The Dallas Mavericks have matched the New York Knicks’ two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet for restricted free agent Moussa Cisse, keeping the big man in Dallas.
Cisse had been a restricted free agent, giving the Mavericks the right to match any offer sheet he signed with another team. New York extended a two-year deal worth $4.7 million, but Dallas elected to retain him under the same terms.
Mavericks Retain Frontcourt Depth
By matching the offer sheet, the Mavericks maintain control of Cisse’s contract and preserve an additional frontcourt option on their roster. The decision also prevents the Knicks from adding him after making their move in restricted free agency.
The agreement resolves Cisse’s free agency status and keeps him with the Mavericks on a two-year deal.
