The Dallas Mavericks signed 2019 second-round selection Isaiah Roby to a four-year contract on Tuesday, fully guaranteeing the second year of the deal.
According to the report by Bobby Marks of ESPN, Roby will receive $1.5 million in his first year with the Mavs — the largest cap hit in a first year by a second-round pick coming out of college. The former Nebraska Cornhuskers standout was the 45th pick by the Detroit Pistons in the 2019 NBA Draft.
The total deal is worth $6.7 million over four years. Dallas has a team option in the fourth year of the deal.
The second year (2020-21) in the contract is fully guaranteed with an early July trigger date in year 3 (2021-22) and team option in year 4 (2022-23). https://t.co/w34YgjI5Bx
