Walter Clayton tem time novo: o Mavericks assinou contrato two-way com o armador de 23 anos depois que o Memphis o dispensou na segunda-feira, mesmo com US$ 4,19 milhões de salário garantido ainda a pagar.
Dallas não tinha onde colocá-lo no elenco padrão, que já estava cheio, com 15 jogadores. O clube abriu espaço no grupo two-way, ao lado de Jett Howard e Tobi Lawal, ao dispensar John Poulakidas no sábado.
Sacramento, Miami e Golden State estavam entre as equipes que, segundo relatos, tinham interesse no escolhido de primeira rodada de 2025.
Clayton foi a 18ª escolha geral naquele ano, depois de uma carreira universitária na Flórida encerrada com o título nacional em sua última temporada, a de 2024/25. O Utah subiu para pegá-lo, enviando a Washington três escolhas de segunda rodada para ir da 21ª para a 18ª posição. O ano de novato nunca decolou, e ele acabou no Memphis como parte do acordo de oito jogadores que levou Jaren Jackson Jr. ao Jazz.
Em 69 partidas divididas entre Utah e Memphis na temporada passada, ele teve médias de 7,8 pontos e 4,0 assistências, além de 2,0 rebotes, em 20,4 minutos por noite; seus percentuais de arremesso foram .384/.307/.901.
Minutos na armação podem abrir espaço atrás de Kyrie Irving. Cooper Flagg, porém, é usado com frequência como point forward (ala com funções de armador), com Marcus Sasser e Sergio de Larrea como outras opções no banco.
