More on this storyline
Yossi Gozlan: The Dallas Mavericks can give Grant Williams more than a market-value contract through Reggie Bullock’s contract alone. I’ll be interested in the terms because staying below the apron while still keeping Tim Hardaway Jr. and JaVale McGee will be tricky. Reggie Bullock has a trade bonus worth $524,480. The San Antonio Spurs are left with $15.1M in cap space with the acquisition of Bullock. They could have a little more depending on what they do with Lamar Stevens. -via Twitter @YossiGozlan / July 6, 2023
Hardaway, sources said, has been among a group of players that the Mavericks have explored trading after last season’s 38-44 team failed to reach the playoffs on the heels of a trip to the Western Conference finals in 2021-22 — even after trading for Irving in February. Other players in that group include Dāvis Bertāns, whose contract was traded into Oklahoma City cap space on draft night to create the trade exception used to acquire Holmes, along with soon-to-be free agent Christian Wood, who we’ve been reporting since April would not be asked back. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 27, 2023
The Phoenix Suns engaged in advanced discussions to trade former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton to the Dallas Mavericks last week during the NBA Draft before the talks stalled, league sources say. The proposed deal, sources tell The Stein Line, would have sent Ayton to Dallas for Tim Hardaway Jr., Richaun Holmes and JaVale McGee — but the Suns balked at McGee’s inclusion. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 27, 2023
