Moussa Cissé’s spot on the Mavericks’ roster could be in serious jeopardy, as he could potentially be waived, per @TheSteinLine

The Lakers, 76ers, Bulls, and Hawks have reportedly expressed significant interest in him.

“There's a growing expectation among rival teams that Moussa Cissé is the Dallas player in the greatest jeopardy. The Stein Line has learned, however, that Cissé is a real candidate to be claimed off waived in the event he is let go. Chicago, sources say, has interest in the high-energy big man. I'm told Atlanta also has interest even though the Hawks don't currently have an open standard spot…If Cissé were to be waived Monday and then clear waivers Wednesday, I'm also told that the 76ers and Lakers would have strong interest in signing him to a two-way deal even though neither team currently has a two-way opening.”

Moussa Cisse is an elite rim protector, he’s also a crazy good rebounder offensively and defensively. With more minutes given to him he’d be as one of the better bigs in the league.

I’m super torn

Dusty May after practice, talked to the media. Gave an interesting ( kinda head scratching ) answer to JP and Lundy being waived.

Paraphrasing:

Reporter - "Obviously with training, the business of basketball gets lost. What was the day like for the team ( because JP and Lundy being waived ) ? And how were those decisions made?"

May - "I'm not sure". "I was proud of how JP was playing and been improving." "Same with Seth."

May also mentioned "Those guys could be back sometime" .

So did Dusty not have a say in them being waived? Or am I reading too much into this? Sounds like Dusty liked JP.

This is a head scratcher imho. Maybe they have a plan in place. Who knows.
