Jameer Nelson and the Mavericks are expected to finalize a 2-year, $6 million deal on Thursday, according to Marc Stein of ESPN. The deal also contains a player option in its second year. The Mavericks have had a busy offseason, acquiring Tyson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Chandler Parsons, and now inking Nelson for two years. It is still unclear what role he will play next season, but he will likely be part of a rotating point guard platoon.
