Again...something like that. I would not make this up because I have no idea what the give and take is. But I read that here.
There is also somwthing about him being a 2nd round pick and last year not fully guaranteed or it is....I forget.
I asked about it a month ago and people said there is nothing unique about jbs contract so I don't know. All I know is it seems to be an issue that is in his favor.

The Mavericks have frequently signed second-round players to longer and richer contracts than most. I seem to remember there's actually an advantage, since first-round picks can only sign three-year contracts. Dallas is betting that the second-rounder turns into something serviceable, and they exercise control longer and cheaper.
Sometime's it's really tough to tell what an 18-year-old draftee is going to develop into, even after his three-year contract is complete. Teams are stuck with a difficult decision about whether, and for how much, to re-sign for, based purely on potential and trajectory.
I seem to remember they did the same for Isaiah Roby a couple of years ago.
