Indeed his professional career was over before this but let's hope he recovers and enjoys his life.

He'll probably be fine...
Parsons told officers his neck, back and head were injured, but did not wish to be transported to the hospital. He went to the team facility instead, and docs reported he had a concussion and whiplash.

Lawyers trying to get him a fat retirement check from insurance.

remember when all those people wanted to get him here, really only because he is from central Florida.

Guy was fine player, but man oh man, his health fell apart after age of 25

He was a good player when healthy. Just never know how these knee injuries will go. Not like we did much better with the money... signed Biyombo who was an instant regret and should probably be a third stringer at this point. If we went hard after parsons maybe the oladipo trade doesn't happen since ag would have to stay at pf...

But what should they target in return? Picks? They now need starting PG, starting forward next to Wiggins.

Imo still best solution out of this mess is find a fool to unload Wiggins.

They can try to trade for Paul or Westbrook, but funny enough they would need to add some assets. I have a feeling Westbrook would eat Towns alive.

ugh. Or trade Wiggins for exp contracts

Ain’t nobody taking on that Wiggins contract Pepe.

That's probably true. Maybe after next year , when only 2 years remain.

Meer spoke out about the Delonte West situation. He was one of Meers teammates in college. Pretty heartbreaking stuff if you haven't seen the videos. He's always struggled with mental illness && now is apparently homeless and strung out. Hoping he gets help.

Discussion must have started in another thread. But man, I'm still a little shocked by the Kobe and Gianna news.

Just saw a pic of the 3 girls in their Mamba Academy uniforms.

Ok, 2.16 into the video clarifies it. Blow out with under a minute left and Crowder lunges to steal the ball and steps back to shoot a 3. Punk move and Elfrid rightfully put him on his ass. I'm riding with my man on this one :lol:

Oh fk off. Be a man Elfrid. Its sport. People play to win. Get better at the game. Softcock loser move by Elf.

Eh... in all seriousness I don't actually agree with what Elfrid did, but there is no denying that it's well known in basketball that what Crowder did is a blatant act of disrespect. So he shouldn't be surprised if somebody comes for him.

If only Elfrid could find a way to play with that kind of fire. He would be an All-star.

Final shot clock of the game, sure, but there's nearly 50 seconds left, play the damn game

MagicStarwipe · Post #674 » by **MagicStarwipe** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 8:37 am

In other former Magic player news... Victor Oladipo made his return tonight. After looking rusty as hell the entire game and not being able to buy a 3... he casually hits a 30 footer to send the game into overtime.

I just wish our team cared this much about losing.

Ja Morant had +42 against Knicks

That was "just" +17 away from NBA all time record.

What Brooks did before that was pretty disrespectful too.

Game was over with 4 min to play, i don't know what should Memphis player do? Walk out?

Guy went for a steal with 48 sec to play. There were at least 2 full possessions to be played. It's not like he took it for layup in last sec like it happend in that College game.

Payton got mad because he got outclassed by rookie who posted one of best plus /minus by a rookie in nba history.
Ja Morant is next generation of Point- God.
