Mavericks To Waive Willie Cauley-Stein, Sign Marquese Chriss

Jan 15, 2022 5:14 PM

The Dallas Mavericks are planning to waive center Willie Cauley-Stein. This move will open the roster spot necessary for Dallas to keep Marquese Chriss.

Cauley-Stein is on an expiring deal of $4.1 million. Dallas will eat that amount in dead money on their cap, unless Cauley-Stein is claimed off waivers.

This season, Cauley-Stein has played in just 18 games. He hasn't appeared in a contest for Dallas since November 27. Since that point, Cauley-Stein has been out due to personal reasons.

The Mavericks have signed Chriss to three 10-day hardship contracts. Now that Dallas no longer has any players in the health and safety protocols, they risked losing Chriss upon completion of his third 10-day deal.

The Mavs will sign Chriss to a prorated two-year, veteran minimum contract. Chriss will make approximately $3 million over the two seasons.

Cavaliers To Waive Tacko Fall From Two-Way Contract; Sign Brandon Goodwin

Jan 9, 2022 4:22 PM

The Cleveland Cavaliers will waive center Tacko Fall from his Two-Way contract. The Cavs will then sign point guard Brandon Goodwin to replace Fall. Goodwin is currently on a 10-Day hardship contract with Cleveland that will end on Monday.

Fall appeared in 11 games and played 59 minutes for the Cavaliers this season. The 7-foot-6 center spent the first two seasons of his NBA career with the Boston Celtics on Two-Way deals.

Goodwin is a three-year veteran who has also played for the Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks. In three games with Cleveland, the point guard has averaged 7.3 points, 4.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per contest.

The Cavs have been looking for point guard depth behind Darius Garland after losing Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio to season-ending knee injuries. Cleveland recently acquired Rajon Rondo to back up Garland.

Nuggets To Sign Davon Reed To Two-Way Contract

Jan 9, 2022 2:50 PM

The Denver Nuggets will sign wing Davon Reed to a Two-Way contract. Reed has impressed Denver while on three successive 10-Day hardship contracts.

The Nuggets were facing potentially losing Reed after his most recent 10-Day deal expired. With players returning from the health and safety protocols, and a handful of hopeful injury returns, Denver would eventually be unable to keep Reed long-term without a standard or Two-Way deal.

In 12 games with the Nuggets, Reed has averaged 4.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per contest. Denver head coach Michael Malone has praised Reed's confidence and preparedness during his time with the team.

Petr Cornelie will be waived from his Two-Way deal to open the spot for Reed. Cornelie played 38 minutes over 13 games while with the Nuggets this season.
