interesting… better shooter than DJJ. we might have been outbid and went with Plan B.
DJJ is this years Bruce Brown
Looks like we might have lost DJJ but Naji is a perfectly fine replacement. We lose the rim running, but Naji is a slightly better shooter and slightly better driving. Not the point of attack defender is though, but can handle stronger players better than DJJ can. Helps Grimes is one hell of a POA defender though.
“Done deal”, lol.
I guess the Mavs got an inkling that DJJ was looking elsewhere, or maybe his agent situation just became a mess and it didn’t make sense to wait.
I like Marshall, it’s a good signing, and there was a report of prior interest. I’m not sure if Marshall is as versatile of an on-ball defender as DJJ, but he always seemed to play well against the Mavs and showed a lot of intensity. The 3s are a question, just like they were with DJJ, but he shot them well last season.
As a bonus, the Mavs are gonna have like a 4-5M chunk left over from the MLE that could yield another nice player.

GREAT pickup and really out of nowhere damn
This means we probably lost DJJ. Please get Thompson now.
So DJJ gone?
Great signing, but does this mean we lost DJJ?
I think it obviously means goodbye DJJ. Probably also a sign that the Klay negotiations are going well too?
Actually love this pick up and for a good price. Sad that this may be the end for DJJ tho. (Unless I’m mistaken)
Damn. Means DJJ is probably gone.
is he better than djj?
What the fuck?
Omg we really gonna lose DJJ holy shit. I’m upset
It’s crazy because locked on was talking about him for the BAE. Some team has to be giving DJJ crazy money.
How is his poa defense?
Means what for DJJ
Bruhhhh…. wtf happened to DJJ then?
DJJ gonna be on the Sixers? Not a lot of teams can pay him now. Don’t think he’s taking the Lakers MLE because why not just re-sign with us??
I guess DJJ is getting paid
Dang sad about DJJ, but Naji Marshall is a veeerry acceptable replacement!
DJJ earned himself a nice payday and Naji is an awesome replacement. Will miss the lobs but this is a great signing
Chat who is this guy
DJJ | Marshall
O-EPM -1.9 | -1.4
D-EPM +1.8 | +1.7
EPM -0.2 | +0.3
7 ppg but versatile defender and shot 39 percent from deep.
