The Dallas Mavericks have been shaking things up a little bit this summer, despite it being pretty quiet. Bringing in Dennis Smith Jr. through the draft was the first big step for the Mavs summer, and it was a big one. Determining Dirk Nowitzki’s contract was equally important, as well as the Mavs trade for Josh McRoberts and shedding A.J. Hammons contract.
Dallas’ trading of Jarrod Uthoff to the Houston Rockets was also a small but semi-important move for the Mavs. The waiving of Nico Brussino is just another move in the Mavs quiet clearance summer. However, this move carries a little bit more weight than the rest of them.
