Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

One other note about adding Exum - to get the needed space, we have talked about the Mavs perhaps thinking of waiving BW, and then signing him to a 2-way deal. But in looking closer, the fine print in the 2-way (and GL) rules prevents that - since he has a 200K guarantee on his current NG contract, that 200K he would receive on being waived would make him ineligible to sign a 2-way (or GL) deal WITH THE MAVS if they waive him. So if they want to have BW available to them at all, it has to be on the contract he currently has. [Idle thought: does Nico know that? In light of past cap blunders, I seriously wonder if he does, or if he is currently depending on a backdoor way out of the roster situation that doesn't exist.]
