The Mavericks will quietly be pushed into a financial corner following P.J. Washington's new deal.
By all signs, the Dallas Mavericks have rounded out their roster ahead of the 2025-26 season after completing the signing of Dante Exum and extending P.J. Washington, which was the last major offseason move to be had. Not only does locking down Washington on a four-year, $90 million contract bring great value to a 26-year-old who can be a building block in Dallas' future, but by signing his extension when he did, the Mavericks can't trade Washington this coming season.
