As I sat watching the San Antonio Spurs versus Memphis Grizzlies underwhelming and lopsided playoff matchup, continually procrastinating on the homework which would never get done, a thought popped into my head. What if rather than letting Chandler Parsons walk in free agency, the Dallas Mavericks re-signed the walking knee-injury, and accordingly the Mavs’ Southwest Division rival Memphis snagged Harrison Barnes?
Barnes and Parsons will forever be compared due to the circumstances of their free agency and the fact that they play similar roles. The comparison isn’t worth much currently, as Parsons has been severely underperforming in his first year in Memphis while Barnes thrived despite the negative feedback after his signing.
