I actually think he’s a better player than Grant Williams other than Williams’ outstanding 3-point shooting. I think a 2-year, $10 million dollar deal with the 2nd-year being a team option would be a good value deal. I think he’d be a good rotation player for us. I remain concerned that Cuban’s primary concerns with the Mavericks are financial and that he is not willing to spend the money to be competitive.
Jones is too good a fit for the Mavericks otherwise. I think Griffin could be useful too though and he would be cheaper for Cuban…who seems to prefer the cheaper options these days.
I'd rather that spot be for grooming a much younger player. We know what DJJ will contribute. which is minimal.
