I think Parsons will not be around after this contract ....

I wouldn't mind trading Parson for Aminu and if they have someone they want to get rid of....but I don't see them doing that.

Probably sound like a broken record but Mavs should make these 2 trades:

Trade 1: Parsons/Mejri for Noah/McDermott
Trade 2: Felton/Evans for Aminu

DWill/Barea
Matthews/Harris/Jenkins
Aminu/McDermott/Anderson
Dirk/Powell/CV
Zaza/Noah/McGee

We get tremendously better at defense and rebounding with plenty of offensive fire power.

In this case, why not to trade Parsons for Durant? Unless you can actually make a good argument why Portland would ever consider taking in Felton and Evans, who is even 1 year older than Parsons, and give up Aminu who can still develop.

We should have never give up on Aminu because he fits so well. I know the $$ was not there but man he would look good with this squad and get plenty of easy baskets with great D.

I thought Aminu wasn't working out there and if that is the case they'd get two expiring contracts to move on from the commitment.
I don't see any huge upside in Aminu but if they want to develop then make it Felton/Anderson for Aminu.

With all do respect I tend to disagree that Aminu has anywhere near Durant potential

I used Durant reference only to describe how realistic Felton/Evans for Aminu sounded. I don't think Anderson sweetens the deal much. I imagine they could be much more interested in Powell.

Quick search on Aminu not settling well in Portland netted for me this: http://hoopshabit.com/2015/12/22/por...t-fit-blazers/

My bad then....Harp just mentioned he wasn't fitting in well when we played them last but maybe things have changed. I don't recall him doing much against us in that game though.
