The Dallas Mavericks and free agent center Nerlens Noel aren’t exactly seeing eye-to-eye during contract negotiations.

According to reports, Noel is seeking approximately $20 million while the Mavericks are only offering $12-15 million.

I've been told he wants around $20M and Mavs want to pay around $12-15M. They'll probably meet in the middle around $15-18M to start. https://t.co/IiFsYIzhXu

If the two sides can’t agree on a deal, Noel will become an unrestricted free agent a year from now, which would allow him to sign with any team that shows interest in him.
