The Story in 60 Seconds

The Dallas Mavericks finalized their standard 15-man roster ahead of the regular season by waiving Dwight Powell, but an open two-way roster spot remains available after waiving John Poulakidas. Writer Noah Weber argues that the franchise has a strong track record of developing two-way talent and highlights three potential free-agent targets Dallas should pursue to fill the final vacancy before the season begins.

Weber proposes Seth Lundy, Walter Clayton Jr., and Koby Brea as ideal two-way contract candidates. Lundy offers defensive size and perimeter shooting after playing for Dallas in the preseason, while Clayton provides secondary playmaking after being waived by the Memphis Grizzlies. Weber rates Brea, recently waived by the Phoenix Suns, as the top option due to his high-level perimeter shooting.
