Yeah Bobby is repeating what I'm saying here. The Mavs are hard capped at the 1st apron. That limit is 178.2

The Mavs total team salary with Lawson on the books is:  $175,878,409

That leaves them below the 1st apron with about  $2,253,591 of room remaining and a roster of 14 players.

They could waive Lawson's deal and open up  $4,374,274 of space, which is just a hair under the BAE (that is 4.7mil). That is also the amount of space they have remaining of the MLE. So the Mavs can save their BAE if they want to.
