We're saving money to get a serviceable big off the street or waiver...

Hmm... unless I'm missing something the Spotrac data seems contradictory. The contract notes say $700k is guaranteed, but the top-line text says the full $1.6mm is guaranteed. So it could go either way.

I think he got full guarantee a week or so ago.
Shams via Athletic:
Rival teams say that the Mavericks are aiming to clear a roster spot for flexibility, [CHECK]
first via trade. [CHECK]
Dallas has opened up talks in the market place to acquire a wing player and [TBD]
a center, the latter of which could come in the free-agent space. [LIKELY CHECK, ACCORDING TO TOWNSEND]
Looks like Shams will be three for four, so far ...
Funny...some have Patton as a cheap young Powell replacement and some have us dumping him.
Nothing says we can't dump him if/when the other shoe falls. As Tyler notes, Roby is guaranteed in 20/21 and Patton is not. I loved Patton coming out of college, so I don't mind the flier if he's designed to be kept. I also don't mind cutting him if it is part of a bigger plan.
One step closer to fulfilling the Jermaine O'Neal to the Mavericks prophecy.
I actually don't understand this. Second year in a row (Spalding last year) they gave a long term contract to a second rounder just to cut/trade him a few months later. Why didn't they trade Bro?
I hope they will just give out a 10 day contract to someone.

That is probably right. Hollinger quote was from 1/2/20

Yeah this is from basketball reference
"
2019-20 partially guaranteed for $700K, fully guaranteed after Friday, January 10, 2020"

If they pan out you can have 4 years of cheap contract...

Personally I would prefer to give a prove yourself chance to a youngster than bringing him someone like Noah.

And a couple of months is enough to pass the judgement? What changed in this 6 months from "giving him a 4 year contract" to worthless? On the other hand you have Bro expiring who you could just as easily cut without going into the troubles of executing a trade
