That deal was made possible by Dirk Nowitzki, who took a ~$15 million pay cut to help the Mavericks maintain cap flexibility to go after a big-name player like Parsons.
Nowitzki was the second highest-paid player in the NBA in 2013-14, making $22.7 million. His new three-year, $25 million deal with the Mavericks will pay him around $8 million per year.
However, Dirk isn't letting Parsons forget that he gave up a bunch of money to bring Parsons onto the team:
Dirk on Parsons: "I told him every dinner on the road this year is on him, because it's my money anyway."

Dirk!
Parsons is now the highest-paid Maverick, making $14.7 million this season, followed by Tyson Chandler, Monta Ellis, and then Nowitzki.
So Nowitzki (the Mavericks' all-time leader in games, minutes, three-pointers made and attempted, and points) actually has plenty of people to take him out to dinner this year.
