The Chicago Bulls should seize the opportunity to sign newly minted free agent Olivier Maxence-Prosper after the Dallas Mavericks released the young forward.
Dallas released the 23-year-old and stretched the $3 million remaining on his rookie contract to make room to sign Dante Exum to a minimum-salary deal, thereby remaining under the second apron. Per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Mavericks attempted to trade Maxence-Prosper but chose not to include a future second-round pick to sweeten any deal.
Scotto adds that the former Marquette standout is expected to "draw free agency interest" now that he's hit the market, and the Bulls should throw their hat into the ring.
