Mavs could make the choice to keep him until his contract is about to become guaranteed, and decide then whether to make him a "permanent" offer.
Burke -- suggests they have been trying to trade him, but have encountered no takers. If they can find a buyer, Burke will be gone by opening night. If not, he still might be cut, although that would require eating his salary for this season and next. He does not play well, may have a ready replacement in Frankie, and is generating additional hassle for the team by refusing to get vaccinated and requiring them to set up a whole separate protocol just for him.
Ntilikina -- Kidd has made several comments that Frank was brought in to provide "friendly competition" in training camp. Don't know yet what he can bring, and he may or may not make the team.
Terry -- is continuing to struggle with personal problems. May not see much of him at all this season. Mavs have to decide whether his contributions are worth waiting for.
