Mid-Level targets

[DanSchwartzgan]

Three side notes about a RFA snt - (1) they can also bring another player or two besides the RFA, so (2) the Mavs could in theory solve several issues with the right trade, and (3) if helpful, the Mavs could roll such a trade into the OKC/SAC deal and reduce the amount of matching salary the other team needs to take.

This is what I’ve been saying ever since the Bertans deal was announced and everyone wanted it to be about a TE and the MLE.  With some of the dollar amounts being tossed around, our MLE isn’t worth anything.  But, we have a trade spread of about the same as  the MLE amount ($5mm plus $7.5mm if Holmes waives his TK).  And Curry could easily be moved to the TP-MLE from the BAE (more subterfuge?).  

Given that we have 8 guards and four centers under contract, it feels like there has to be something more and I’m not sure that something more will be the MLE.
