Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

To that end, Cisse's deal is currently non-guaranteed on Spotrac.  The first $1,092,558 doesn't guarantee until 9/1 with the rest guaranteeing on 10/1.  Bear in mind those dates were set by NY, not Dallas.

Regarding Klay, we tend to think in terms of a trade having to be done before the season starts, but a $17mm expiring contract has value at the TDL too.

To this point, If I'm a team who wants Thompson, it's tough to convince myself I'll have to trade for him if Dallas has to get rid of someone to get to the roster limit. I think you're probably correct that Cisse would be the one cut if another move doesn't come (unless Thompson has expressly stated he wants to be somewhere else by the start of the season), but man...I'll be disappointed if Cisse isn't on the roster.
