And that SOB is trendsetting in Memphis..."Being the first big-name free agent to come here, I think that's special, and I want to be a trendsetter here," Parsons said Friday.

And how is that a problem for you, in what way? What's tickling your booty-hurt bone over this?

[Spurtacular]

There has been so many sh** contracts this offseason. NBA execs desperate it seems.

[Obstructed_View]

And still debatable whether he's the most overpaid person on his own team.

[spankadelphia]

3 max players who won't even sniff the All-Star team next year. They might let Conley sneak in to justify his absurd contract, but he won't even be a top 5 PG next year.

This isn't going to end well for the Grizzlies.

big-name free agent:lmao

what is he smokin?

[maverick1948]

I am loving it as I watch teams spend like crazy. Just because the salary cap goes up next year doesn't mean you should spend it all now. What happens when they realize that they have very little to spend next season as the salaries increase and they have nothing left to pay a big name free agent.

Spurs are doing it right. Hang on to as much as you can and watch what happens from year to year. Then spend (LMA) as you need to and have it to spend.

[Mikeanaro]

Pretty stupid, sound like a money laundering deal.

This isn't going to end well for the Grizzlies.And none of three will come close to leading the Grizzlies to a NBA championship.


The Conley contract is the worst of them all because he got the contract despite not even being good last season, never being elite in any category, nor ever being the best player on his own team. You mean to tell me that last season Conley averaging 15ppg and 6apg on 42% shooting 36% from 3, and being atrocious on defense was worth 5 years and $153 million? And there's more of a chance of Conley being the same player he was last season than becoming an elite point guard. Worse contract in the NBA right now.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

big-name free agent:lmao

what is he smokin? He's not a big name free agent. Parsons isn't even relevant outside of Texas or Florida. Parsons is not the first or only one calling himself a big name free agent. The Memphis media has been doing this too. They also don't have a problem with the Conley contract either. So what are the Memphis media smoking?

[spankadelphia]

Worst case scenario, the core tanks in 1-2 years and we lose a couple of lottery picks in loaded drafts. That's probably what will happen.

Source: Chandler Parsons has a bone bruise in his left knee that could cause him to miss up to two weeks. That is not the knee that Parsons has had surgically repaired twice. The Grizzlies announced that Parsons will miss Monday's game in Charlotte, the second straight game he will miss.

Ennis is a better fit with the Starters anyway...Only problem is, outside of Randolph their bench is basically a collection of D-League players, a rookie with some potential and some guys you would barely recognize.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

I just hope that Parsons doesn't turn into another Brandon Wright. Overpaying for complimentary players/roleplayer and asking them to be main guys is what organizations that suck at drafting do. Unfortunately the Grizzlies are in this category.

Ya I don't know if we were listening to the same interview but the piece I caught he was justifying the contract. Interviewer raised the question about being overpaid and he went on and on about how he earned it.
What a piece of work.

Not sure how this guy keeps finessing teams out of big money..he's definitely got a snake oil salesman for an agent..it isn't like there wasn't any red flags with his knees as he finished the last two seasons on the shelf ..even his buddy Cubes had to pass up on overpaying him, which says quite something..

[HarlemHeat37]

Parsons is a product of White American privilege, tbh..same reason Kyle Singler is in an NBA rotation, Jon Leuer is starting, etc..also why Jimmer Fredette received so many chances, despite clearly being a D-league level talent..

It was easier to hide back in the 80s and 90s, since social media didn't exist, and we didn't have a 24/7 news cycle..if you put Parsons in the 80s, he would be viewed as a megastar and Larry Bird's rival..

[The Third Man]

Remember Daryl Morey waving goodbye as soon as he was off his rookie contract?

[spurraider21]

if you put Parsons in the 80s, he would be viewed as a megastar and Larry Bird's rival..were there no white americans at that time who were considered average or below average nba players or were they all superstars?

The red flags: (a) already gone twice under the knife and finished his last two season on the shelf; (b) he is already 28; (c) he was never top 5-7 at his position; (c) a finesse guy thrown in a group of rugged veterans(Zbo/Tony/Marc probably hate both his bastketball and life style)..

Inexcusable..It will certainly go down as the worst max contract ever..

Think that contract's bad? Mavs gave D-League scrub Yogi Ferrell a 2 year contract because he played okay for a week :lol

[DPG21920]

Dude, this is an awful contract. If your best friend who see's you everyday isn't willing to pay you in a league where everyone gets paid you should have seen the red flags a mile away. What a disaster deal.

[FkLA]

Yogi probably isn't getting anything close to $24 mill though. And Parsons is pretty much a D-League level player at this point too. Parsons' deal is much worse.

[DPG21920]

The crazy thing is how cocky he is and how he basically parties with the owners to get them to pay him and it works :lol. Then he talks trash like with CJ McCollum and gloats about his money.

Yes. I've read several articles about their relationship which was so strange for an owner/player. It led to a lot of weird issues in the locker room because players knew he was so close to Cuban so anything they say could be told to Cuban.

Is there any reason why the Grizz can't land Harrison Barnes back in the summer ? He's not all that special but at least younger & seems more durable/healthy. I think the Grizz should have been able to challenge for the 3rd spot of the west if they have Barnes instead of Parsons.

[SpursIndonesia]

Yeah, probably because Harrison Barnes is already signed with the Mavericks.

Barnes signed as FA, right ? So basically first minute signing, no wooing process from any other franchises ? IF Memphis came up with offer, no offense to your team, i think they must have some chance to get him.

He's under contract with Dallas, they can't just sign him or ask Dallas to trade him to them just because Parsons sucks. And did he ever play for Memphis? You said "land Harrison Barnes back". I don't recall him playing for Memphis? You sure you're not thinking of Matt Barnes who played for them last season?

And to answer his question I think when Barnes became available Memphis had already commited to Parsons
