Mavs Rumors: JJ Barea Wants To Stay In Dallas

Veteran Dallas Mavericks guard JJ Barea will become a free agent once again this July, but he has no intention of testing the waters if the Mavs want him back.

"I want to. I want to and hopefully this time we make it work," Berea said, via Mavs Moneyball. "I had a lot of fun this year. I enjoyed being back. It feels like home for me here in Dallas so hopefully I can come back and finish my career here for the next couple years."

Barea left Dallas in free agency back in 2011, but he doesn't see a similar situation coming about this time around.

"It's going to be a little different," he said. "I think at that point I had to make a decision. This time I think it'll be a lot easier to keep me around."
