Updated · 2026–27 season
Morez Johnson Jr is on the books for $6,754,800 in 2026–27, the 11th largest cap hit on the Dallas Mavericks roster and 3.8% of the team's $177.2M payroll.
That ranks 221st among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 4.1% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $30,745,200 in guaranteed money.
The money climbs as it goes: $6,754,800 in the first year up to $9,466,680 in the last, a 40% rise across the deal.
Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 team option, 2029-30 team option.
The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.
At 20, he is still inside the cheap early-career window; this deal runs through his age-23 season, before the expensive years start.
He sits in the bottom third of the roster by salary, the part of the payroll teams use to fill out the depth chart without moving the cap needle.
He is one of 15 players on the Dallas Mavericks' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $177,194,562.
Dallas Mavericks sit at $177.2M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$19.3M of room below the first apron.
