    Not a bad price to pay for a top flight point guard.

    Chandler is making about 3 million more over three years so hopefully he can hold his frustration inside. As Chandler has achieved so much more in the NBA than Parker I agree he is probably offended.

    So why isn't Parsons coming out and calling this contract "ridiculous"??

    How Pop managed to underpay Parker and Ginobili in their entire careers is mind boggling.

    Every thread is now a Parsons thread.

    Back on topic. With TP being 32, that is one untradeable contract! Is signing TP going to make up for lost scoring, assists and rebounds that the team got out of Cap Room and Flexibility last year? Leonard might have gotten the FMVP, but I think the award could've easily gone to Cap Room or Flexibility instead.

    Considering he doesn't have to play > 30 minutes per game or play all 82 games for the Spurs to have the best record it's probably the right price.

    Probably? We're talking about a 4 time champion, former FMVP getting paid somewhere between Trevor Ariza and Chandler Parsons. It's more than the right price.

    When Parker is on his game, he can sometimes sneak into the conversation for top 5 or top 10 MVP candidates.

    tp is very underrated cuz his team can be great without him, when parker is on his game, he makes no less impact than anyone no named lbj or kd

    Well that's maybe a little excessive but sure I'll buy that. The real secret to Parker's game is his un-guardable, mid range floater. The timing is so wonky that it's effectively un-blockable. When he hits that at like a 60%+ clip and he takes 5 or 6 per game (hitting ~3 of them for an easy 6 points), that usually catapults him into top 10 MVP candidate territory.

    When his floater is off, it really takes a toll on his overall impact on the game. His floater then opens up the lane even more for him to drive past bigs, which in turn opens up the perimeter for his shooters. It's like a domino effect.
