Mavericks' Chandler Parsons ready to turn friendship with Dwight Howard into recruiting talks in free agency

In Sam Amick's story in USA Today on "perplexing" free agent candidate Dwight Howard, Mavericks forward and former Howard teammate Chandler Parsons discussed his desire to bring the Rockets big man to Dallas.

"I'm talking to him (routinely), obviously, and we share the same agent with Dan Fegan," Parsons said. "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).
