By learning from ESPN the signature of Naji Marshall at the Mavericks, for $27 million over three years, a question directly came to our minds: does this, at the same time, mark the departure of Derrick Jones Jr.? Yet the summer priority of the franchise.
According to Marc Steinthe answer is yes, because the leaders of Dallas would now focus on bringing in Klay Thompson in a sign-and-trade deal and would no longer have the resources to keep “DJJ.”
A little surprise, since we imagined Derrick Jones Jr. continuing the adventure with the Mavs, after his great season on the individual and collective levels. Except that a market opportunity has appeared and the recent NBA finalists therefore intend to attract the “Splash Brother” into their nets.
To compensate for the departure of “DJJ”, it is in any case Naji Marshall who is recruited. At 26 years old, the winger with the profile of “3&D” had not known any other team than the Pelicans and here he is arriving after four years in Louisiana, for 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists on average, at 43% shooting (including 31% at 3-pointers).
