Masai Ujiri's first offseason running the show as the Mavericks' team president has been a busy one to say the least.
Not only was he tasked with beginning Dallas' rebuild around Cooper Flagg in earnest, but the offseason also included a head coaching search that ended with a splashy hire in Dusty May, who was coming off a national championship in his second season at Michigan.
The Mavs have made a variety of moves as they turn the roster over around Flagg and the roster already looks significantly different than it did in 2025-26, specifically with its international influence. New general manager Mike Schmitz, who Ujiri brought into the front office, is known for his scouting background, especially European players and his mark on Dallas' new-look roster is clear.
Here is the full list of every player the Mavs have added, lost and which players are still free agents.
Who's in?
Moussa Cisse: Cisse impressed in his rookie season in Dallas and garnered some interest on the restricted free agent market. The New York Knicks offered him a two-year, non-guaranteed offer sheet, which the Mavericks quickly matched to keep the young center in Dallas.
Tarik Biberovic: Biberovic's draft rights were acquired from Memphis in a massive six-team trade and the Mavs later inked Biberovic to a two-year, $6 million deal in hopes his elite shooting in the Turkish Basketball Super League translates to the NBA.
Santi Aldama: Aldama was also acquired from Memphis in the six-team megadeal. The Spanish big man joins a crowded Dallas frontcourt after spending the first five years of his career with the Grizzlies. In 2025-26, he averaged 14 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and shot 35% from 3-point range.
Marcus Sasser: Sasser is yet another player who came to Dallas via the six-team trade, except the Red Oak native was acquired from the Pistons. The 6-1 point guard will provide some backcourt depth for the Mavs and averaged 5.2 points and 2 assists last season in a limited role with Detroit. Sasser is a 38.6% 3-point shooter in his three-year career.
Morez Johnson Jr.: The No. 9 pick in the 2026 draft was by far the Mavs' most valuable asset entering the offseason and they spent it on Johnson, who was a key piece in May's national championship roster with the Wolverines. He was a versatile defensive ace for Michigan and displayed some offensive ability, averaging 13.1 points and 7.3 rebounds last year.
Sergio De Larrea: De Larrea was acquired in a draft night deal as Dallas moved up from No. 30 to No. 25 to take the 20-year-old guard out of Spain. He could figure into Dallas' guard rotation quicker than anticipated after he impressed with his playmaking ability during NBA Summer League action, averaging 8 points and 8.8 assists per game.
Tobi Lawal: Lawal is an athletic big man out of Virginia Tech, taken by Dallas with the No. 48 pick. Dallas inked him to a two-way contract shortly after the draft. In his final collegiate season, the 23-year-old averaged 12.3 points and 8.5 rebounds.
Vsevolod Ishchenko: Ishchenko was also acquired on draft night. He was taken by the Lakers with the No. 56 pick but was redirected to Dallas in exchange for cash considerations. Ishchenko impressed some in Summer League action, but it remains to be seen if the Mavs will sign him or allow him to continue developing overseas.
Zaccharie Risacher: The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft joins the Mavericks via a three-team deal. The French forward was the top pick in a weak draft class and has underwhelmed so far, but will get a fresh start in Dallas. In 142 career games, he's averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and shot 36% from 3-point range.
Jett Howard: The team signed Howard, the son of former Maverick Juwan Howard, to a two-way contract. He was the No. 11 pick in the 2023 draft but things didn't work out in Orlando. Last year, he averaged 5.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 55 games with the Magic last year.
Who's out?
Marvin Bagley III: Bagley came to Dallas as a part of the Anthony Davis trade but wasn't a Maverick for long as he signed a one-year deal with the Nuggets this offseason.
Khris Middleton: Middleton, like Bagley, was acquired in the Davis deal with Washington. Ironically, he went back to Washington on a three-year, $17.6 million deal that turned into a sign-and-trade with the Mavericks that was looped into the aforementioned six-team trade.
Ryan Nembhard: Nembhard impressed in his rookie season with Dallas and played his way into a standard contract with the Mavericks. However, he was sent to Atlanta as a part of the three-team deal that brought Risacher to Dallas.
AJ Johnson: Like Middleton, Johnson was a part of the Davis trade with Washington and was lumped into the six-team megadeal. Except, unlike Middleton, Johnson is not going back to the Wizards and was sent to Memphis in the trade.
Tyler Smith: Smith was signed by Dallas in March of last season and appeared in 23 games for the Mavericks on a two-way contract. He was waived by the Mavericks and his two-way slot was given to Howard.
Who's still looking for work?
Brandon Williams: Williams averaged 13 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 66 games last year with the Mavericks but has yet to find a landing spot in the league. He shot 47.2% from the field and 23.2% from 3-point range in 2025-26.
Dwight Powell: Has the longtime Maverick's tenure in Dallas come to an end? Powell, who just turned 35 years old and is fifth in franchise history in games played, is a free agent and has not found a free agent destination just yet.
