The Mavericks are acquiring the draft rights to Tarik Biberovic as part of the Santi Aldama trade with Grizzlies. Sources tell Bugra Uzar of Eurohoops.net that Dallas is expected to give the Fenerbahce sharpshooter a “significant” contract offer in the near future.

It’s unclear what a “significant” offer would entail. Most second-round picks are signed using the second-round exception — if the Mavs want to use it on Biberovic, they could offer the maximum salaries that the exception allows and guarantee up to three seasons. They could also dip into their mid-level exception or bi-annual exception to present a more lucrative offer.

According to Marc Stein of The Stein Line (Twitter link), the Mavs have begun talking to Biberovic’s agents about the possibility of the 25-year-old coming stateside next season. Sources tell Stein that the swingman’s contract with Fenerbahce features a $2MM buyout — Dallas can only cover up to $900K of that total, Stein notes, and Biberovic would be responsible for the rest.

Memphis selected Biberovic with the 56th overall pick in the 2023 draft. The 6’7″ guard/forward reportedly received “serious” interest from NBA teams last offseason prior to re-signing with Fenerbahce. One report at the time said Biberovic declined a contract offer from the Grizzlies before he decided to remain in Turkey.

A 25-year-old wing, Biberovic helped Fenerbahce win the EuroLeague title in 2025. The Turkish team has also won four domestic championships in his eight seasons with the club.

Biberovic is known as a top-tier shooter, having posted a .524/.419/.952 slash line in 41 EuroLeague contests in 2025/26. He averaged 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.3 minutes per game this season.
