Goddamn.

I bet the agent is not happy with the lawyers wording going into a contract year. No idea of the severity (initial reports didn't seem that bad), but it read a lot like a lawyer trying to get the publicity.

Parsons was done anyways.

What a weird end to his career though

Parsons is done as an NBA player. The world has known that for years. But the guys at Morgan and Morgan will have a lawsuit claiming that he was on the verge of getting another $90mm contract but for this accident. And the DUI driver likely doesn't have any funds to pay this, so they'll be looking for a big insurance settlement score.

This is pretty similar to Mike Dunleavy, Sr. At the end of his career with the Bucks, the plane the team was on came up to the gate and made an abrupt stop. Dunleavey fell down, sued the airline and got what was presumed to be a nice settlement for a "career ending injury".

However, Dunleavy's career was basically over at that point anyways, and he had disobeyed FAA directives to stay seated and buckled until the plane was firmly planted at the gate. But he got the cash.

I hope Chandler Parsons knows he can handle this with one call, that’s all!

Our actual management posted a lineup with the starting 2 guard being Tony Snell.

I'd rather we start load managing all of our players so they are as fresh for the playoffs as Kawhi was last season.

Our starters barely play. Mpg is crazy low for all our starters compared to every other team

It's more important to keep games low than minutes low. Players can play 40 minutes no problem. My issue is the 82 game season.

I don't watch a lot of non bucks BBALL but I really thought he was an excellent coach not all that long ago...my guess is he is struggling to adjust to the post hinkie roster more than anything

Thybulle and Simmons are allowed to maul Nets players when playing defense.

Who in the NBA has these big triple double games whilst also completely dominating defensively?
1. Giannis
2. Simmons
3. ??????????

CP3 with 27 points at half against Houston. Jrue Holiday with 21 at the half and taking it to Morant.

Sixers go from being down double digits to the Nets to being title contenders again because they locked them down in the 4th :lol:

Kyrie’s troll game is up there with the best ever. Today he compared his injury lay-off to struggles MLK faced.

When Harden has a bad game he makes sure they are actually like the worst games ever played by an NBA player. 1-17 from 3 today.
