it doesn't work that way. Chandler parson's played like a 10m player last season. How much did Les pay him last season and this upcoming season?
Anyone can refuse a pay cut, and the team can also refuse to pay him. I really hope the Lakers will sign him for a big contract and self-destruct.
Although I get what you're saying, Parsons' room for improvement and expectations are still high and that of a player to get paid like that. Parsons is probably not the best comparison.
thank you Kobe! way to strangle your franchise like that... by the nature of the new CBA, Kobe will take a pay cut whether he likes it or not.
