The Mavericks will renew the contract with the forward general, but his position in the team is actually a bit embarrassing?

According to the well-known reporter of TheSteinLine, Dallas Mavericks' forward star PJ Washington will be eligible to complete an early contract renewal with the team this Friday US time. It is expected that he can sign a four-year contract renewal contract with the Mavericks with a total amount of nearly $90 million, and the two parties are likely to quickly reach a contract renewal agreement after Friday.

In the NBA regular season last season, Washington played 57 games in 82 games, averaging 32.2 minutes per game, averaging 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 72.2%. In the first round of the playoffs, the team beat the Sacramento Kings, Washington made 5 of 15 shots, 1 of 6 from the three-point line, and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 17 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with plus or negative values ​​of +28. In the second round of the playoffs, the team lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, Washington made 0 of 5 shots and 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line during the second round of the playoffs, failed to score 1 point in the game, contributed only 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and had 4 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -12.

Washington performed well during the regular season last season. He also has a relatively comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He can also score in various ways, and his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage can also be maintained at a high level. Washington's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable. He is also a reliable defender and has comprehensive defensive capabilities. Washington is also an all-round forward player with both offense and defense, and he is competent in multiple positions on the court. He is also a versatile all-round player.

But the problem is that the Mavericks selected Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft this summer, and Flagg's arrival will also have a great impact on Washington's position in the team. Judging from the situation last season, Washington is actually not competent for the role of the third position, and he is more suitable for the fourth position. In the third position, Washington seemed a little difficult on the offensive end and his effect on the defensive end was also average. Now Flag will occupy the starting third position, and Anthony Davis will occupy the starting fourth position. Under such circumstances, Washington's playing time will be greatly reduced. Is the Mavericks renewing his contract with him to sell him for a good price?
