It's hard to know exactly what the Mavs are thinking. A healthy Exum is a solid player, but what's the play here?
There should be no mystery. The Mavs like Exum as a player, and he likes the Mavs. They have very limited spending choices due to NBA economics, but they have a CBA window to sign him if they can agree on a number that works for both of them, and the freedom to do so.
When healthy, he's a real plus because he gives good minutes at either PG or SG with efficient shooting, and he defends well. He has size. If we knew he would be healthy all year, he would be a great help, and near the top of the various ideas we've talked about imo.
The injuries have been an issue, of course. It's hard to trust the Mavs under NTI on having the proper read on those, but that's an issue for them to weigh.
