The move

Jorge Diaz-Graham, a 23-year-old rookie forward, joins the Dallas Mavericks. He came in from free agency with no roster home, and the move was detected from the official roster on Tuesday, Oct. 13. No report logged the move ahead of time, so there is no prior source or confidence level tied to it.

The money
