What happened: After waiving Seth Lundy alongside John Poulakidas, the Dallas Mavericks are considering Lundy for their newly opened two-way contract spot, per The Stein Line. Lundy suited up for Dallas against the Atlanta Hawks in the teams' preseason finale prior to his release.

Why it matters: Parting with Poulakidas created the two-way vacancy required for Dallas to potentially retain Lundy entering the regular season. Keeping the former Atlanta draft pick within the organization preserves perimeter depth as the Mavericks finalize their roster following a 135-111 preseason loss to the Hawks.

What to watch: Lundy must clear league waivers before the Mavericks can formally sign him to the open two-way slot ahead of the regular season.
