NBA offseason updates: Mavericks trades and Kings outlook

The Dallas Mavericks have completed several roster moves during the 2026 offseason. Key transactions include signing Moussa Cisse to a two-year minimum salary contract and acquiring the draft rights to Sergio de Larrea, Vsevolod Ishchenko, and Santi Aldama through various multi-team trades. The Mavericks also signed rookie Morez Johnson Jr. to a four-year rookie scale contract.

In Sacramento, the Kings are projected to struggle in the 2026–27 season following the departure of coach Mike Brown and star guard De’Aaron Fox. NBA scouts suggest the team will likely remain at the bottom of the Western Conference, despite retaining veterans Malik Monk, Keegan Murray, and Domantas Sabonis. Zach LaVine also remains with the roster, providing veteran shooting support.
