Conflicting Reports Emerge on Derrick Jones Jr.’s Future With Mavericks

Derrick Jones Jr.’s Decision ‘Casts Doubt’ on Staying

All eyes will be on Derrick Jones Jr.‘s future after his breakthrough season with the Dallas Mavericks.

With the Mavericks, he had a breakout season, averaging career-highs in nearly every statistic.

He turned out to be a great deal for the Mavericks on a veteran’s minimum salary.

A wage increase commensurate with his output will be granted, roughly equivalent to the non-taxpayer mid-level

exception. Alternatively put, about $13 million.

The Mavericks are hoping Jones stays, according to NBA Insider Marc Stein’s X account.

He noted their desire to add Klay Thompson, but he also underlined their optimism.

Thompson is expected to leave the Golden State Warriors in free agency, according to Shams Charania of The

Athletic. Thompson may very well be added by the Mavericks without detracting from their attempts to retain Jones.

But it all depends on how they go about doing it.

According to Tim Cato of The Athletic, Jones’ most recent choice may have an impact on their prospects.

Cato revealed all the information on June 30.

“Derrick Jones Jr., who started for the Dallas Mavericks during their NBA Finals run, is expected to become a free

agent on Sunday night without having a representation agency, according to a league source.”Longtime NBA writer

Marc Stein revealed on Friday that Jones was joining Rich Paul’s Klutch Sports after parting ways with longtime

agent Aaron Turner. However, as initially reported by Yahoo’s Jake Fischer, athletes who choose to switch

representation must wait 15 days before signing with a new agency in accordance with NBA rules.
