It seems like it will be difficult for the Mavericks to free up the cap space to sign DJJ to a market-value deal. We're all hoping that he will take some discount to stay here. I spend too much time hoping for this outcome.
I had an idea that I can imagine playing out in everyone's favor. I'm not suggesting a conspiracy. I can see this working out though.
DJJ signs a market value deal with a really bad team with capspace- something like 4-years, $55 million with the Pistons, Hornets or Wizards.
After 3 months, DJJ's new team realizes they are still a bad team and are better off tanking the remainder of the season. We then trade THJ's expiring deal and couple of 2nd-round picks for DJJ.
DJJ gets his money. We get DJJ back in a beautiful reunion. Mavericks beat the Celtics to become the 2025 NBA Champions. Storybook ending.
