Chandler Parsons could re-sign with the Dallas Mavericks but he looks forward to being recruited by other franchises.

"He'll be all ears," one source said.

Parsons' camp remains confident of signing a max contract starting around $22 million despite a series of injuries during his tenure with the Mavericks. Sources say multiple renowned orthopedic specialists have given Parsons clearance to resume full basketball activities and expressed optimism that his knee would not prevent him from having a long, productive NBA career.

The Mavericks appear to prefer to sign Hassan Whiteside and Mike Conley with their cap space.

Dallas has made it clear to Parsons they don't intend to offer him a max contract.
