We may be looking to trade him, though with Luka/Brunson getting 99% of the min at PG and Franky Smokes expected to be third string.

Actual quote from Stein:
League sources say that the Mavericks explored the trade market for Trey Burke, 28, in the offseason before signing Frank Ntilikina in hopes of clearing a roster spot for Ntilikina’s addition. No trade materialized, so Dallas has 16 guaranteed contracts (if you include Moses Brown’s partially guaranteed deal) and has to shed one before the start of the regular season. Releasing Burke would be a costly move, since he is owed more than $6 million this season and next season, but Dallas is expected to continue to explore trade scenarios to try to address its roster overload. 6 hours ago – via Marc Stein @ marcstein.substack.com
