Portland Trail Blazers to meet with Chandler Parsons
Twitter: Portland to meet with Dallas free agent Chandler Parsons in LA on July 1 with Damian Lillard in attendance, sources inform @clevelanddotcom. (@ChrisBHaynes)
It is being reported by Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com that the Portland Trail Blazers have arranged a free agency meeting with Chandler Parsons. Parsons declined his option with the Dallas Mavericks meaning he is free to talk to as many teams as he likes. Portland have a lot of cap room this summer and Parsons is a potential target as he fits coach Terry Stotts’ ‘five out’ system due to his versatility and good shooting.
Parsons is expected to meet with multiple teams such as the LA Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans but the meeting with Portland is the first concrete meeting that has been organised by his entourage.
Parsons’ campaign was marred by injury but he was still effective when he was on the court both as a defender and as an offensive weapon.
