Marc Stein of ESPN.com added that Matthews has verbally committed to Dallas and that the financial details of the deal won't be revealed until the Mavs
tie up their remaining loose ends this offseason, including the possible acquisition of LaMarcus Aldridge or DeAndre Jordan.

stronger. Matthews will help stretch the floor and bring some more defense to the backcourt following the Rajon Rondo's impending departure. ESPN.com's Tim MacMahon ventures Matthews' arrival might also boost Dallas in its free-agent
efforts elsewhere:

For Matthews' old home, Portland, it's yet another key piece of the team walking out the door. It's likely Aldridge signs elsewhere, while Robin Lopez has a deal in place to join the New York Knicks, per Stein .
