The Memphis Grizzlies have signed unrestricted free agent Chandler Parsons to a four-year, $94 million max deal.
After two injury-filled seasons in Dallas, Parsons was not offered the max by the Mavericks. The 27-year-old wing reportedly received a maximum contract from the Blazers, but Parsons ultimately decided that Memphis was the better fit.

Parsons represents the first significant free agent to ever choose the Grizzlies. Deal was done in meeting with Parsons and agent Dan Fegan.
