What's the next step for the Dallas Mavericks after the first weekend of the 2015 NBA free agency period? Find out in our Mavs Free Agency Rumors Roundup For July 6th.
Jason Terry set for a Dallas return?
Dallas has emerged as legitimate title contenders since signing center DeAndre Jordan, allowing them to attract more veteran role players. One of which is Jason Terry, who has spent eight of his 16 seasons in the NBA with the Mavs and helped them win the 2011 championship.
Both sides have already talked about a return, according to the Dallas Morning News, but Terry's camp is still weighing their options. He averaged 9.2 points per game for the Houston Rockets in the playoffs while serving as the team's starting point guard.
Mavs Want Both JJ Barea And Jeremy Lin?
According to Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News, the Mavs are in "negotiations with guard J.J. Barea, who they want to keep. It also appears Jeremy Lin, who began his NBA journey on a Mavericks’ summer-league team, is in the Mavericks’ crosshairs. The problem is that all the Mavericks have to spend is the $2.8-million salary-cap exception and minimum contracts.
They could create another $2.6-million if they were to waive point guard Raymond Felton under the stretch provision, where he is paid his final year’s salary over several years."
Felton's 2014-15 debut with the Mavs was held up by injury and a suspension, and he was a back-of-the-rotation piece when he returned. Dumping him off in hopes of landing a player with bigger upside in Lin might be a tact Mark Cuban and the front office consider.
Charlie Villanueva "good bet" to re-sign with Mavs
According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, forward Charlie Villanueva is a "good bet" to re-sign with the Mavs. He averaged 6.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.6 minutes per game for Dallas last year.
