Dallas Mavericks President Masai Ujiri on waiving Dwight Powell: “Dwight was the consummate professional throughout his 12 seasons with the Mavericks and embodies everything you want in someone representing your organization. He’s a tireless worker, an incredible teammate and someone whose impact extends well beyond the basketball court and into the Dallas community. We are grateful for everything Dwight has contributed to this franchise. He will always be part of the Mavericks family, and Dallas will always be a home for him. We wish him nothing but the best in this next chapter.”

Intel from @thesteinline: - Brandon Miller is the "top contender" to be the next player to sign a rookie-scale extension - Anthony Black is not expected to sign a rookie-scale extension by the Monday 6 p.m. ET deadline - Moussa Cisse is a "real candidate" to be claimed off waivers if the Mavs waive him in order to retain Dwight Powell - Sixers and Lakers have interest in signing Cisse to a two-way deal if he is waived and clears - Knicks only would have dealt Tyler Kolek during roster trimming process if trade brought a center back to New York

We almost went the whole week in the NBA without a single rookie scale extension. Then Oklahoma City and Cason Wallace got their deal done just now AND gave us the perfect spark for the latest Late Night NBA Intel. My Sunday Best notes are all here: https://t.co/ND0wVC5riF https://t.co/AttDuECPwo
It was important for OKC to extend Cason Wallace, because I think one of the cap space teams would have pursued him with a big offer sheet as an RFA. But, man, the Thunder going to be looking at a potentially massive tax bill next season. Can't wait to see how they navigate it.
Shams: Cason Wallace has agreed to a 5-year, $139M extension with the Thunder. https://t.co/QvJ65s8Kq4
