The Dallas Mavericks could sign and trade for Klay Thompson and re-sign Derrick Jones Jr. with the $12.9 million mid-level exception while fielding a roster below the $178.7 million first apron.

A sign-and-trade for Thompson could work pretty easily by trading Maxi Kleber or Josh Green, the latter of which became more expendable with the arrival of Quentin Grimes.

The big variable is where Thompson's salary starts. If gets into the high teens, they might need to move both players to make everything fit under the first apron.

Mr. Gozlan is like 3 days late with this info!
