Amazingly, two of the deals turned out well. Conley signed what was, at the time, the richest contract in NBA history: a five-year, $153 million deal to stay with us in Memphis. He played well enough to return two first-round picks near the end of that contract. And James Ennis signed with us on a two-year, $6 million deal for our cap room exception. He ended up starting for us in the playoffs. Alas, the other deal didn’t work out so well: Chandler Parsons signed a four-year, $94 million deal with us that, of course, went down as one of the biggest lemon contracts in NBA history. I won’t get into the details of how that decision came about, but I will say that we weren’t alone. That day, several of the worst contracts of the current century came into being.
Jorge Sierra: Utah would be Dennis Schroeder's ninth NBA team. Only five players have been with more teams before their age 32 season (none of Dennis' caliber): Chucky Brown, Damon Jones, Ish Smith, James Ennis and Kevin Ollie.

Both Durant and Nash acknowledged the team's intensity wasn't where it needed to be from the start. "It's natural when a team is missing so many players," Durant said when asked why the Nets' attitude was the way it was. "They're going through so much over there. [We] relaxed. You don't think you could lose an NBA game like this. They're missing how many guys? They're playing guys that are up from the G League. Xavier Moon came in and hit some shots for them. Keon Johnson, James Ennis -- they all made an impact I felt on the game, and I think we came in too chill to start."
