Chandler Parsons on signing max deal with Memphis Grizzlies: I was all in on Portland. I was like, we can cancel the Memphis offer, I’m going to Portland and play with Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum… this is great. Then JB Bickerstaff and David Fizdale, who are my family, they had just gotten the head coaching job at Memphis and I said let’s just take the meeting. And also they had Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Zach Randolph… They had a squad too. So we’re at Dan Fegan’s house in the Memphis meeting. And I see Fegan is getting red and kind of getting weird. Then five minutes later he says ‘hey, let’s take a break’. We’ll meet back up in five, and he’s like ‘CP come here’. I go to his room with him and he’s like ‘you’re going to Memphis’. And I’m like, what do you mean? And he goes ‘Portland is going to give you a physical and because of Greg Oden and Brandon Roy’s injury history, you might not pass. Trust me, if you do that and they red-flag you you’re taking a minimum deal and you’re smoked out that 95 million’. I was on Zillow looking at houses in Portland! Then I go back in there and I… Oscar performance [laughs] I go back in there… ‘Listen guys, I’ve never been more sure about something in my life. Grit and grind till the day I die [laughs]. I’m in!’ That was just another Dan Fegan crazy story. That was nuts. This man did it again.
