The deal guard J.J. Barea signed with the Dallas Mavericks ended up being significantly richer than the one he originally agreed to.
Barea signed a four-year, $16 million deal Thursday. He originally agreed to sign a two-year, $5.7 million deal, which would have given him Dallas’ cap-room exception, but the sides negotiated a new deal after center DeAndre Jordan backed out of his commitment to sign a max contract with the Mavs.
