With Parsons courting DeAndre, anything is in play. For all we know, DeAndre could be signing his contract in a club come Friday. But with Chandler and Wright locked up, the Clippers and Mavericks have no safety net at center. It was thought that if DeAndre left, the Clippers could orchestrate a sign-and-trade and bring Tyson Chandler and Chris Paul back together. With every replacement-level center off the board, it's pretty much DJ or nothing for the Clippers. Regardless of how it turns out, Chandler Parsons needs to be recognized for the master recuiter he is. First he brought Dwight to Houston, and he's almost single handedly convinced DJ to jump ship. As a Clippers fan I'm quaking in my boots, but as a Chandler Parsons fan, I'm treating myself to some Buffalo Jeans.

Kings give away Stauskas

Just when you thought the Kings couldn't get any more nonsensical, Vivek comes out of nowhere with a Stauskas-sized haymaker. He traded Stauskas, Jason Thompson, and Carl Landry to the Sixers for the rights to an overseas player. The Kings also gave the Sixers a protected first round pick, and gave the Sixers swap rights in two other drafts. The Kings cleared cap space to go after free agents Monta Ellis (who signed with the Pacers), Wesley Matthews, and Rajon Rondo. Once again, we're left scratching our heads at Vivek. I mean, is the guy bipolar? Stauskas was his man, the apple of his eye during the 2014 draft. And he gives him away after just one season so he can go after Rajon Rondo? The guy who just destroyed the Mavs season? Or Wesley Matthews, who's coming off an injury that no player has successfully recovered from? They're actually just a joke at this point, and I hope Boogie finds a way out. I'd hate to see his career ruined by a short Indian man who thinks he's a basketball genius.

Celtics Disappoint their Fans once Again

The Celtics made their 'big-splash' of free agency, signing Amir Johnson and Jonas Jerebko to 2 year deals worth $24 and $10 million, respectively. While those deals look like an overpay, the second year of both deals aren't guarenteed, so they are very low risk. With news breaking that the Celtics were out of the Tobias Harris race, Danny Ainge had to audible. He came up with a couple of role players that aren't going to move the needle in any direction. The Celtics are stuck in NBA purgatory, and desperately need to move some of these assets to recoup a star.
