matt Barnes or Josh Childress first.

I'd be really impressed if Childress came here, because he's making way more than the MLE in Greece, and I think he has some endorsements there too.

What Childress and Jennings did was genious, and it makes things a lot harder for GMs.

Jennings did what he did because he couldn't qualify to go to Arizona. Nor did it help him any because he picked a bad team to go to.

Childress leaving was much more interesting, I think he's more likely to come back to the NBA next year.

I don't think the Celtics have any shot of signing him. Any contract that we'd actually want him for would be matched by the Hawks.

Brian Colangelo is interested in keeping Anthony Parker around on a contract that makes sense. So I'm guessing it would take at least $3 million per annum to out-bid the Raptors.

I'd like Parker with the LLE if the team couldn't get Grant Hill, but I doubt he signs here for that.

I thought Charlotte were his best chance at a large payday, but they're not in the market for a two guard after drafting Gerald Henderson. Bad luck for Parker.

I agree about his sister being better.  Not sure he's not a real wing player though.  That being said, I don't see why people think he's good.  He sucks.  Rather have Grant Hill.
