Mavericks Match Moussa Cisse's Two-Year, $4.7M Offer Sheet With Knicks

The Dallas Mavericks have matched the New York Knicks' offer to retain restricted free agent Moussa Cisse, keeping him from potentially joining the Knicks. This move was crucial as it prevents Cisse from exploring other options, including potentially more lucrative deals. Cisse, who earned $2.2 million this season, will now see his salary drop to $1.1 million in protection and fully guaranteed from October 1. This decision is significant for the Mavericks as it solidifies their roster and keeps a player who could contribute to their team dynamics.
