I think Parker is going to be a fine player but I am quite positive he is going to be a MAJOR defensive liability.
It's okay though....Harden does quite well and he doesn't even bother player defense.
I just think Parker doesn't have the lateral quickness to really defend well...it's not an effort problem.
He sure will score in bunches though.

No way would I trade Ronnie Brewer, CJ Miles, Morris Almond and a pick that could become Eric Maynor for Kevin Durant. He's very skinny and will get pushed around in the NBA. On the other hand Brewer and Miles haven't even scratched the surface of their potential. Brewer is a potential DPOTY and Miles could be the same go-to guy Durant could be. He's good, but I wouldn't risk our entire future for him.
Well, time will tell. No need to declare people as clowns and all.
I like Parker, I think that Simmons's offer would be good for many teams but I find it too much for the Jazz for a player with big question marks on the defensive side of his game. I don't believe he'll be anything close to a Lebron, Durant or Kobe level.

I can live with the defensive liability issue. I think you can add guys around him and a good coach to deal with that. he brings, apparently (I don't really follow this stuff) is the ability to score big time. Every top contender has those guys, and the Jazz currently don't.
We don't need an unathletic offensive power-house. We need to be defensive-minded with lots of athleticism to make a good playoff run. We could have had a lineup of:
Shröder
Brewer
Aaron Gordon
Biyombo
Saer Sene
With Jan Vesely coming off the bench as the 6th man.

It's interesting that some folks here keep criticizing Parker's defense yet for some reason forget about The matador defense of Kanter and Burks. So if we want to build a defensive minded team then Burks and Kanter have no future with this team, right? So why not trade them for a guy who's going to be a star for years to come?
What was our record with Kanter starting for us last year?
There's even a YouTube video out on Kanter. A compilation of his pathetic defense. Terrible P&R defense and so slow with his feet. Not to mention brain farts. At 5:07 boler describes it perfectly: " Aldridge left alone. Kanter too late." Enjoy:

I watched about 3 minutes of the video. Most of his defense was solid. It was good offense. Yes, he had a few lapses, but overall it was not matador defense. He at least tries for the entire possession. Now Boozer had true matador D.

It is mostly bad. I guess you're seeing what you want to see.
