Last week, the Dallas Mavericks waived Olivier-Maxence Prosper after two years with the team to create room to bring back Dante Exum. Waiving or trading Prosper was long reported as a possibility, as they had 16 players on standard contracts and needed to create an open roster spot, but the Mavs missed an under-the-radar opportunity to bring him back as he signed a two-way deal with the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday morning, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Mavericks fans may be confused about how the Mavs could've brought back Prosper, as they don't have a standard contract to give him, but they could've tried to bring him back on a two-way deal.
