Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

Last year at this same time, we had inked a few players for summer league. Where are those signings now? The two Europeans (and the Russian) will be here probably, but guys like Tyler Smith and Cisse aren't going to be doing summer league. Any ideas?

Not 100% sure yet, but I think the summer league/two way potential guys were actually drafted this year. As in, I think this is a different approach than the Mavs' usual, which was likely passed down though holdovers from Cuban/Nelson to Cuban/Harrison. 

It feels like these guys weren't interested in negotiating with that type, but preferred to get them locked in by spending draft picks. I think DJJ clone and Russian dude are people the last regime would've waited and tried to sign after the draft, and possibly might've missed on as a result? 

Then again, maybe there'll be 3 rookie FA's signed in the next 12 hours and I'll have been way wrong.
