According to NBA "Traveler King" Shars Charania, the Dallas Mavericks and team forward P.J. Washington have reached a four-year, $90 million contract extension, which will guarantee that he will stay in Dallas until the 2029-30 season.

27-year-old P.J. Washington was traded from the Charlotte Hornets to Dallas in the mid-2023-24 season, and soon integrated into the team and became the team's main striker. His toughness on both offense and defense allowed the Mavericks to go to the frontcourt to a higher level, protecting Doncic and Irving on the back line well.

Even though he was troubled by injuries last season, he was able to score 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists, and is currently the first-class forward 3D in the Western Conference and even the entire league. After the agreement reached with Washington, the Mavericks' offseason renewal ended perfectly.

After winning No. 1 Cooper Flag, the Mavericks' frontcourt strength is currently one of the best in the entire league.

There are Thick Eyebrows in the interior with two center bodyguards, Lefley and Gafford, and P.J. Washington and Flag on the front line. Coupled with Najib Marshall and Claib Martin, head coach Kidd can use various combinations. On the back line, they also have "Bryant Little Kobe" Christie and veteran Klay Thompson, as well as D'Angelo Russell, who joined the low price this year. It can be said that even though Irving is unable to play for the time being due to injury, they are still very competitive in the West.

When Ou Shenxian recovered from injury in the second half of the season, this Mavericks with strong strength and complete lineup are likely to become a favorite in the Western Conference championship.
