Dallas added Santi Aldama and Marcus Sasser in a six-team trade

On July 8, 2026, with the deal first reported July 1, Dallas acquired Santi Aldama from Memphis, Marcus Sasser from Detroit, and the draft rights to Tarik Biberovic in a six-team swap that also moved Khris Middleton back to Washington on a three-year, $17.6 million sign-and-trade.

Aldama averaged 14 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 43 games for Memphis in 2025-26. Dallas sent AJ Johnson, a top-20-protected 2030 first via Golden State, and a 2029 second to Memphis. Biberovic later signed a two-year, $6 million deal. Sasser, a Red Oak native, is a 38.6% career three-point shooter.
