Chandler Parsons

Fresh off handing Chandler Parsons $46 million, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban didn’t want him playing for Team USA, risking injury and, more importantly, putting his investment in harm’s way. Go figure. Here’s what Parsons had to say after he threw out the first pitch at a Texas Rangers game, via The Dallas Morning News‘ [...]

Why yes, Mark Cuban does hold (playful) grudges. Speaking on KRLD-FM 105.3 The Fan, the Dallas Mavericks owner admitted that he wanted to best Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey in free agency this past summer, per The Dallas Morning News: On if things are personal with the Rockets with Daryl Morey: “Oh, all good [...]

When the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets meet next season, playing nice is out of the question. Crap is going to get real brutal, real quick. Tensions are going to boil over. They're already boiling over. Since leaving the Rockets for the Mavericks, Chandler Parsons has been vocal about the entire process, commending Dallas and [...]
