    4 yrs, 94 million. I'll take AC and his contract over Chandy's.

    You lucky dog, I think they have a cream for that. I hear Turner is a FUN-GUY.

    He lives in Memphis, so odds are he'll get hit by one soon enough.

    Yep, the injury has killed his shooting, but still, even on one leg, Chandler Parsons is a better rebounder, better passer and better defender than Allen Crabbe.

    I'm not saying Crabbe was a worse signing. He wasn't. A lot of a player's value is how much time he actually plays. You can't produce if you're not playing, and Crabbe has played 3x as many minutes as Parsons. That alone makes him a "better" signing, but the fact that injured Parsons has a higher TRB%, much higher AST%, higher STL%, higher BLK% and better advanced defensive stats just underscores how one dimensional Crabbe is as a player.

    Of course, Crabbe is shooting the ball WAY better than Parsons. So, that again makes his signing better than the Parsons signing.

    I think the Turner signing is a better comparison to the 2016-17 version of Parsons, since Turner isn't know for his shooting. In this case, Turner has played twice as many minutes as Parsons and is outproducing him across the board. For anyone who still thinks the Turner signing was bad, it could have been worse, a LOT worse.

    But not very good at it. C.J. totally took his lunch money in their twitter fight.

    CJ is a sharp dude. Probably not the best person to tangle with.

    Parsons is constantly in the news and from what I hear, he likes 'em young. Sounds like an Elvis man to me!


    (Sings....) "Treat me like a foooool. Treat me mean and cruuuuel. But love meee."

    Yeah! I'm an Elvis man. Tarantino was right. You're with The King or The Mop Tops.

    There's one pretty significant thing that they left out:

    2015-2016 3pt% - 39.3%
    2016-2017 3pt% - 43.5%

    They also left out that his minutes are also up by 2.5 MPG. That his TRB%, AST%, STL% and BLK% are all down and his TOV% is up. That he basically needs an extra 2.5 MPG to achieve the same raw production.

    But the most significant thing they left out:

    Last Season: $947,276
    This Season: $18,500,000

    Just look at those extra zeros! Same player (slight worse, actually), but 20x the paycheck.

    On a per game basis it looks to me like his TRB, assists, and blks are identical as well.
    But yes his steals have dropped from 0.8 to 0.6 and his TO's have gone way up from 0.8 to o.9 (wow)
