The Mavericks‘ G League affiliate – the Texas Legends – has added Jason Terry to its front office staff as an assistant GM.
“We are thrilled to have Jason come on board,” said Legends President/General Manager Malcolm Farmer in a statement. “His resume speaks for itself. He had a tenured NBA career for a reason, and to have him bring that skillset and work ethic to the table is invaluable for our team and staff.”
Terry, who previously won a championship with the Mavericks, will be assisting the G League club with all aspects of basketball operations. Terry spent eight of his 19 years in the NBA with the Mavericks, appearing in 619 games for the club.
“It’s great to begin my front office career here,” said Terry. “The Dallas area has been home to me and my family for many years and the Mavericks franchise has always been family. To get to work with this organization in this capacity is exciting. I look forward to getting started.”
YES, YES, YES … he’s finally out of the league
I always thought front office work was about doing business. Does this guy know anything about conducting business? Can he parse a contract? Maybe he can evaluate talent. But that would make him a scout. Being a professional athlete, I guess the gravy train can continue after “retirement”.

Do you know enough about him to say he doesn’t know the business? Do you know what he majored in or did in the off seasons?
And it’s AGM for a G-League which is equal to having to learn the job from the bottom. But I guess his 18 years around the league are nothing, he’s just a dumb jock right?
So tired of jealous judgmental fans who say things online they never say to the guys face.
I would gladly jnterview the dude. I’m sure he won’t be splitting the atom anytime soon.
I love you keyboard warrior. Shivers
