Chandler Parsons

It has been a long time since Chandler Parsons was seen as a reliable NBA player. Back when he first became known with the Houston Rockets, Parsons looked like he was ready for stardom. So much so, that the Dallas Mavericks bit the bullet and signed him to a 4-year $94 million dollar deal.

At the time, no one batted an eye at this contract. Parsons was fresh off averaging 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. At 25-years old, Chandler was supposed to be a star for years to come.

Unfortunately, a number of injuries derailed his career. Now, Parsons is rarely able to appear on the court and has minimal impact when he does play.

If he is bought out of his contract, the Warriors can offer Parsons an amazing opportunity. With the Dubs, Parsons would face very little pressure as all he would need to do is play on the bench and knock down a couple 3-pointers a game. This is a great chance for Parsons to get his career back on track.
