#7 Chandler Parsons
While we should never judge a contract based on the injury history of a player ever since the fact remains that Chandler Parsons had had legitimate health concerns during his time at Dallas.
On top of that, Parsons' best scoring average had come in his contract year with the Rockets, capping out at 16.6 points per game.

And yet, the Grizzlies gambled on him with a contract close to the max at 4 years and $94 million. Through two seasons in Tennessee now, Parsons has only played 70 total games, at an average of fewer than 20 minutes per game.
His contributions have literally been nothing to write home about, and the Grizzlies are in contractual hell for the next two years.
At least they drafted well this time around, getting one of the most NBA-ready players in the draft with Jaren Jackson Jr.
They don't have a first-round pick next year, and they'd rather be hoping that Parsons returns to some semblance of the form he showed with the Mavericks and the Rockets and that they'd be able to get some kind of production out of him.
