[Amick] Chandler Parsons will try to recruit Dwight Howard...again

RV6 · Feb 3, 2016

Another team that has long been tied to Howard, the Dallas Mavericks, is known to have no interest in giving Howard a max-salary deal. That could always change, of course, but it’s noteworthy considering the lay of the land: the Mavericks have a center in Zaza Pachulia who will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, two other starters who can become free agents (small forward Chandler Parsons has a player option worth $16 million; point guard Deron Williams has a player option worth $5.6 million) and a restricted free agent in third-year forward Dwight Powell.

Parsons, it should be noted, played a significant role in the recruitment of Howard to Houston before his surprising exit in the summer of 2014 (he signed a three-year, $46 million deal as a restricted free agent that the Rockets chose not to match). And while the max money factor is clearly a concern for the Mavericks’ decision makers, Parsons told USA TODAY Sports recently that the friendship between him and Howard has been rekindled and he would welcome the chance to play with him again.

“For sure,” Parsons said. “I’m talking to him (routinely), obviously, and we share the same agent with Dan Fegan … Obviously I have a really close relationship with Dwight and one year wasn’t enough playing with him in Houston. I was a big reason why he went there, so I’ll have to revisit that when the time is appropriate. The relationship I had with him, and making him feel comfortable, that was big (in Houston).

“We still talk all the time … We’re friends, on and off the court. And I don’t just do it because he’s a free agent. It’s just a relationship we’ve built over the years. He still has a lot left in the tank. You look at the playoffs last year, and he was dominant … When he’s healthy he can go, and he’s one of the most dominant players in the league, so I’m a big fan of his game.”

Yeah, got that sleazeball agent. Anything is possible.

And the whole "Do you want to pay him the money he's looking for?" over the next 3-5 years

OmegaSupreme · Feb 3, 2016

sure. the deandre thing worked out pretty well.

jim1961 · Feb 3, 2016

I was worried, even mad the first time. This round, he has all my support :grin:

rocketsballin · Feb 3, 2016

pretty boy needs a big black guy to keep him satisfied . didnt get dj so now he's going after dwight

malakas · Feb 3, 2016

so almost every reputable journalist has now chimed in on the situation with his sources. Woj (through Mannix) , Stein, and now Amick.
Too much smoke. Too much misdirection and leaks from teams.
This one looks to be from Dallas, tellign everyone that" no matter if you trade for Dwight now, we are gonna go after him and pay him enough to get him away from you unless you pay max. Otherwise he's just a rent". Which is to lower his market value.

Didn't Morrey on purpose tried to derail the Rondo talks to raise his price?
Looks like some of the same poison here.

So Parsons opting out and rejoining his good friend Howard in Houston, who he would love to play with again?

LOL b**** please. Dwight only looked your way because you were carrying Harden's jock strap. This fckn guy...

For the life of me, never understood why ppl believe Dwight came to Houston to win a title with Parsons.

It was always about Harden, Dream and Coach McHale. Period.

daywalker02 · Feb 3, 2016

Houston made Parsons, and Portions never gave a positive feedback when he left

Newlin · Feb 3, 2016

Parsons can recruit all he wants. Does he really think Dallas, even with Howard, will be better than the Warriors? I don't think so.

**** that they are better than us... this team should be embarrassed. If Dwight goes there who knows how good they can be.

They have a real coach and McHale isnt here to best Carlisle anymore.
