It kind of is. You paid to receive a meal and yet you stuck with bad feeling in the stomach and it even tasted like ****. Plus it gives you nasty farts next day.

Here is how I break it down: When was the money spent? Where else could the money be spent?
For Parsons, his contract has crippled the Grizzlies' ability to build very well around Conley and Gasol.
As for Exum, we spent money on Exum AFTER we signed Favors. We had no cap room after we signed Favors so keeping Exum was almost a no brainer because it was keep Exum or hope to use our mid-level. Since we absolutely suck at getting good free agents to come here, we had to pull the trigger to bring him back. Bringing back Exum, though overpaid and maybe a bust, didn't really impact us financially this season. If you're like me and have close to no faith that our FO can sign a big fish this summer, it's not really going to hurt us next season either.

And I mean, if we’re being real and if you do the math, it’s really like if Exum were a $10 Big Mac, Parsons would be a $22 Applebee’s burger. Not as big of a price margin as you infer.

There were a few MLE type guys this summer I’d rather us of have tried for than Exum, for sure. Even if we didn’t sign anyone, for flexibility’s sake, I’d rather pay $0 for no production than pay $11M for no production. Even if we can’t sign people we can absorb contracts for assets and the like.

I wonder if Exum has ever gotten laid. Seems like a virgin. And he’s definitely not a man. Dude is such a pansy.
I guess my point is, if he got laid on the reg, maybe his junk would drop and he’d start playing like a man on a mission rather than a confused little eunuch.

Parsons signed a $94 million deal when the salary cap was in the $85 million range. Exum signed a $30 million deal when the cap was $102. Pretty massive difference.

And even though we signed Exum, we still could have used the MLE. But, of course, we didn't do jack ****.
I would rather spend $0 than $11 if we are getting nothing, but $11 isn't that crippling compared to $26. And back to my original point, don't spend $11 if you aren't going to play it. And if you want to dump $11, play that $11 in the hopes that somebody wants to buy it. Nobody is going to buy $11 they don't get to see.

Definitely not if it's in the back of the warehouse where nobody can see it.

See his suckiness? You don't know anything professional GMs of a multi-billion dollar league don't. You can't fool them. And if he actually is good and explodes with minutes, then why would you want to trade him? You make no sense.
