The Dallas Mavericks had a solid free agency period, getting commitments from shooting guard Wesley Matthews and center DeAndre Jordan. Mavericks small forward Chandler Parsons played an integral role in recruiting both players to the Mavericks, staying in constant touch and even joining the team in the meetings with the free agents.
It paid off with both players coming to the Mavericks, and Parsons wants to add a new title to his pre-game introductions.

Given their bromance it very well could be true. The two went clubbing to sign his contract when he left the Houston Rockets to join Dallas, aside from his integral role as Cuban’s right-hand man while on the free agent trail this summer.
Parsons helped the Houston Rockets beat the Mavericks in the recruiting race for center Dwight Howard. Parsons said it was easier to recruit Dwight to Houston than it was to recruit Jordan.
Parsons said recruiting Dwight was a lot easier than DeAndre. With Dwight, "I just knew I was gonna have to out-recruit Dirk."
