I think PHI will either simply sign him to MLE or will end up with a choice to match or don't match an MLE. I think that would have been Mavs choice as well.
There's a very small chance of a SNT from a team without an MLE, but in the hard cap world, that almost certainly means PHI takes back MORE than MLE salary. Way more likely to see him simply sign with someone.
There's a gamble he won't get an MLE offer from anyone, and he can be retained for less, but obviously it wasn't one the Mavs were willing to take.
