Jabari Parker idea

[jay]

Parker has been mentioned a couple of times as a potential match from the Bucks. The idea might be trade Crowder/Bradley/picks for Parker and Hawes.

- is Parker worth the Lakers and Clippers picks?

- the Bucks have Maker, Henson, Teletovic up front and they drafted DJ White.

- the Bucks are paying Middleton and Giannis, will they want to pay Parker?

- Hawes wouldn't be a bad backup center offensively while we wait on Zizic to develop.

- trading $15 mil in salaries for $12 mil is a good thing.

- Is Parker better than most 2018 draft eligible forwards? What are the odds we really get Porter? Wouldn't getting a 22 year old now be better than risking the odds to get a really good 19 year old?

is Parker worth the Lakers and Clippers picks?  NO
Hawes wouldn't be a bad backup center 5 years ago.
Is Parker better than most 2018 draft eligible forwards?  Maybe before the injury, at least he was fairly well hyped going into college.  But the hype that Porter is getting is higher and Ayton and Bamba are being hyped just about as much as Parker was. 
What are the odds we really get Porter?  Probably not going to happen, but then with a pick 2-5 we should have great chance to get Ayton or Bamba.  Also, lets not forget that Doncic is in this draft too and he is producing at a high level for Real Madrid at a ridicules age, starting on their A team at 17.

I agree. Next year's draft feels like that 2014 draft hype

 Celtics already have a better version of Parker. Tatum

I am a fan of Parker. He would be a player to add if not for the injury. His injury profile equals a player that the C's should pass on.

I think Jabari is going to be very good--not "special" as advertised coming out of college, but very good.  That said, I don't see the use in having both he and Tatum together.

I'd rather develop Jayson Tatum.
