Dallas Mavericks and Chandler Parsons have mutually agreed to a 3 year $45 million contract. Mavericks is calling the bluff made by Houston Rockets and have agreed to the terms of the restricted free agent and small forward, Chandler Parsons.

Parsons was drafted by the Houston Rockets in the 2011 NBA draft and has since then been with the team up to now. The 25 year old forward averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assist last season. It has been known that Rockets vowed to use their rights to match a counter offer for their player and they have three days to make their resolution.

Following the 2011-12 NBA Season, Parsons was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. In 2013, he was able to reach a then career high 32 points, along with 3 rebounds and 3 assists, in a 136-103 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. He was also able to make 12 of his 13 field goal attempts which include 6 of 7 three points.

His most recent career highlights includes an NBA record in January 2014 where he made 10 three-pointers in the second half of the Rockets' 88-87 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. He was also able to set a career high with 34 points in the same game.

The Dallas Mavericks made sure that their timing was right in offering the contract to Parson as Houston is currently pursuing Chris Bosh and in any case, would be pre occupied in dealing with the offer sheet of Bosh and will let go of Parson. Rockets have offered a max contract to the 30 year old Bosh worth $88 million for four years. Because of this large offer sheet, Rockets would need to do some cost cutting on their part in order to be able to offer such amount.

If ever Rockets makes a counter offer for Parsons, this will definitely jeopardize the team's effort in securing Bosh to Houston. But with the improving performance of Parsons, Houston would be having a hard time on the decision that they have to make to improve their lineup. Line ups will be much clearer once free agents will sign up on their contracts.
