Former Houston Rockets forward Chandler Parsons has a reputation for being one of the league's best recruiters, but apparently James Harden isn't so bad at himself.

With veteran free agent guard on the fence between staying in Houston or signing with another contender, Harden stepped up and made it known he was wanted there.

Here's what Terry told Mark Berman of MyFoxHouston.com:

"No question, he was all over me," Terry said. "(Harden) basically wasn't letting me go anywhere. That was tough for me knowing how important I am to his growth and his development."You're not the main guy, but the main guy needs you. It makes it a lot easier to come back."
