Does it look like Chandler Parsons has a weight problem?

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle on Friday mentioned that Chandler Parsons was "a little bit heavier than he's been" -- saying that the 6-foot-9 forward weighed more than 230, and that he'd like to get him down to 225.

Parsons didn't exactly share his mentality.

"His opinion of 'heavy' is different than mine," said Parsons. "We kind of go at it every day about it.'' Parsons added that he concentrated on bulking up over the summer.

And while the two may have had a minor difference in opinion, Parsons ultimately deferred to his coach. "At the end of the day, I respect (Carlisle's) opinion,'' Parsons said. "After training camp, my weight fluctuates. I'll get it down."

Well, Parsons couldn't exactly let that be the final word on the issue. Saturday, he posted a shirtless photo of himself on Instagram.

The caption was simply an emoji of a pig.

Funny, yes. Smart? To be determined.
