As of Friday afternoon, the Dallas Mavericks finally made the long-awaited move of stretching and waiving Olivier-Maxence Prosper to create an open roster spot to finalize the re-signing of Dante Exum. Seeing a once hyped first-round selection leave for nothing in return is without a doubt a disappointment, but considering the Mavericks would have likely needed to attach a second-round pick in a salary dump-style trade for Prosper, waiving the 23-year-old makes the most sense.
With this in mind, the Mavericks are finally under the 15-man standard roster limit, which will allow them the ability to re-sign Exum whenever they'd like to make the move official.
