Although the attention of the entire basketball world is shifting towards the Asian World Cup, at home Dallas Mavericks it’s still market time — or at least “house cleaning”. As anticipated by journalists Shams Charania and Marc Stein, JaVale McGee’s experience in Texas is now nearing its end: unless the longtime three-time NBA champion is traded in the next week (by August 31), his contract will be cut by the Mavericks through the “stretch provision” tool. In fact the nearly $12 million remaining for the next two years they will be “spread” over five seasons at 2.3 million eachthus allowing the Mavericks to recover some salary space and a roster spot for a guaranteed contract. At the same time Dallas decided to keep Markieff Morrisarrived in the current season a few months ago and seen on the field for eight games, albeit with an unsecured contract to leave room for maneuver and further improve the roster. For McGee, on the other hand, now there will be the opportunity to start over elsewhere, putting his experience at the disposal of a contender chasing a big player.
