Trade & FA 2024-25:

Yep. It seems quite possible their plan is to try to stay under the tax line IF Klay says no, but will go on up to the Apron to get him, if he says yes.

My numbers show that the biggest practical number for a Klay offer now would be around 17.45M in 1st year salary (or less), and that the deal could be as simple as Green for Klay, after 1st doing the THJ deal.

Over 3 years, the total could be as high as 55M.

I like that the Mavs are still in the mode of working to get reasonably-sized deals, but disappointed they aren't able to keep DJJ. But DJJ messed that up by switching agents at such a stupid time that prevented the Mavs from dealing with him.

I see the vision and the execution of the plan(s). I trust Nico.
