This is so annoying.Nico Harrison says Mavs haven't been informed yet whether Josh Richardson will opt in to $11.6M contract for next season. Harrison says Mavs are in close contact with Richardson's agent (Bill Duffy) and Harrison says he believes Richardson will take full allotted time (Sunday).

I love reading almost every off-season about how the Mavs have a special relationship with Bill Duffy and how they go out of their way to bend over backwards for his clients because it means he'll return the favor by steering a free agent here or making a club-friendly move . . . then stuff like this happens.
Well wasn't this a fun draft for us Mavs fans!

Was there a draft? All I saw was Luka leading a third tier team to becoming a contender.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

The Dallas Mavericks are finalizing trading G/F Josh Richardson to the Boston Celtics, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Richardson is exercising his $11.6 million player option for the 2021-22 season for the deal.

Making room for Lowery??
Anything more than a salary dump would be a pleasant surprise. Still great that we were able to get rid of his contract.
Thank god we are getting rid of his sorry ass!
Richardson for Tatum confirmed
Sources confirm that Boston is acquiring Josh Richardson with their $11M trade exception. Because the salary for Richardson jumps to $11.6M in 2021/22, the trade will get finalized on Saturday. The Mavericks will create a $10.9M trade exception as part of the deal.

So apparently now Moses Brown is being sent to Dallas in the JRich trade. A very good trade just got even better!
Terrific value contract
— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) July 31, 2021
-$500K guaranteed in 2021/22
- Non-guaranteed in 2022/23 and 2023/24 (even if team option is exercised)
Has performed like a $6.7M player- @profitxai https://t.co/9viBCs2vaa
Love this deal!
Sounds like I spoke too soon on the Mavs/Bill Duffy disappointment. Will gladly eat crow on this one, especially if we can turn that trade exception into something later.
Kawhi declines his player option. So you're saying there's a chance.
The Dallas Mavericks are picking up center Willie Cauley-Stein’s $4.1 million team option, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 1, 2021
Why?
There's no reason not to. $4m is easy to move and the Mavs obviously have a decision to make with our C rotation.fightinags2013 said:The Dallas Mavericks are picking up center Willie Cauley-Stein’s $4.1 million team option, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 1, 2021
Why?
KP & Boban are locks to be on the roster, but WCS, Moses Brown, and even Maxi could be moved within a second (and i expect 1 of those 3 will be).
Picking up WCS's option just gives us more flexbility. If we need the $4m to sign a player, great, WCS can be traded for a 2nd round pick no problem. If we need to execute a trade, WCS can be added to whatever salary we send out. Or if we decide to keep him on a borderline league min contract, also great. 0 downside.
There's also just not a lot of great big man options
Free agency starts tonight....will the Mavs make accretive moves to the roster, or flame out like usual?
Sounds like he's looking for ~ $30 million a year. Yikes. Twitter says Miami is the favorite and we may have to settle for Dragic. Hopefully there's something bigger in play than that.HummingbirdSaltalamacchia said:The Dallas Mavericks are finalizing trading G/F Josh Richardson to the Boston Celtics, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Doubtful. The list of 2021 big free agents is pretty lean.
Rumors about THJ have been odd to me.Dallas, I'm told, is expected to reach agreement to re-sign Tim Hardaway Jr. early in free agency. Hardaway and Boban Marjanovic are two Mavs free agents they were determined to retain and sources say they will.
— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) August 2, 2021
30-ish minutes 'til the bell rings. More: https://t.co/M9hfKBlqnP
Agree on THJ. He's a guy I'd love to have back, but not at the expense of a ton of our cap room. Maybe the silver lining here is that by locking him up early, they're getting a team-friendlier deal before someone has time to swoop in and overpay. Fingers crossed.
From reading the rumor mill on twitter and reddit, it feels like THJ and Dragic are the only guys we are really linked to anymore...which feels discouraging to say the least.
Feel good about getting him for less than $20milFree agent Tim Hardaway Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal to return to the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 2, 2021
Who do you want to be linked to? There just isn't much out there this year. Hardaway is probably near the top of my list of free agents, which shows how weak the class is.
Agreed. It's not exciting, but seems like a decent contract and is better than our other options.
Fair!
The Mavericks could still create up to $14M in room. https://t.co/3L1BJ2bd7X
— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) August 2, 2021
THJ opinions aside, it's hard to replace 200 3Ps on 40% shooting.
Buddy told me that he's hearing we may be trading for dragic.
Goran Dragic’s first choice would to be re-routed to Dallas, I’m told.
— Michael Grange (@michaelgrange) August 2, 2021
Sterling Brown and Reggie Bullock about to be confirmed
I'm probably way more excited about bullock than I should be, but I love that signing.
Trade WCS + create TPE for Dragic? Wonder where they're going from here. What they've done so far seems good, they just need to get a second ball handler.
Free agent swingman Reggie Bullock has agreed to a three-year, $30.5 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks, his agent David Bauman of @ISEBasketball tells @TheAthletic @Stadium.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 3, 2021
Sterling Brown is signing a two-year, $6.2 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks, says his agent Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports
— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) August 2, 2021
So we are done now, right?
