Marshall signs with the Mavericks using part of their mid-level exception
The Dallas Mavericks have officially signed forward Naji Marshall, formerly of the New Orleans Pelicans. Reports indicate Marshall has signed a 3-year, $27 million contract that will be part of Dallas' mid-level exception. This is the second transaction made official by the Mavericks on Saturday, as they announced theand offered him the same contract that was given to Marshall.
Marshall started his NBA career as an undrafted free agent out of Xavier and made a name for himself as a versatile swing forward who could guard multiple positions. His three-point shot started falling this past season, hitting them at a 38.7% clip. If he keeps that shooting up, he'll be seeing a lot of playing time alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
The Pelicans had a logjam of versatile wings last season between Marshall, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III, and Dyson Daniels to pair with their star duo of Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson. They've traded away Daniels and let Marshall walk in free agency but added in Dejounte Murray. Some insiders have reported New Orleans could be looking to move Ingram for the right package, though.. They could be looking to give Klay his own day for announcements as he is a future Hall of Famer.
