DALLAS - The Dallas Mavericks have picked up the second-season contract option for Willie Cauley-Stein.

He averaged 5.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 53 games for the Mavs last season.

The Mavs opened up some cap spaces after trading Josh Richardson to the Celtics, and appear to be setting themselves to possibly make a run at a big free agent this offseason.
