Dallas Mavericks

A proposed three-team trade would send Daniel Gafford to Los Angeles, reuniting him with Luka Doncic. Dallas would get Grayson Allen, Jaden Hardy and Dalton Knecht, while Charlotte would take on Caleb Martin and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Dallas is trying to find roster room to keep Dwight Powell, according to Marc Stein. Powell signed a partially guaranteed one-year deal last week, but the Mavericks already have 15 standard contracts filled. He averaged 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds last season and remains the longest-tenured player on the roster.

Golden State signed free agent guard Miles Kelly to a training camp contract, the team announced. Kelly spent his rookie year on a two-way deal with Dallas, appearing in 14 games before being waived in March.

Lakers Nation podcast host Trevor Lane argued Los Angeles should explore power forward options beyond Ziaire Williams or Adou Thiero, including Herbert Jones and P.J. Washington. He called both unlikely to actually be available but said the Lakers should still check.

Miami Herald's Anthony Chiang reports Klay Thompson's three-point shooting gives him an edge for the Heat's last starting spot over Tim Hardaway Jr. and Pelle Larsson. Thompson joined Miami after negotiating a buyout with Dallas over the summer.

Dallas rejected trade offers for Kyrie Irving during the offseason, according to The Athletic. The front office reportedly views Irving as a strong on-court fit alongside Cooper Flagg as the rebuild continues. Irving himself has expressed a desire to help develop Flagg.

Tristen Newton has signed a training camp contract with Sacramento, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac. The guard was waived by Houston in late August after two-way stints with Indiana, Minnesota and Houston.

Seth Lundy agreed to a training camp contract with the Mavericks, according to Michael Scotto. The forward has missed the last two seasons due to injuries. He put up 20.0 points and 3.8 rebounds a game across four Summer League outings with Toronto.

A proposed four-team trade would send Derrick Jones Jr. from Dallas to the Lakers, reuniting him with Luka Doncic. Los Angeles would give up Dalton Knecht to the Mavericks along with cash, while Daniel Gafford would head to the Clippers and Jake LaRavia plus cash would go to Chicago.

Dwight Powell's re-signing left Dallas at the roster limit of 15 standard contracts, and NBA insider Marc Stein reported the Mavericks have not ruled out clearing a spot to keep him.
