Here’s the message, which was captured in a screen shot by Tim McMahon of ESPN.

— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) July 9, 2015Dear Mavs fans,
There will be a time when I detail everything i know regarding the last 48 hours.
I don’t think the time is right to say anything beyond the facts that he never responded to me at all yesterday. Not once. To this minute I have not heard anything from him since Tuesday night.
More importantly, I specifically told Wes that I would not hold him to his commitment if he wanted to go elsewhere. I can’t print his exact response, but suffice it to say he is excited to play for our Mavs:) Wes Matthews is exactly the type of player we want in a Mavs uniform and our fans will love him
He will be in Dallas today so if you see him give him an MFFL welcome +letsgomavs !
