I wonder what sort of "deals" the Mavs have given out. That doesn't specify, and this time of year, there are multiple possibilities that are given to undrafted rookies.

Some options:
1 a Summer League deal
2 an NBA "training camp" deal, which will get them to camp and then will funnel them to the G-League if they don't make the Mavs 15-man roster ... but the Mavs can only have 20 players in camp in total
3 a regular NBA contract (with no guarantees)

At this point in the offseason, they tend to be Summer League, with camp deals being given after the Summer League to the ones they like the best after seeing more from that venue.

This is the week we get hyped for camp bodys.

I wonder what sort of "deals" the Mavs have agreed to. That doesn't specify, and this time of year, there are multiple possibilities for undrafted rookies. There are also restrictions.

Most likely, these are just Summer League deals, as you can't sign undrafted players to NBA contracts until free agency begins. You also can't do the most popular type of "camp invite" contract until you have 14 players under contract. And they have to keep in mind the 20 player roster limit, on signing that will bring the player to camp.

At this point in the offseason, these deals tend to only be "prove it" for the Summer League, with camp deals being given after the Summer League to the ones they like the best after seeing more from that venue (and after signings and trades in the early part of the free agency, that will add players).
