Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Agreed, if they see the center rotation the same way you do, as in with a commitment to all currently on the roster. But, they did give him the qualifying offer, which isn't huge, but it's also not nothing. 

Mav QO was basically a standing offer for another 2-way year. That's all it was. NY's offer was the smallest possible offer another team could legally make. We will see if the Mavs have strong enough preference for keeping him at the minimum with very limited guarantees.

If not, I think a 2-way slot is how they will cover their remaining C need, which makes me wonder if any of the Mav SL players at C are 2-way eligible.
