The Outsiders are back with one of your favorite episodes from last season, The Outsiders Play GM. In the second episode, Bibs gets his shot at playing Dallas Mavericks GM while Reese handles the duties of being the players being pitched to or the team to which a trade is being proposed.
A quick rundown of the rules:
Reese will be allowed to veto 5 of Bibs' moves
A back-and-forth negotiation of a proposed trade only counts as one veto
Grant is here to ensure that the trades are legal, track the roster count, and track the money
The Dallas Mavericks are in an interesting situation coming into the offseason. With Luka's max contract extension going into effect, the team is operating over the cap. Jalen Brunson is an unrestricted free agent who can technically leave without the Mavs being able to stop him. However, if he stays, the contract he receives will only impact Mark Cuban's luxury tax bill.
The Mavs also technically have a full roster of players so any additions that are made will likely also mean the departure of a player that was on the team this past season. A season that saw the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.
Will Bibs make any big changes to the roster or will things pretty much stay the same? We shall see.
