We knew that Matisse Thybulle was targeted by the Mavericks, looking for defenders to complete their squad around Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Elected all the same twice in the All-Defensive Second Team (2021 and 2022), the Australian winger accepted a three-year, $33 million deal. Which roughly corresponds to the “mid-level exception”. A signing came a few hours after the arrival of Grant Williams, who arrived from Boston to also strengthen the defense of Dallas.
As the Australian full-back/winger is a protected free agent, the Blazers have 24 hours to match the offer. Or not. For the moment, nothing has filtered through on Portland’s intentions, weighed down by Damian Lillard’s transfer request. Only Jerami Grant extended, at full price, and only rookies Scoot Henderson and Rayan Rupert arrived.
