The only entity I saw reporting this was 105.3 The Fan. Is Jerry funneling this through them, since they are the flagship station? The Fan is a clownshow and operates like high school lunchroom gossip. I see PFT and NBC running with it, but the only thing they quote is the vague The Fan "report". Clarence Hill said no one of any authority has these opinions of Parsons. So not sure if Jerry and company are just dangling this out there to see how much traction this gains. And if this is really the case, who the fuck would want to sign here long term knowing the front office runs internal smear campaigns when it comes time for contract talk.
Is it Parsons platform of his podcast and how active he is on social media the issue? I do agree he's pretty corny in how he comes across on there but my biggest beef is how he disappears 3 years in a row in the playoffs. That is definitely a legit conversation to have to see if the massive contract he is about to get is really warranted. Could also be how they use him through the year, where he just runs out of gas by the end of the season. Parsons is going to get paid regardless, either from Dallas or another team. Trading Parsons immediately signals a rebuild. But wouldn't trust this front office to get full value for Parsons. Notorious for overpaying when trading for a player and getting way under market value when trading a player (see Amari Cooper).
