Dallas unlikely to keep Derrick Jones Jr?
Marc Stein: Dallas pivoted to signing Naji Marshall, league sources say, after unexpectedly conceding tonight that it likely would not have the wherewithal to retain Derrick Jones Jr. while the Mavs focus on the sign-and-trade pursuit of Klay Thompson. ESPN first reported Marshall deal.

Last time Airplane Mode played in LA, he was throwing a block party in Game 5 vs Clippers.
Before Game 6, I asked Jason Kidd about Derrick Jones Jr.’s ability to block 3s by James Harden and Paul George in particular.

Derrick Jones Jr. opted out of his Bulls contract to bet on himself, started NBA Finals games for Dallas and now heads to the Clippers for $30M—-and clogs up pathway for DeMar DeRozan as Paul George replacement. – 12:13 AM

The Mavericks used a good chunk of their available mid-level exception to sign Naji Marshall.
This very likely closes the door on Derrick Jones Jr. re-signing in Dallas. pic.twitter.com/1teolKSnnD – 10:11 PM

If Derrick Jones Jr. is getting more than the MLE and Dallas can’t legally match, ok, I get it.
If they actively chose Naji Marshall (or, indirectly, Klay Thompson in a sign-and-trade) over DJJ, I just disagree with that. They really need his point-of-attack defense. – 10:05 PM

There is optimism in Dallas that Derrick Jones Jr. will be re-signed even if the Mavericks win the Klay Thompson Sweepstakes, league sources say, with Quentin Grimes poised to replace Josh Green if Green must be dealt away for Thompson.

for the first time, there’s now doubt that Derrick Jones Jr. returns to Dallas, league sources tell me. here’s the rundown on the complicated situation stemming from his decision to change agencies: nytimes.com/athletic/live-… – 2:46 PM

On Friday, longtime basketball scribe Marc Stein reported Jones was leaving his longtime agent Aaron Turner to join the Rich Paul-led Klutch Sports. Under National Basketball Player Association guidelines, however, players seeking to change representation must wait 15 days before signing with another agency, as first noted by Yahoo’s Jake Fischer. Jones’ decision, according to a league source granted anonymity to speak freely, happened Wednesday. That move, team and league sources confirm to The Athletic, could potentially mean Jones would not have representation for teams to negotiate with until July 11, when Klutch would be permitted to take him on as a client nearly two weeks after free agency begins at 6 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. -via New York Times / June 30, 2024
