    Chandler Parsons is out for the rest of the year and he'll underwent another knee surgery.

    Neil Olshey in only one offseason was able to overpay for Evan Turner, Allen Crabbe, Chandler Parsons and also sign the cadaver of Ezeli.

    How can this man still have a job? oh wait, we all know why... Isaac Ropp knows it even better.

    Wait, we overpaid for Chandler Parsons?

    Why the hell is he not on our team?

    *hint* wording is key here.

    Neil has his issues, but Crabbe is not one of them. Dude is 3rd in the NBA for 3 point %.

    Do the math Einstein. If he would have signed Parsons for $94 million he would not have been able to also sign Turner and Ezeli, and may not have matched Crabbe.

    So, now we're criticizing the GM for things that not only didn't happen, but could not have possibly happened? You also left out Whiteside. He was our number one free agent target, but I guess since he's having a great year, he doesn't count.

    Not our problem. He never signed.

    Besides, the wording made it sound like we signed him and he's on our team.

    Oh wait, there's a saying for this:

    FAKE NEWS! ALTERNATIVE FACTS!

    Isaac, is that you? Welcome to the forum. Sorry, not sorry, you lost your job on Talking Ball. It most really suck knowing they preferred Dwight Jaynes and Jason Quick over you.

    Oh well, maybe you can have a nice rant on your show today about how Olshey sucks because he let LaMarcus Aldridge walk for nothing. You know, pick at a scab from the distant past to try to bring down all the current excitement over Nurkmania and the push to make the playoffs. Heaven forbid we should let these stoopid fans get all excited over something like winning. It's much more fun to tear things down than to build them up.

    Yeah, it really sucks for us that Parsons has been injured and unproductive. Exactly how, I'm note sure, but I guess Olshey is the GM in MEM, too, or something like that. Apparently, he also overpaid Mike Conley. Better add that one to the list, too. Don't want to miss out on the chance to bash Olshey for something he didn't do.

    Homers keep saying that Olshey never pursued Whiteside. That was just a board rumor, they say. He has succeeded at everything, and if he didn't, it must have been a board rumor.

    On the other hand, I wish the OP had worked this into some existing thread instead of starting one. It gave Boob an excuse to pad his pontification count.

    I am not going to get on Olshey's ass for things that almost but didn't happen. He may have paid to much for Turner and Crabbe, but they are both coming along, plus he just traded for the Bosnian beast. So, stop nipping at his ass like a chihuahua with rabies. Also, stop trolling, if you are going to create threads please stick to posts that have some kind of substance and are based in reality. Have some forethought. Cheers.

    Overpaying means we are in the luxury tax? How big is our bill?

    Evidently, Whiteside is in on the board rumor:

    Of course, making Whiteside our first choice in free agency doesn't fit the OP's agenda. So, he conveniently left it out, but included our other non-singing of Chandler Parsons to further his agenda (aka: trolling).
