MAVS NEWS:

[F Gump]

My fear is that THJ and/or Bullock have to be moved for less in return salary wise because the Mavs are trying to make room to get Kyrie signed under the TAX/Apron 1...
Exactly the kind of move they took advantage of last night might come back and bite them in the assets.

I think you are way off on sequence, and potential ramifications.

They will figure out Kyrie 1st. Then they will work with the options that remain. 

They may CHOOSE to trade players, but no reason to be backed into a corner. 

I am making the leap to assume that the moves last night flowed from expertise added (Lindsey specifically) and Cuban (by multiple accounts) not being personally involved in the decisions (which has NOT been the case in prior years, making it particularly noticeable this year). And then trusting that similar expertise will be handling what happens from here.
