Reserve point guard J.J. Barea will probably return to the Mavericks for a second season.

The Mavs have until Aug. 1 to decide whether to release him, but Barea's agent expects the team to pick up the option for another year.

"I'm fully expecting him to remain with the Mavs," agent Richard Katz said Wednesday. "He's done everything they asked and more, and he's had a great summer."
