J.J. Barea will stay in Dallas, agrees to deal with Mavericks

The deal is reportedly for two years and $5.6 million. Barea have agreed to a deal keeping him in Dallas, according to Puerto Rico’s El Nuevo Dia.

Since the start of free agency on July 1st, it was rumored that the two parties had a mutual interest to come to an arrangement. He returned to Dallas last season after the Minnesota Timberwolves bought out the remainder of the four-year deal he signed in 2011. Barea #5 and Tyson Chandler #6 of the Dallas Mavericks react to a play late in the game during Game One in the Western Conference Quarterfinals of the 2015 National Basteball Association Playoffs on April 18, 2015 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. His contract is fully guaranteed, unlike the deal he signed last season, when he earned a roster spot after receiving an invitation to Dallas’ training camp.

New York went 7-0 with Lin as a starter or playing major minutes in a game and the Knicks battled back to a. 500 record for that point in the season, every victory adding to the phenomenon dubbed “Linsanity”.

They have turned to a fan favorite and solid National Basteball Association rotation player J.J.

Rumors have also been swirling that the Mavericks are interested in acquiring Jeremy Lin from the Lakers to be their starting point guard. Barea will have to be the team’s last signing because of the nature of the exception – the team can offer it even if it has reached the salary cap. Barea is returning to Dallas after considering a move to Miami in free agency. With Jordan in the team, Lin can create openings for both himself and DJ. Barea to fill it.
