Dwight Powell officially re-signed with the Dallas Mavericks on a veteran's minimum deal, but the team must trade or waive a player to create an open regular-season roster spot. Marc Stein reports that Dallas already has 15 players on standard contracts, leaving team officials exploring options that could include moving Marcus Sasser, Tarik Biberovic, Moussa Cisse, or Caleb Martin.
Elsewhere, Stein reports that Walker Kessler's representatives indicated he would take his qualifying offer, prompting the Utah Jazz to trade him to the Los Angeles Lakers. Additionally, Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving stated he will not allow ongoing trade rumors to distract Dallas's younger players.
