Matisse Thybulle desperately wanted to join the Mavericks?
Thybulle signed a three-year, $33 million offer sheet with the Mavericks, but the Portland Trail Blazers matched it. “The vibe I’ve gotten is that Thybulle really did want to end up with Dallas,” Stein said on his podcast with Haynes. “This is something Thybulle’s been wanting even before this summer. Dallas has been talked about as a potential destination. The Mavericks have explored in the past pathways to trade for Thybulle.” Added Haynes: “Matisse desperately wanted to be a member of the Dallas Mavericks.”

Matisse Thybulle started in all 22 appearances with the Portland Trail Blazers last season. Encouragingly, he shot 38% 3P in that stretch on a healthy 3.9 attempts per game. A nice deal for Thybulle to stay in Portland, even if the overall team situation remains uncertain. pic.twitter.com/aPc7KXFcQK – 9:37 PM

My understanding has always been that the Blazers planned to keep Matisse Thybulle around regardless of the direction of the roster. Would say there’s a strong chance they match the Mavs’ offer sheet once it’s signed. – 9:29 PM

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.

Yes, they play different positions, but Grant Williams is 24 and Reggie Bullock is 32. So there’s that. And if Dallas lands restricted free agent Matisse Thybulle, it’ll have its Bullock-replacement lockdown multi-position defender. – 7:18 PM
