Chandler Parsons: Is there a world in which Stephen Curry is not possibly a Warrior? Does he ask out? Do they let him like decide to mutually let him go and shop around? Like, how does that situation find? Sam Amick: No, I don't see it. No shot. It's funny because it's like the question, A, is fair, but B, it gets asked outside of the Bay and outside of Northern California a whole lot more than it gets asked here. Because there's just an energy here where it's like, first of all, Steph has never sent any signals that he has any intention of anything other than finishing his career with the Warriors. He still has good relationships with Joe Lacob and Mike Dunleavy Jr and the staff. He still has a level of belief, I think, in them. I mean it's pro sports, so never say never.
Chandler Parsons: "This dude is so checked out. He is so unhappy. He is frustrated, and I don't know every detail of the situation. I don't know what happens in that facility. I know he's becoming a negative impact on this franchise, and on—and in—that locker room. That's just what it feels like. It's always something, man. It's never about basketball. It's never about, you know, him doing what he does best—what he did for years. And I just feel like the last couple years, it's just been all downhill. And again, the media is just doing their job, dude. They're asking Giannis, they're asking Trae Young—like, this is just part of the business. And some uncomfortable questions you have to answer. You have to be a professional. You have to be responsible enough just to answer the questions and take it—and be a pro. And he didn’t. He was just laughing, covering his face... Like, this isn’t a guy that you want to build a franchise around."
Chandler Parsons: Me, Boogie, and Lou Will all agree that LeBron's the GOAT.
Predict what happens next." Chandler Parsons: "Klay Thompson—out of there. Traded. I think he’ll be the first one to go—not that he’s the problem—but teams like the Orlando Magic need shooting. He makes sense for someone like that. I think there’s going to be a domino effect with a lot of moving parts. But at the end of the day, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s 18-year-old Cooper Flagg. That’s something to look forward to, something to rebuild around.
Chandler Parsons: And at the end of the day, no matter how good or talented Ja Morant is, despite everything he’s been through — all the off-court issues, the drama — he’s still auditioning for the 29 other teams. These are teams that might want to invest in him, that might want to make a move assuming he’s truly unhappy in Memphis. But when we start talking about lack of effort — when you’re not giving it your all and you’re out there basically messing with the game — that’s a serious problem.

One of the most influential hoops voices in sports media will be back in action for the NBA’s pivotal 2025–2026 season. Michelle Beadle’s Run It Back has been renewed for a fourth season, a FanDuel spokesman confirmed to Front Office Sports. The sports betting giant is bringing back the show’s entire crew under new contracts, including Beadle, Chandler Parsons, and Lou Williams. Beadle also confirmed her show will be returning via a statement to FOS. “This is our fourth season together and we’ve got this thing running on all cylinders,” she says. “Can’t wait to get back to talking about the best league in the world.”
George Gervin: The Spurs got a good real good news with Fox coming in and Wemby. They got a good nucleus to really put something together. Hey, y'all. Y'all know just like I know: The old era is gone. No LeBron, no Steph. Chandler Parsons: It's a new wave. Gervin: They got the young fellas now. So, everybody, hey, Lou, everybody is gonna be an ex player one day. Lou Williams: That's a fact. That is a fact.
Chandler Parsons: Is Tyrese Haliburton a superstar? George Gervin: When they needed him, he was there. You know what is a superstar? A superstar is someone you can depend on. Someone who takes charge when it's time. He got all the criteria, that's been proved that he is a superstar. So, I'm excited about it. He has some big shots in these playoffs to get them where they are today. So, he done proved to me that he does belong and he should have that title. No doubt.
Chandler Parsons: It’s going to be hard to jump over Bird, KD, and LeBron. Michelle Beadle: Does anybody have him jumping over Bird? Lou Williams: He can jump over guys if you add championships. DeMarcus Cousins: No. Let's not do this. No. Beadle: Not even a little? Cousins: No. Williams: Yes, he can. Cousins: No. Larry Bird? No. Parsons: I don’t want that smoke. I give him maybe Pippen. Beadle: Why wouldn't you put him over Pippen? Kawhi Leonard's been the guy on a championship team. Parsons: Just availability, I suppose, is the only flaw. Beadle: Okay, but when he's there… Williams: Why is Larry Bird untouched? Why is Larry Bird an untouchable in this conversation? I'm not challenging nothing about Larry Bird. I'm asking why is he an untouchable in this conversation when we're throwing out LeBron James, Kevin Durant…We're throwing out so many people, but when it comes to Larry Bird, you’re all shutting down, I don’t understand. Parsons: Three time champ, two-time NBA finals MVP, three-time MVP, 12 time All-Star… Williams: You don't have to tell me, I know exactly who Larry Bird is. Parsons: Nine-time first team. Lary Bird is even a three-time all-defensive team. Cousins: Can we not do this? Williams: Then Larry Bird is number one then, right? Based on your logic. Cousins: No. It’s LeBron James, then Larry Bird.
Calvin Darden Jr., the man who scammed former NBA player Dwight Howard out of millions for an investment in a fake bid for a WNBA team, has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison. Darden Jr. will serve a decade-plus for scamming NBA champion Howard, 39, and former Houston Rockets player Chandler Parsons out of $8 million in a fake bid to buy the Atlanta Dream, Matthew Podolsky, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said on Thursday, April 3.

The district attorney said that Darden had been working with Howard's agent, Charles Briscoe, to see the scam through and had told Howard that a number of affluent names were also signing on as advisors, including Tyler Perry, Issa Rae and tennis star Naomi Osaka. "In truth and in fact, those individuals and companies had never agreed to be advisors or corporate sponsors to the Dream and many had never even heard of Darden Jr.," the statement said.
A Manhattan jury in October convicted Calvin Darden Jr. of cheating Howard -- who had been one of the NBA's most dominant players in his prime -- out of $7 million in a bogus scheme to buy the WNBA's Atlanta Dream. The 50-year-old Atlanta resident was also found guilty of bilking $1 million from former NBA forward Chandler Parsons in a separate ruse involving the development of then-NBA prospect James Wiseman.
Chandler Parsons: There was some playful trash-talking early on. Every time Luka touched the ball, Cuban would start booing him. At one point in the game, Luka looked over to him and said, "Mark, shut up." Everyone around kind of laughed, but it was a good time.
