Chandler Parsons thinks he deserves max deal

Chandler Parsons took to Twitter to discuss his contract situation.

On Tuesday morning Dallas Mavericks forward and free agent to-be Chandler Parsons engaged in a Twitter Q&A while waiting for a flight to Los Angeles and did not shy away from any topic.

Even with all the bold statements Parsons made about his impending free agency, this was easily the most shocking statement of the entire Q&A:
