Houston native and Kansas State product Iwundu was so thrilled about coming to terms on a two-year contract with the Mavericks that when reached by The News he sounded as though he was in disbelief. That will happen when you’ve spent your three-year NBA career with a smaller-market, fringe-playoff team like Orlando and suddenly you’re back in your home state, playing for the 2011 NBA championship franchise you watched while growing up. “That’s number one, just being from Texas, but also going to a team like this is pretty big,” he said. “It’s a different ballgame. It’s contenders, man. I’m so excited that I can’t put it into words.”

Tim MacMahon: Wes Iwundu is headed to Dallas on a 2-year deal, per sources.
Zach Lowe: This is a veteran’s minimum deal, sources say. Absolutely worth a flier. I’ve long had my eye on Iwundu as an under-the-radar guy who could develop into a rotation player for a good team.
Brad Townsend: I’m told that Iwundu’s contract is guaranteed, and this source also confirmed my earlier report that J.J. Barea will be back, but this source is telling me the Mavs still have one more roster spot. I knew Bey and Hinton were on 2-ways, but I obviously need to redo my math.
Wesley Iwundu heading to Dallas
Shams Charania: Free agent Wes Iwundu is close to a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell @The Athletic @Stadium.
Brad Townsend: Wes Iwundu, a 6-6 fourth-year small forward with career averages of 4.8 points and 2.5 rebounds, clearly doesn’t solve the Mavs’ big-man need. Confirmed deal, but working to get the figures. Can’t be for much and is not a major signing. He made $1.3M last season.
Wesley Iwundu: Beautiful city of Orlando, Thank You.⚡️💙
