Washington became eligible to receive the renewal last Friday. Over the past week, journalist Marc Stein had already assured that the conversations were heading towards a positive outcome. Before the new agreement, the player was preparing to enter the last year of his contract with the Mavericks, with a salary of $14.1 million.

Twelfth choice of the 2019 Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, the shirt 25 spent the first four years of his career defending the team. After good performances, he ended up changing to Dallas during the 2023-24 trade deadline. Since his arrival, he has averaged 13.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.1 steal of the ball and a stumk in 86 matches.

Mavericks Consider PJ Washington as the Valuable Asset after trading Luka Doncic

Since the exchange of Luka Doncic for the Los Angeles Lakers (and consequently the arrival of Anthony Davis), the Mavs began to accumulate several options for the frontcourt. In this way, the cast squanders options for the positions of wing, pivot wing and pivot. So, it will be up to coach Jason Kidd to distribute the minutes in the best way.

Faced with the ‘overcrowding’ of the sector, the future of important parts of the rotation – especially P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford – became the target of speculation. Both renewed their respective ties with the Texas team, however, with different specificities.

Gafford signed for three years and $60 million, lower value and contract time less than the maximum allowed. Therefore, it can still be changed at any time, before or during the season. Washington, on the other hand, signed the maximum extension, which means that it will not be able to change teams in 2025-26.
