From Stein:
?Derrick Jones Jr., league sources say, gave consideration to signing with Miami before opting to ink a one-year veteran minimum deal with Dallas on Aug. 18.
Also in Mavsland: As I first reported last Tuesday, Dallas intends to waive-and-stretch veteran center JaVale McGee before this Thursday’s deadline after it was unable to work McGee into a trade this offseason. The move is an acknowledgment from the Mavericks that they missed badly with the three-year, $17.2 million deal they extended to McGee last summer and going the waive-and-stretch route will spread the remaining $11.7 million into five annual salary-cap hits of $2.3 million.
