Mavs add J.J. Barea for more money after Jordan defection

The Mavericks have re-signed point guard J.J. Barea, who will get significantly more money after center DeAndre Jordan backed out on a deal to join Dallas.

Barea signed a four-year, $16 million contract after spending last season with the Mavericks. He originally agreed to a two-year deal at less than $6 million, but Dallas had more money under the salary cap without the max contract for Jordan, who re-signed with the Los Angeles Clippers.
