Veteran guard Jason Terry considers himself retired unless he receives an offer from the Lakers, Warriors or Mavericks, tweets Tim MacMahon of ESPN. Terry made the comments as part of the Dallas broadcast of Saturday’s game, adding, “Then I’ll answer the phone.”
Terry, 41, played 19 NBA seasons, including the past two with Milwaukee. He averaged 3.3 PPG in 51 games last year and was hoping for another season with the Bucks, but the opportunity never came.
A career 38% shooter from 3-point range, Terry had his best years with the Hawks and Mavericks, winning a championship with Dallas in 2011. He signed with Boston in 2012 and entered a journeyman phase of his career, spending one season with the Celtics, another with the Nets and two with the Rockets before coming to Milwaukee.
There’s no indication that any of Terry’s preferences are considering giving him an opportunity. Golden State has a roster opening, but may not fill the spot all season to lessen its luxury tax. The Warriors are also waiting to see what happens with Patrick McCaw, who remains a restricted free agent.
The Lakers and Mavericks both have full 15-man rosters and would have to unload a guaranteed salary to add Terry.
Lakers, please don’t!!!!
So do I, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t have interest in me, right? If who I had interest in playing for I’d be a lifelong Celtic
Terry wouldn’t be good enough for the Lakers at this stage, but he might still fit well enough with GSW
I thought about this as well. If McCaw doesn’t come back, I’d like to see them sign him toward the end of the season.
McCaw who ?
I told my agent the same thing 2 weeks ago. It’s Lakers, Warriors or Mavs that’s it. Don’t call me otherwise…
Why would the Warriors be waiting to see on McCaw at this point? The guy had an awful year last year and hasn’t played at all in 6 months. Frankly the guy seems like he has something going on personally given his strange behavior
He must have found another business he’s making 2 million a year on, LOL. It is California you know… :)
