There will be a lot of discussion surrounding DJJ, rightfully so. What will the Mavs have to do, if anything, to bring him back?!
I want it on record that I think he'll be back using the TPMLE (~5.2M), signing a 1+1 like Nicholas Batum and Bobby Portis did in 2021.
Some have said that this playoff run has pushed DJJ to NTMLE (~12.9M) and I just don't see it. Of course, it only takes one team, see Bruce Brown last year.

Mavs (23-24)
13.3 pts | 5.0 rbs | 1.5 ast | 1.1 stl | 1.0 blk | 48.3 FG% (10.0 FGA) | 34.3 3PT% (4.8 3PA) | 11.7 PER
Playoffs (23-24)
11.1 pts | 4.2 rbs | 1.5 ast | 0.6 stl | 1.2 blk | 48.1 FG% (8.9 FGA) | 36.9 3PT% (3.6 3PA) | 11.2 PER
I've said it many times, but I'll say it once more. DJJ was for the Mavs exactly what he's always been. A world class athlete, that can be a vertical threat on the offensive end and is a plus defender. He's just what this Luka-led Mavs team was missing. There's nothing he did this year that screams massive raise from vet minimum (2.7M) to NTMLE (12.9M).
