[Stein] Doing a sign-and-trade to acquire Grant Williams means Dallas has still preserved its midlevel exception for further free agent use … with Portland RFA Matisse Thybulle still at the top of the Mavericks’ wish list, league sources say.

Nico is cooking this off-season
Shoe salesman no more
Who let the Mavs be competent? Someone wake up Mark!
wasnt the Thybulle offer sheet already reported in the morning today
wonder why Stein isn’t acknowledging that
Nico a business man doin business fr
Spacing big again for Luka..
stop aren’t we dealing with enough already
Good moves
Perhaps they should go for someone taller than 6’6
Honestly a very good offseason for Dallas
Grant and Kyrie gonna be buds. 🤭
Grab your popcorn y’all and watch the Dallas drama unfold. 🍿
damn the mavs are actually being smart i’m not equipped for this
Uh oh, Luka’s got a competent GM now, y’all better watch out
Mavs could put a pretty nice team together. Still don’t love their center rotation until Lively is ready.
Mavs are maneuvering expertly
The Mavs are having a masterclass of an offseason. Thybulle added to this roster has them looking very good heading into next season
Nico ain’t fucking around this offseason. I don’t know what to do with my hands now that I’m not throwing them up in the air anymore.
Dallas making the playoffs this year it seems
Nico Harrison and the Mavs really deserve a ton of praise for their considered and thoughtful offseason. Making excellent moves…that started with they tanking to secure their top 10 pick. That was what set these wheels in motion. They have really transformed their roster around Luka and Kyrie over the offseason and for me are a significantly better team now than they were to end the year last season.
Blazers being in a holding pattern with the Dame situation will make their thought process on Thybulle here interesting. He’s 26 and doesn’t quite fit the Scoot/Sharpe timeline. At the same time, they may not want to lose him foor nothing, and he was an excellent defender that shot 39% from 3 in his Portland tenure. He’s still young enough to grow with their younger core. Blazers are pretty far from the tax. I want to see him Dallas. Let’s see what happens.
Wood gettin stiffed yet again
It feels so weird having a competent front office
Thybulle isn’t worth the mid-level. Hasn’t demonstrated he can stay on the floor even when surrounded by high-level offensive players.
If he starts hitting threes at a league average rate in the corners he’ll get some playtime and have value. Until then, his offensive ineptitude outweighs his contributions on the defensive end. That’s all we’ve seen from him.
