Grant Williams' Move to the Mavericks Sparks Controversy and Farewells

The Dallas Mavericks aimed to improve their defense and athleticism this offseason, signing Grant Williams in a sign-and-trade deal with the Boston Celtics.

Richaun Holmes waived his trade kicker to facilitate his move to Dallas, giving the team more flexibility in their offer sheet to Matisse Thybulle, which was matched by the Portland Trail Blazers.

Trail Blazers Keep Matisse Thybulle Despite Mavericks' Offer

The Portland Trail Blazers have decided to match the $33 million offer sheet from the Dallas Mavericks for restricted free agent Matisse Thybulle. The Philadelphia 76ers, who traded Thybulle last season, declined to match the offer, leading to questions about the trade. Thybulle's improved shooting in Portland and his defensive skills made him an attractive target for both teams.

Blazers' Right to Match as Mavs Sign Thybulle to Offer Sheet

Restricted free agent Matisse Thybulle intends to sign an offer sheet with the Dallas Mavericks, but the Portland Trail Blazers will have the right to match the offer. The terms of the offer are not yet known, but it is expected to be a three-year, $33 million deal. The Mavericks have not used their non-taxpayer mid-level exception, so the offer sheet will likely come out of that figure. The Blazers have signaled that they will match any reasonable offer for Thybulle, but the Mavericks are testing their commitment, possibly hoping that uncertainty surrounding Damian Lillard's future will sway their decision. The Blazers will have until Friday night to decide whether to match the offer or let Thybulle go to Dallas.

The Dallas Mavericks have made an offer sheet to Portland Trail Blazers' restricted free agent guard Matisse Thybulle, reportedly worth $33 million over three years.

However, the Blazers are not planning for a full rebuild and aim to remain competitive by keeping Thybulle and reaching an agreement with Jerami Grant on a new contract. Thybulle is known for his defensive skills and is considered the Blazers' best perimeter defender.

"Mavericks Secure Defensive Ace in Blockbuster Trade for Damian Lillard"

The Dallas Mavericks would receive a B+ grade for their involvement in a potential trade that would see them acquire Kyle Lowry and defensive ace Matisse Thybulle. In the trade, the Mavericks would take on Lowry's contract while sending out Richaun Holmes, Reggie Bullock, and JaVale McGee. Thybulle would provide a significant defensive boost to the team, potentially starting at forward or coming off the bench to guard opposing teams' best guards or wings. While the trade would affect the center rotation and cap space, the Mavericks' acquisition of Lowry and Thybulle would be a positive move overall.

Blazers' Thybulle Key, Sharpe Questionable.

The Portland Trail Blazers should try to keep Matisse Thybulle, an elite defender with potential for two-way effectiveness. While his defense is already top-notch, his offense has been a roadblock. However, since arriving in Portland, he has found his three-point shot, hitting 38 percent from that range through 22 games. Thybulle hits restricted free agency in July, and a modest four-year deal for him might make sense.
