Free agent guard Wesley Matthews has agreed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks on a multi-year deal, according to multiple reports Friday.
Matthews, the former Portland Trail Blazers swingman, turned down a four-year, $64 million offer from the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, according to ESPN.com.
NBA.com reported that Matthews will receive a four-year deal from the Mavs, but sources told ESPN.com the figures remain in flux until Dallas’ respective pursuits of marquee free agents DeAndre Jordan and LaMarcus Aldridge play out.
