On January 19, 2022, Beijing time, another player familiar to the NBA announced his retirement, that is, chandler Parsons, the "rich coach" of the former Rockets! According to Shams, 9-year NBA veteran Chandler Parsons retired from basketball. He was injured in a car accident in January 2020 and eventually led to the end of his career in a lawsuit that has been settled in a huge sum.
As the second round of the 2011 show, Parsons' career has actually been very successful, but in addition to success, it is actually somewhat magical. After being drafted by the Rockets, he played all-Star level improvement in his first three seasons, averaging 28.6 minutes per game and averaging 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals, making him one of the most consistent rookies.
In the second season, he averaged 36.3 minutes per game, averaging 15.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists, and in his third season, he averaged 37.6 minutes per game, with 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists! By the end of his third season, he had become one of the hottest strikers in the league! Then, when he became a restricted free agent, the Lone Rangers fired him from a three-year, $45 million contract, the Rockets did not choose to match the contract, and eventually he signed a three-year, $46.08 million contract with the Lone Rangers. However, no one expected that the last season with the Rockets would be the peak of his career!
Then in the first season of the Lone Rangers, He averaged 15.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, which was worthy of the contract given to him by the team, but then he was plagued by injuries, the reality suffered a knee injury, and then underwent arthroscopic surgery, repaired the meniscus of his right knee, and after returning from injury, his state has declined to a certain extent, but he is still a potential risk, after jumping out of the contract, he signed a big contract with the Grizzlies for 4 years and 94.8 million US dollars, and in the three seasons after joining the Grizzlies, he only played 95 games, and the season with the highest average score per game was only 7.9 points, which has completely disappeared from the crowd!
The Hawks then traded for Parsons, but was cut shortly after and never returned to the league. In those nine seasons of his career, he only played 440 regular season games, averaging 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, but he paid $127 million, which is really amazing!
