2010 NBA Draft: Mavs Acquire Dominique Jones For Cash

As we speculated, there was no way the Grizzlies were holding on to all of their backcourt players, after drafting Xavier Henry, Dominique Jones and Greivis Vazquez (to go with holdovers O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley). The Grizzlies have reportedly sold the righs to Jones to the Mavs, per ESPN’s Marc Stein. Draft Express’ Jonathan Givony further reports that the Mavs paid the Hawks $3 million for Jones’ rights.

With last year’s rookie Rodrigue Beaubois, an explosive point guard, and Jones, a muscular combo guard, the Mavs have the foundations of a stellar backcourt down the line.
