What happened: Dallas acquired Santi Aldama and the rights to Tarik Biberovic in a multi-team transaction. A separate deal brought in Zaccharie Risacher, the former No. 1 overall pick.
Why it matters: Aldama offers near-term flexibility as he approaches his athletic prime. Dallas must soon decide on Risacher's player option for 2027-28 before he has played for the club.
By the numbers: The poll split 62% for the Aldama-Biberovic package and 38% for the Risacher deal.
What to watch: Their roles during the 2026-27 season will provide the first on-court comparison between the two moves.
