After the Dallas Mavericks waived Olivier-Maxence Prosper on Friday, it officially made room for them to bring back Dante Exum sometime soon. Dallas had been rumored to bring back Exum for months, as rumors that they had agreed to terms to bring him back emerged earlier in the summer, but they had to get rid of a player on a standard deal to create an open roster spot.
Now, with Exum being signed soon, it will finally give Jason Kidd another ball handler that he can utilize while Kyrie Irving is out. Irving will miss a decent chunk of next season after he tore his ACL back in March, and with the Exum signing happening at some point soon, Kidd will have another player who can run the offense and solidify the backcourt to begin the season.
