The Mavericks and Grizzlies have at least internally discussed the possibility of making a deal that would send the fourth overall pick in tomorrow’s draft along with Chandler Parsons to Dallas in exchange for Harrison Barnes. This deal is a move that the Mavericks should absolutely make and they shouldn’t be overly concerned with who is available at pick four or five.
Parsons’ contract is awful. Despite almost never being on the court with his recurring knee injuries, he is due $49 million over the next two seasons. The Mavs would be swallowing the entirety of this deal and would be a major hurdle to clear if they want to be active in free agency again.
