I hope he can mentor our young guards, but I worry he is just going to take minutes away from them. 

Outside of Kemba there is not another primary ball handler on the roster for him to take minutes away from.

If Borrego plays Monk at the one like Clifford does then he doesn't deserve to be a head coach.

Mitch was able to trade Dwight and cleared up money to sign Parker. That's a W.

Parker won't be 2015-2016 Jeremy Lin, but he's a stable backup to Kemba and should be a great mentor to Devontae Graham. Two years isn't a long commitment. He'd roll off the same time as MKG, Marvin & Mozgov.

Exactly.

I think when we didn't trade Kemba that should have been a sign that we weren't tanking. Now, with the addition of Parker we can say we definitely aren't tanking. 

I like this move. We just need Parker for 12-15 minutes a game. We haven't had a competent backup PG since Lin so this is actually a really good signing. At the same time, he gets to mentor Graham, Kemba, Monk on a system he knows a lot about.

Is he the Parker of old? No of course not. But can he give us 15 min so our team doesn't go to hell when Kemba rests? Absolutely! Good signing since we aren't tanking. 

Now, the only thing left is trying to move one of MKG, Marvin, Frank, Cody, Mosgov and try and get a high potential stretch PF who can actually shoot.

      I see they blamed Slavin for the goal like I did.

      See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.

      Svech only 1 goal behind the guy they've pretty much already given the Conn Smythe to...
