The Cleveland Cavaliers are interested in acquiring Dallas Mavericks' free agent wing Derrick Jones Jr., who fits their need for a 3-and-D player. Meanwhile, Jones is navigating an uncertain free agency period after switching representation from Aaron Turner to Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, requiring a 15-day waiting period before Klutch can officially represent him. This delay complicates Jones' negotiations, as he enters free agency without an agent until July 11. The Mavericks view re-signing Jones as a top priority, having even traded Tim Hardaway Jr. to free up cap space for his potential new contract. Despite Dallas' strong interest, Jones may explore other options, especially given his new association with Klutch Sports.
