If he does indeed join Dallas, he would be a nice addition to a Mavericks team that will be in desperate need of defensive talent to build around Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic.
Developing a consistent jump shot would potentially turn Thybulle into steal for the value that his contract will be worth in the future as well.
The Mavericks also agreed to a three-team sign-and-trade to acquire forward Grant Williams from the Boston Celtics.
Williams is another player with a strong reputation on the defensive side of the ball, which seemingly shows a common theme in terms of the additions the Mavericks are attempting to make.
San Antonio will receive forward Reggie Bullock and an unprotected first-round pick swap in 2030 from the Mavericks.
Boston will receive multiple second round-draft picks and a $6.2 million trade exception.
