Jabari Parker expected to be pursued by teams who miss out on LeBron, Kawhi The Kings are just one of the teams expected to make a run at Jabari Parker, and some executives within the league view the former No.2 overall pick to be among the small tier of players below stars such as LeBron James and Paul George. I think some teams will give him $20MM and there might be some teams that will make it tough on Milwaukee to match and offer him even more, the NBA official tells Woelfel. Another NBA executive speculated that the Sixers could make an offer for Parker should they fail to land a bigger target like James, George or Kawhi Leonard. The Rockets and Clippers are both high on Parker and could be possibilities if a sign-and-trade were to occur, though it would be hard for Houston to complete a deal and stay under the tax apron if the team retains its own key free agents. Many dominos, such as James coming out of his decision cave, are likely to fall before Parker inks his next contract with a source estimating that a deal wont take place until late-July or early-August.
