Richaun Holmes - all he contributes is a contract for trading

They tried to go into the tax for Thybulle. I don't mind them dodging it this year if the remaining players they can sign aren't worth it. It will delay the repeater tax which could help them spend more in a future offseason when there is a better opportunity to add talent.

Yeah. It remains to be seen how tax averse Cuban will actually be, on the whole. 

I am fine with avoiding the tax this season, as a team building stratagem. As you say, there aren’t a lot of compelling reasons to pay it, and there are real advantages to avoiding it whenever possible.

I am not fine with using that rational over and over to justify not paying tax.  It’s his money and his toy, but something about his reputation for being willing to spend whatever it takes (leftover from his first decade as owner) juxtaposed with the fact that he has basically become one of the most tax averse owners in the game bothers me. If we’re still having this conversation in a year or two I’ll be disappointed. 

If staying under the tax is the reason for not re-signing Josh Green, for example…I mean, they’ll never tell us that, but it will be pretty obvious. How serious Cuban is financially with the long term of the core they’re starting to put in place will go a long way towards determining how high my hopes will get.
