Now that most of the Dallas Mavericks money is tied up for this season, there will be very little happening for the Mavs in free agency. However, those few remaining million could still go towards other players that could be available on a small or minimum deal.

There are still some good players available for the Dallas Mavericks and they may not cost more than a minimum contract to get. If Dallas chooses to keep pursuing in hopes of filling a couple roster spots from players outside the organization, there will be offers available.

Here are a couple guys Dallas should at least look into for filling the end of the bench roles.

Quincy Acy

Quincy Acy became a bit of a Mavs fan-favorite in his very short time here. He reminded me a lot fo DeJuan Blair or Brandon Bass in the post, but he has also become a serviceable shooter from behind the arc in his time with Brooklyn. He played in only 6 games with Dallas and averaged only 8 minutes in those games, but he still had a fanbase in Dallas.

Acy was born and raised in Texas and even attended Baylor University. He was selected 37th overall in the 2012 Draft but struggled finding his place on the court for Toronto, New York and Sacramento. When he got to the Mavs, he seemed like the type of player that would jump right into Carlisle’s system and be semi-successful.

Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Acy never broke into Carlisle’s rotation and he was gone before we really ever got to see him on the court. The Nets snagged him and put him to work right away.

Despite the lack of success in the first attempt, I think Acy would be able to find a spot in the slighty more shallow frontcourt of the Mavericks now. He is 27 years old right now and would probably love a 1-2 year contract so he could prove himself before he hits 30. Dallas could offer that.
