I figured this should get a forum on here. If you'd have told us in 2014 he'd be out of the league 7 years later and it we wouldn't even note it, we'd have thought the Bucks would have been on their way to or already in Seattle.

The Kings released Jabari Parker on March 25th. I didn't even see it until a few days ago. It looks his career is over at 26. It's hard to feel sorry for a guy that made 54 million playing basketball, but you have to feel for him at least a little bit. A guy who embraced being drafted by Milwaukee, invested in the community, and blew out his knee twice. It's not clear he was ever going to be a star even without the injuries, but the knee problems robbed him of any lateral quickness he had to begin with (which was marginal). At worst, I thought he'd be what Middleton has become - a borderline all-star who was a knockdown shooter. Instead, he became a 2020-level Kyle Korver liability on the defensive end. Some of it was lack of effort, but a lot was the knee problems.
