Under the radar signing (offer sheet) by New York. 8 games last season of at least 5 reb. Dallas has until Monday @ 11 Via @BobbyMarks42 on X

What happened: New York has signed restricted free agent Moussa Cisse to a two-year offer sheet. Dallas now has until Monday at 11:59 p.m. ET to match it or lose him to the Knicks.

Why it matters: The contract is half-guaranteed in year one, giving Dallas an easier exit if it matches and later moves on from Cisse. Offseason roster rules let Dallas expand to 21 players, so matching would not require a corresponding cut.

By the numbers: Cisse posted at least 5 rebounds in 8 games last season. The offer sheet becomes fully guaranteed on October 1.

What to watch: Dallas's matching decision is due Monday at 11:59 p.m. ET.
