And, yeah -- if I'm throwing max money at Howard or Whiteside, then give me the guy whose arrow is trending upward instead of the guy whose is trending downward.

I'm guessing Parsons isn't in the picture anymore since he didn't opt-in. Fine by me, because you'll have a pretty damn near elite defensive team with Conley, Matthews, Anderson, and Whiteside starting.

Only way you can keep Parsons in the scenario is Dirk playing for the minimum...which I frankly don't want to see.
