Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

So dumb question...I see a lot of proposed trades involving AD going to another team for multiple players. How does a one for many work on the Mavs side since there's no roster spots?

Mavs would have to waive a players or players. Likely, Exum and/or Powell since they are on the last year of their deal. Could also route the “extra” players to a third team before the deal is finalized. All of that would be worked out before we hear of any trade.
