Despite his strong end of the season for the Dallas Mavericks, in which he averaged 11.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks over 12 games, Kai Jones remains unsigned in free agency this summer. Unless the unexpected somehow happens, the Mavericks and Jones will likely be heading separate ways next season, which is a major shock considering how well he played for Dallas on a two-way deal in a less-than-ideal circumstance.
Toward the end of last season, the Mavericks cut Kylor Kelly to make room for Jones as one of the team's three two-way players, and he did not disappoint.
