Dallas is nearing a new deal with point guard Yogi Ferrell, tweets Jordan Schultz of Yahoo Sports. Sources tell Schultz the parties are “really close” to agreeing on contract terms.
The Mavericks rescinded their qualifying offer to Ferrell last week, which was believed to be a procedural move aimed at creating more cap room.
The 25-year-old excelled during his first full season in Dallas, appearing in all 82 games, starting 21, and averaging 10.2 PPG while shooting 37% from 3-point range. He first joined the team on a 10-day contract in January of 2017 after being waived by the Nets.
Ferrell will be competing for playing time in a crowded backcourt that includes the Mavericks’ first-round picks from the last two seasons, Dennis Smith and Luka Doncic, along with veteran J.J. Barea.
They were at the “one yard line” a few days ago…
Finally a good move from Dallas, first one since picking Doncic. Now just get it done!
Carlisle loves midget backcourts.
Unfortunately yes he does..
