The Dallas Mavericks picked up their 2020-21 team option for Luka Doncic and Justin Jackson, league sources told Tim Cato of The Athletic.

Doncic, who won Rookie of the Year last season, will earn just over $8 million during the 2020-21 season before hitting restricted free agency.

Jackson, who joined the Mavs as part of a trade involving Harrison Barnes, is set to make over $5 million for the 2020-21 season. 

The Dallas Mavericks officially announced the signing of Yudai Baba.

Baba averaged 4 points and 2.3 rebounds for the Mavs' summer league team.

The Mavs are now at their roster limit with 20 players heading into training camp. 

The Texas Legends hired Jason Terry as an Assistant General Manager to Malcolm Farmer.

The Legends are the G League affiliate for the Mavs.

Terry, who won an NBA title with the Mavs in 2011, last played for the Bucks in 2018. 

“It’s great to begin my front office career here. 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," said Terry.

Mark Cuban spoke about the differences between the NFL and the NBA during a recent interview on CBS Sports Radio.

“The NFL sells the NFL," said Cuban. "The NBA sells its players. You couldn’t identify 90 percent of NFL players if they were standing right in front of you. That’s a big part of their core problem … I get the NFL dwarfs the NBA in television but I think that’s going to change.”

Ratings for the NFL have been dramatically higher than the NBA for years.
