GRIZZ FANS - BREAKING NEWS!

Chandler Parsons traded to the Atlanta Hawks! Happy day, indeed.

The Grizz receive Miles Plumlee and Solomon Hill in return.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I’m giddy.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

I am in shock that it finally happened. Craziest off season ever. It's going to be very interesting to see what the roster ends up looking like.

I don't pay attention to the NBA. Are people pumped b/c this clears cap space, or because they hate parsons, or both?

 

[hatfieldms]

Both. It doesn’t really clear cap space but it breaks the one bad contract into two and is much easier to move a 12 million dollar contract than parsons 25 million

I’m confused as to why Atlanta has any desire to do this, but I won’t worry about that now! Hallelujah!

 

[JungRebel]

They're going in the tank.

 

[Seinfeld]

Yeah, I guess it's just weird to me that they'd take on a $25M expiring deal while losing the flexibility of having a couple $12-13M expiring deals instead. They may have had to wait a little longer, but I feel like they could have easily moved one or both of those at some point down the road for a draft pick or two.

Who knows... maybe they were afraid that Plumlee and Solomon might actually help them win a couple games whereas Chandler's dead weight that may end up getting bought out.

I don't know, but it's another move that I love from the Grizz front office. They managed to keep the same amount of expiring money while adding flexibility and a couple guys that may actually contribute on the court this season. Well done

 

[stateu1]

They wanted to free up a roster spot, therefore the 2 for 1.

And now the Grizzlies trade Korver and jevon Carter to Phoenix for Deanthony Melton, josh Jackson and a couple of second round picks

This probably means they feel better about retaining Delon Wright.
