Doubt any team is stupid enough to offer him a long term deal with his knee and chronic back issue, let alone a max.
Would you rather pay 23 mil to Parsons or to Barnes? That's the question. For sure Orl and LAL will offer him max. No doubt about it. They are both desperate.
MacMahon: Parsons is going over his list, checking it twice. He's narrowing down the list of teams [to meet with]. MacMahon mentioned teams like Lakers, Magic, Nuggets, Pelicans, Grizzlies, Nets, & Blazers. He fancies himself as a 4/3. (Power forward first)

Parsons is damaged goods. No one in the right mind would pay this guy the amount of $$ he is looking for.
