This is a seriously crazy thread. I agree that Parsons is not a #1 guy, but honestly this team doesn't really have any #1 guy at this point ... including Dirk! This team is first and foremost a TEAM. Everything about this team right is built around smart players that can do several things. Parson is a prime example of that in that when he scores, drives, assists, rebounds, and at points in the game plays very good defense.
If nothing else, this team was built around Rick Carlisle and his ability to put players in at the right time and ask them to do the right thing. This may not be a championship caliber team right now, but we are still legit and have to be planned for carefully. Case in point was last night against GS and RC completely destroying Luke Walton.
My suggestion is to quit trying to change the team when we have yet to have a fully healthy starting lineup and honestly how about keeping players around for a while to develop chemistry and more important consistency within the organization.
