According to Marc Stein, an extension between PJ Washington and the Dallas Mavericks is “likely.” Washington becomes eligible this Friday for a new four-year deal worth just under $90M. At 27, he’s no longer an automatic starter after Dallas landed Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick, but he remains a valued piece. If the extension is signed, Washington would be ineligible to be traded for six months, meaning he’s expected to spend Flagg’s entire rookie year in Dallas. The deal would keep Washington locked in at a manageable salary (under $25M annually) while giving the Mavericks continuity around Kyrie, AD, and now Flagg.
