How Knicks' Moussa Cisse Offer Sheet Works, and What Deadline Mavericks Have to Match It

On Saturday, restricted free agent Moussa Cisse agreed to a two-year offer sheet with the New York Knicks, leaving the Dallas Mavericks 48 hours to decide whether to match the deal.
The Mavericks originally signed Cisse as an undrafted free agent last year following his college career at Memphis, Oklahoma State, and Ole Miss, extending a qualifying offer in late June that made him a restricted free agent.
Cisse averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 38 appearances during his rookie season; his new contract features a half-guaranteed first year and non-guaranteed second year.
Seeking frontcourt depth after former Knicks center Mitchell Robinson departed for the Boston Celtics, the Knicks also signed Andre Drummond, with Cisse providing additional support behind center Karl-Anthony Towns.
Dallas must decide by Monday whether to match the offer; while the Mavericks have frontcourt depth with Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, and Santi Aldama, the team faces injury concerns and trade rumors.
