The Mavericks are bringing back center Willie Cauley-Stein for next season. Dallas picked up his team option, which is worth 4.1 million dollars, the same amount he was paid last year. Cauley-Stein appeared in 53 games, made 16 starts and shot a career-high 63.2 percent from the field. The big man heads into his seventh pro season after being selected sixth overall by the Kings in 2015.
