The Chandler Parsons signing in Memphis started out as the prospect of adding a 6'10" ratchet shooter. It was the prospect of holding the biggest free agent signing in franchise history for Chris Wallace. Unfortunately, it was defined by a beleaguered expensive forward that never got right for the Grizzlies. The good news is, it's over.
Memphis has agreed to trade Chandler Parsons to Atlanta for Solomon Hill and Miles Plumlee, league sources tell ESPN.
