Sounds like they still expect to resign him.

They do. I'm generally surprised. Thought they would keep Seth Curry over Yogi since they don't have a lot of shooters but do have a lot of ball handlers. However, Cuban really likes Yogi so picked him over the two. I'm glad to see him stick around another year or two here!

Yogi is not signing the deal with Dallas. I'm guessing another team is coming with a higher offer.

Sources: Guard Yogi Ferrell has changed course on Dallas Mavericks deal in order to reenter free agency. “We felt uncomfortable and will weigh our options,” agent Cervando Tejeda said.

I bet it’s more to do with opportunity than money. They’ve got too many ball handlers for him to really get a legit shot imo.

He took less by not accepting qualifying offer. I think he was pissed that by doing that the Mavs didn't guarantee his second year. Basically, Mavs got the best of both worlds in this situation. If Yogi was going to take less they should have made a concession and given him 2 guaranteed years. Otherwise, they could just cut him after this year and lose nothing.

Yogi ended up doing better than what Dallas was offering - great for him. It does suck he is going to a disfunctional franchise that has a lot of guards but at least he is getting $$$. 

They have a lot less guards than Dallas. He should be the backup over Mason.

He would have been the backup to Doncic. The plan was to move Dennis Smith to SG so I don't think the PT changes much although probably a little more backing up Fox.

I read they were planning on using him as the backup SG (I'm assuming Barea as the backup pg) and it seems like that was a big deal to him. They also just drafted Brunson who could play now.
