I suppose it depends on how successful the Mavericks postseason is, and how impactful he is in it, but DJJ has been around a long time. He’s not playing any better this year than he usually does, it’s just that he fits on this team a little bit better and was given more of a chance at a role because the Mavericks were desperate for athletic ability.
My point is that unless he drains like 25 threes in the playoffs, which I find unlikely, I’m not sure the league is going to look at him that much differently than they did this past summer, when he had to wait around till the very end and sign for the minimum.
Moreover, if I were he, I would want desperately to come right back here on whatever 1-year deal I could get so that I could continue in this role that is working for me, and so that Dallas could have my bird rights the following summer.
