For a week, we knew that the Mavericks had decided to separate from JaVale McGeeAnd The Athletic announces that the Texas franchise has thus cut it. Until the end, Mark Cuban tried to exchange him, but finally the pivot of 35 years is limited, via the ” stretch provision“. This means that the remainder of his contract ($11.7 million) will be spread over five years. That is about 2.3 million dollars per year.
Triple NBA champion, JaVale McGee will therefore only have stayed one year at the Mavs, where he clearly did not have the impact imagined in the Texas racket, and he will be a free agent in 48 hours. He can then sign for the minimum with any franchise, except the Mavericks.
Stretch provision : measure that allows a franchise to cut a player and spread the rest of his salary over several seasons to avoid filling his salary cap over a single season.
