It is not a lack of love, they are simply decisions that the team must make thinking about the future and although it was painful for both parties, the Dallas Mavericks said goodbye to JJ Barea, who from this Thursday he stopped being part of the Texas team rosterAlthough he obviously stays in the hearts of the fans and the entire Mavs organization.
The Puerto Rican player could not hide the emotion When it comes to talking about what the Mavericks and the city of Dallas mean to him, of his 14 NBA seasons, 11 have been spent defending this jersey, so it’s not easy to say goodbye to a place he considers home.
As a gesture of gratitude, a few days ago the owner Mark Cuban decided to grant him a one-year, $ 2.6 million contractIt was simply a symbolic agreement as the decision had already been made.
At 36 years old, JJ Barea wants to continue playing and will surely find an offer as his experience can be well used to mentor some young people.
