Saturday evening, the Dallas Mavericks announced their latest free agency move. In a deal that many expected to take place, the organization signed forward Marquese Chriss, who was then on his third 10-day COVID-19 hardship contract with the team, and waived center Willie Cauley-Stein.
Chirss is the second player to get a contract with the Mavericks after joining the team as a replacement player. Guard Theo Pinson recently signed a two-way contract. The move marks a small, albeit notable, chapter in Nico Harrison’s tenure as general manager. He’s starting to build the team to his liking less than a year into the job.
