With Houston, Parsons had what was considered the best contract in the NBA, if memory serves, and was praised around the league. Now? He's going to have to justify a max contract, under a microscope the entire time. Enjoy yourself, dude.
Carlisle said he looks tired and out of shape, so expecting him produce the same level over extended minutes rather than get worse seems unlikely.
Chandler was complete garbage starting off last season too. He has motivation issues. Doesn't work on his game as much as he should in the off season
From 4 days ago but still awesome: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Wow looks like a sellout in Dallas tonight.

Chandler's actually the same weight as he was last year. It's just that there's noone to carry the weight for him anymore.
Wow demonization @ it's worse. You guys forget all the great Parsons plays that saved many games. The thing I hate most about defending Parsons is if Harden makes true on his defensive endeavor and Ariza doesn't have to commit so much help defense. But we'll see.
