The Dallas Mavericks had a pretty calm free agency period. They agreed to an extension with Kyrie Irving, who opted out of his player option to lower his cap hit for this coming season, signed D'Angelo Russell in a long-expected move, and agreed to re-sign Dante Exum on a minimum contract after his two seasons in Dallas.

Charania said Exum considered two other contenders, but chose to re-sign with Dallas. Russell and Exum figure to share the ball-handling duties while Irving is on the mend.
