What happened: Restricted free agent Moussa Cisse has agreed to a two-year offer sheet with the New York Knicks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal is half guaranteed in the first season, with 2027-28 fully non-guaranteed. The Dallas Mavericks now have 48 hours to match the offer or let Cisse leave.
Why it matters: Cisse's departure would thin Dallas's frontcourt depth after the Mavericks already reshaped their roster this offseason by acquiring guard Marcus Sasser. For New York, adding Cisse on a modest, mostly non-guaranteed deal fits a roster that already brought back Jordan Clarkson on a one-year contract as the club defends its title.
What to watch: The Mavericks' 48-hour window to match the offer sheet runs through Monday.
