Heels in the NBA: Harrison Barnes to join Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks have offered Harrison Barnes a four-year $95 million offer contract according to reports and now Barnes has agreed to the deal.

The four-year NBA player will be getting the biggest contract of his career as he has earned a max deal.

With the Golden State Warriors landing Kevin Durant, Barnes will not be returning to the NBA runners-up from a season ago. Instead, he and former Warriors teammate Andrew Bogut will have a new home in Dallas.

The Philadelphia 76ers were also interested in Barnes’s services. Although he did not play well during the 2016 NBA Finals, Barnes had his best season as a professional basketball player.
