    Even if you were 5'6, that's still crazy skinny.

    Maybe you're just bad at measuring things.

    If you saw him at the World Cup practices he was even bigger than he is now. I remember thinking he was fat as can get. I don't think he was doing any lifting except food and drinks while he partied. This guy is a good player but for 15 mil you better be a wrk horse or have God given all world talent. And the guy has neither.

    C'mon guys we all knew Chandler Parsons is a pretty boy who's very concerned about being able to participate in "suns out guns out".

    Remember when he was on TNT and they asked him about those Christmas jerseys and he was like, "Yeah I liked how tight they were because they made me look jacked?"

    His reasoning: "I wanna bulk up so I can play PF"

    Actual reasoning: "I wanna get jacked and look good, but if I say that I will look like a douche, so I'm gonna go ahead and say it's because I need to play PF"

    Looks like coach Carlisle isn't happy with his new max-superstar...



    Note to Parsons: when you go 1/6 from downtown, shut up & listen to your coach.

    I couldn't agree more. Parsons is not a max player, he was a solid glue guy. CP will have his moments in Dallas, but I don't believe there will be enough of them to think that losing him at that amount of money was a mistake by Morey.


    I take Ariza and his contract over what Parsons got 100/100 times.

    I agree with you. You are leaning towards the thinner side of 6'0 but that's not a bad thing.

    I am 5'8 and I weigh 135 and Id have to say I look pretty skinny but Im still attractive looking (ladies let me know ;) )

    but if you weigh 120 and you are 5'8 (which I used to weigh) I think you need to bulk up. I used to be very insecure at that weight level because people would often tell me I was super skinny. I think between 128-150 is the healthy weight range for 5'8.

    PS. manlets kickass. I can shot block 6'3 fools and touch rim on regulation :grin:

    Those guys cut water weight to make the weigh in. They are actually over 130.

    You guys can thank me and all of my genius. Remember when that chick posted Parsons' cell phone number? Well, I sent him a couple of texts after the **** storm died down (but before he got a new line) saying something to get his attention (nothing mean, but something clever) followed by my last text which was:

    I'm hungry

    Very carefully and meticulously constructed. Simple, but efficient. I mean, he has all that money to spend during the off-season. After he takes care of the car and the houses, what else does he need? Food. He must have thought to himself when he read that text he never has to worry about budgeting for food again in his life because he is so rich. Anyways, keep it on the down low.

    I don't wish him an injury, but if he gets fat...well....it worsens a hated division rival in a tough WC.

    Not sure where the idea that McHale is a pushover came from. I would rather have Carlisle than McHale, however McHale has never been afraid to go at his players.

    Chandler "The Chin" Lardsons.

    He took up Felton's advice on his diet.

    That's the problem.

    We all loved him when he was a 800k role player.

    When you pay extra for something you expect something more. They are already expecting him to be more than really what he is, and the kind of player he is.

    the real winner here is parsons. He gets paid and he gets to bulk up. The ladies love that vs. the pigeon chest he's been sporting. you guys just don't understand priorities.

    Everyone knows you gotta make the money first. parsons gets the power. Then he can get even more women. basketball is not anywhere near the top.

    The issue here is that doesn't really lend to being an 'important' piece on an NBA team. He got away with it as a role player making 800k as a feel good story out of the 2nd round. now..well.

    Asking a role player to be an important piece is scary proposition and I don't doubt for a second that carlisle wasn't the slightest involved. That's not a good sign either. this was all cuban and definitely funny if parsons plays like a role player. 'but that's what he is?' well yeah..but he can't be important?

    the real question is can a role player be important? how important is a key role player?

    If they can digest an important role player making near max cash then I guess. We will know by all star break. If I were parsons I would get injured. That might be his best move for now. Chill and bang more sluts.

    I think he just didn't play any basketball over the offseason to avoid injury and got fat. He will get back in shape by christmas. carlisle will be frustrated by then but it doesn't matter.

    dan fegan made that contract untradeable Cuban, if Parsons wants to bulk you can't do much about it. Good luck.
