The Milwaukee Bucks and Wisconsin Herd have something the Dallas Mavericks desperately want: Dennis Smith Jr. After waiving Smith, the Mavericks intend to keep Smith with their G League team, the Texas Legends, but they need to acquire his rights from the Herd first. Per insider Marc Stein, the two sides are in talks about getting a deal done.

A deal for Smith will likely go down fairly soon. It's clear that he wants to be with the Mavericks, so the Bucks and Herd should take whatever they can get.
