Tough decisions, and wish nothing but the best for Dozier. He should have stayed one more year in college, however.

Nope. Two-way deals are fluid for the team holding the contract. For instance, we could waive a player like McRoberts and upgrade Motley or Clavell's contracts to a full NBA contract. Another team cannot sign those two since they are on a Mavericks contract. The only thing team have to have is room on their 15-man roster to do so. Players are usually given minimum contracts, but after two years on a two-way, players can get early-bird rights after finishing their second year.

Once Dozier signs his two-way contract with OKC, we can't offer him a contract (two-way or normal NBA), because he'll be under contract with OKC.

Got it, thanks!
