Goodbye JJ Barea
Tim MacMahon
@espn_macmahon · 28m Filed to ESPN — Sources: Mavs plan to release J.J. Barea on Thursday. Mark Cuban knew this move was likely when Barea signed a 1-year, $2.6M deal last week but wanted to reward him for his impact over 11 years with Mavs. Barea, 36, still hopes to play in NBA this season. |

I became a fan when he helped us win a championship in 2011
Always a spark plug who gave us instant energy. It sucks that injuries ruined the end of his career |

One of fav Mavs of all time. Always played his ass off. Good guy on and off the court. Good on Cuban for the “thank you gift”.

Barea remains determined to play in the NBA this season before retiring as a player and pursuing a career in coaching, sources said. The move is expected to be made official after Thursday’s practice, granting Barea’s request to be released sooner than later if it was a certainty that he wouldn’t be on the roster after final preseason cuts. – via Tim MacMahon @ ESPN

So which Team is going to waste a roster spot just for Veteran leadership?

The Philadelphia Mavericks should sign him.

I became a fan when he put up 27.3 points, 5 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. He totally dominated in the NBA Development League.

He’ll be on the coaching staff or in the front office soon enough. Instead of goodbye, let’s just call it “smell ya later.”

Barea will not be missed. He'll just move a few seats to the coaching staff side.
He'll probably not get a chance for a final season. No one will want him. He's a great guy though. Props to Cuban for signing and at least making him a decent amount of compensation if not a full year contract with another team. Thanks JJ for everything. Certainly one of my favourite and most memorable Mavs personas. |

I’m going to miss the hell out of this guy. Literally chokes up when he talks about Dallas. Just a pure, emotional moment. Not many like that with frauds like Harden out there. Last edited by EricaLubarsky; 12-10-2020 at 08:33 PM. |

interesting - didn't know how this worked... "But every NBA team will be partially responsible for a gift Mavericks owner Mark Cuban gave Barea." "The NBA’s minimum salary increases with experience. To prevent teams from avoiding more-expensive veterans, the NBA reimburses teams that sign players with more than two years of experience to one-season minimum-salary contracts. In Barea’s case, he’ll get the minimum salary for someone with at least 10 years experience ($2,564,753). The Mavericks will be on the hook for two-year-experience minimum ($1,620,564). The league will reimburse Dallas for the rest ($944,189). That $944,189 comes from a league-wide fund that each team contributes to equally. So, the other 29 teams are each covering $31,473 of Barea’s sendoff (likely into retirement). Including their share of the league-wide fund, the Mavericks will pay $1,652,037. But when wanting to reward Barea, that’s a bargain considering the actual amount of money that will flow to him over the next three years.* *Contracts with one year and more than $250,000 guaranteed remaining are paid out over three years when the player is waived." |

I wonder if he balls out if a team towards the end of the year will add him to their playoff roster |
